Anecdote

"'Good, I'll tell you,' he said... I knew that had been a message from God: He was on my side. He wanted me to live for a reason." -Pg 284 Assef gives a brief anecdote to explain his conversion and his new belief in God. He was a cruel boy who found no purpose for God but he finds in his darkest hour the confidence that God had a purpose for him. I personally think this story shows his arrogance. First off, he tells this long winded story even though Amir didn't really want to hear it. I think he just wanted to hear himself talk. Also, I think it's conceited to think that God chose him to kill others simply because they were different.
