Assef's Personality
This photo represents Assef's personality. The weed feeds off the tree's resources, depriving it of the necessary nutrients the tree needs to survive. This relates back to how Assef takes pleasure in destroying Sohrab's childhood and taking away his rights. The weed mercilessly invades the tree's space, it does not move and only kills the tree more. The mercilessness of the weed reflects Assef's personality for he also ruthlessly kills the people surrounding him. As the weed invades the grass' space, it weakens it, for the nutrients of the soil have been taken by the weed. Assef weakens anyone he interacts with, both mentally and physically.

I like how you call Assef a weed. The connections between the tree and the soil are also very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think this metaphor describes what Assef does to others as the weeds are stealing what the tree needs to survive and grow healthily.
ReplyDeleteAssef truly is parasitic to Sohrab's entire existence, as the weeds are to the tree. This was a great picture to use for this metaphor.
ReplyDeleteI like this metaphor and the idea that Assef is taking away "nutrients" from Sohrab. You made some very interesting connections.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between Amir and Assef is represented really well in this picture and it shows why Assef is such an important character throughout the story. At the same time, I could also see the picture representing Amir and Baba's relationship by showing how Amir learns from Baba.
