Long Answer
1. From childhood, Hassan has been braver than Abdi. He is the first to leave Mogadishu, and he is also doing what he can to get to either the US or Europe. However, he constantly helps Abdi, encouraging him to get an email account so that they can stay in touch and pushing him to maintain contact with the journalists who ultimately help him get to the United States. He also provides Abdi with guidance when he arrives in Kenya. (Various chapters)
2. His affection for the United States usually gets Abdi into political trouble, since both the Islamist government and his parents dislike the ways in which he refuses their direction to become an imam.
