Character Analysis Of Kamrann Captive In A Cell
Character:

Scene: Kamran held captive in a cell.
Song: let you down.
Artist: NF
Bg story: Kamran was held in cell due to his relationship with his brother.
This was done to prevent Kamran from joining his brother in his terrorist group, and for other questioning that might occur.

Lyrics:
Feels like we're on the edge right now
I wish that I could say I'm proud
I'm sorry that I let you down
Let you down
All these voices in my head get loud
I wish that I could shut them out
I'm sorry that I let you down
L-l-let you down

Connections:
This line can attest to reoccurring thoughts Kamran encountered while he was behind bars.
On the first line, NF talks about the feeling of being on the edge.
As Kamran was locked up, it can be concluded that

His hopes of helping his brother were shattered in his cell.
Following that, NF goes on to say I wish I can say I'm proud.
Kamran had the aspiration of proving his brother’s innocence on the matter of being a terrorist. But as he sat in his cell unhappily, he ruminated on the fact that he was a disappointment, that no one could be proud of.
The fourth line speaks of letting someone down but who?
To relate this line to the book, Kamran was dwelling on the fact that he let Darius down, he was beating himself up, upon the matter that Darius could indeed die as a result of his stay in prison.
In the seventh line, NF recognizes his quote on quote “let down actions" and feels apologetic for them by saying sorry.
This is so with Kamran, when he felt sorrowful for his inability to help his brother. Tears ran down his face saying
…show more content…
Yeah, I'ma just ignore you
Walking towards you, with my head down lookin' at the ground, I'm embarrassed for you

Connections: In this section, NF talks about his relationship with his dad.
But in relation to the book, these lines can be correlated to the relationship between Kamran and his brother Darius.
This can be perceived as Kamran trying to clear his brother's name but as he does so, it seems to make things worse, like in line 1 and 2.
In the book, Kamran feels like he's wasting his time because he can't tell if his brother takes notice in what he's doing.
The last two lines can testify to Kamran's inconsistent doubts, this is due to the fact that Kamran variably lets other people’s doubts about Darius enter into his head causing him to get embarrassed for his brother.
Lastly, Kamran wasn't on board with his brother’s decision to go to war so he did what line 4 said. Simple. And later regretted his decision when his brother did leave.

Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you
Very loyal?

    This quote shows that the relationship between Amir and Hassam is becoming stressed. After Amir watched Hassam get raped, he felt extremely bad that he did not do anything. The relationship is nowhere near the closeness they had before. Every time that Amir sees Hassam, he is reminded of his inability to act in that situation. He feels as though he let Hassam down and does not deserve how loyal Hassam is to him. Their relationship is no longer as close and now Amir does not want to see him anymore. Hassam is still loyal, but Amir does not feel as worthy of the loyalty. He feels like he is unable to breath because of the painful memories. This is shown by how he comments that the air has no air in it. All of the older memories of their friendship…
