Lesson 26/11

We've been asked to write down some quotes to show Assef's evil, irredeemable character.... I wrote a lot down on paper, so here I'll just put up some of the ones from chapters 21 and 22:
'We listen to what God says... WE SHALL THROW THE STONES BACK!'- uses religion as an excuse to kill people
'You enjoyed the show today?'- takes pleasure from stoning people
'You don't know the meaning of the word 'liberating' until you've done that... let the bullets fly'- excited by death and killing, has a twisted understanding of the word liberating
'His hands slid down the child's back', and 'kissed the side of Sohrab's neck' -disgusting imagery, the reader knows he rapes children
'a half-Hazara, half-Uzbek thing'- doesn't accept some religious groups as people
'ethnic cleansing. I like it'- has become even more like Hitler as he's grown up
'I didn't say you could take him for free... you have to earn him'- likes toying with his victims, makes everything dramatic
'Let him watch. Lessons are good things for boys'- likes to corrupt children's innocence
