There is lots of evidence that we can use to show that Assef has demon-like qualities. For example when he is just about to rape Hassan he says, '...so it will always remind you of what I'm about to do'. Assef wants Amir to never forget this.
When he is talking about the executions he describes it as 'the show', which is very disturbing and shows that Assef takes pleasure in hurting and killing people.
'Assef was standing over them' this makes Assef seem like he looks down his nose at everyone and thinks he is better than them.
"You don't know the meaning of the word 'liberating' until you've done that..let the bullets fly' this shows us that death excites him, not what most people would class as liberating.
Assef contradicts himself in the way he lives. He says he is religious but then does the things he does. 'Only stopped to eat and pray' suggests he is religious but then massacres people and puts on a 'show' to kill people. Which doesn't sound very religious to me. His head is not screwed on right..

Friday
It was our first supply lesson today and she is really nice. In the lesson we made a massive poster and wrote down the main characters names and themes in the book, Guilt was one of these. We wrote down our thoughts under each title, this really helped because we got to see what other people think.
The lesson after this we looked at a poem by Sylvia Plath called 'You're'. We were then challenged to write our own poem in this style but write it about Hassan. I handed in my poem so sadly it cannot be blogged, what a shame. :/
