Journal Entry (75 words) chpt.21-22

In Chapres 21-22 the cruelty of the Taliban is clearly in evidence. Give 2-3 examples.

In chapter 21 the Taliban are very cruel because when Amir and Farid go to Amir's old neighborhood, it was taken over by all of the Taliban. Also in chapter 21 when the man and the woman committed adultery, the Taliban resolved it by throwing rocks at them and killing them. They could have just taken the people to jail but they were too brutal to do that and they were careless of others lives.
In chapter 22 the Taliban were brutal because Amir comes to realize that when he visited the Taliban official, he found out that it was really Assef, the bully, behind the sun glasses he wore. Assef beat Amir up and broke his nose. Assef was already mean and becoming a Talibam official for him was even worse. Farid helped Amir by taking out Assef's eye with a slingshot.
