    4. We begin to understand early in the novel that Amir is constantly vying for Baba 's attention and often feels like an outsider in his father 's life, as seen in the following passage: "He 'd close the door, leave me to wonder why it was always grown-ups time with him. I 'd sit by the door, knees drawn to my chest. Sometimes I sat there for an hour, sometimes two, listening to their laughter, their chatter." Discuss Amir 's relationship with Baba.…

    How Is Baba Similar To Hassan's Life

    As I read pages 77-78, even though I didn’t like it, I found out why Amir didn’t do anything to help Hassan. All his life, he wanted to make his father proud, and he knew with the blue kite he would accomplish that. This part of the book is similar to a window. I was looking into Amir’s hardest decision in life and why he did what he did. Through Amir’s eyes, Baba’s praise was more important than Hassan’s safety. It gave me a view of hardships I never (and hope to never) experience. Hassan was put into a situation just because his job is to serve and protect Amir. It also showed me the ending of an amazing friendship. Therefore, because of Amir’s cowardliness and selfishness, his relationship with Hassan designagrated.…

    Amir Betrays Hassan Betrayal

    He betrayed Hassan and Amir by not telling them that they are half brothers. In the end, he did not tell them that they are brothers. “And now , fifteen years after I’d buried him, I was learning that Baba had been a thief. And a thief of the worst kind, because the things he’d stolen had been sacred: from me the right to know I had a brother, from Hassan his identity, and from Ali his honor”(Hosseini 225). It was Rahim Khan who told Amir after Baba and Hassan had already died. Amir could not believe it because Baba went against what he thought was the only sin, theft. “Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft”(Hosseini 17). He stole their right to know that they are brothers which Baba always told Amir was wrong. Baba also told him that cheating was theft, and Baba stole Ali’s wife when he slept with her. “When you kill a man, you steal a life,” Baba said. “You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you lie you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness”(Hosseini 18).…

    Baba And Hassan Betrayal

    The theme of betrayal is prominent through the lies told by Baba and Amir and through Amir’s disloyalty to Hassan. When Amir is a child his father states, "There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft…" (17). Baba’s quote reveals that much of what happens in the novel would be considered sin. While Baba stressed that there was nothing worse than a thief, he himself robbed Hassan and Amir of the truth about their relation. Baba lied to them both their entire lives and Amir only learned that Hassan was his brother after Baba and Hassan were both dead. It reveals that Baba was not as strong on the inside as he pretended to be on the outside. While he may have wrestled bears he did not have the strength to tell the truth at risk of damaging his reputation.…

    Role and Conflict

    Amir, is the central character and is shaped both in character and intellect by power. He is privileged and wealthy, but also steeped in jealousy and cowardice. He is selfish and guilty of abhorrent behaviors. The one positive strength Amir has is his friendship with Hassan. Considered best friends this is a friendship that is generally one-sided with Hassan showing the loyalty and trust. There is an ongoing conflict for this friendship because Amir shares paternal heritage with Hassan. Hassan was born into servitude and thus Baba, the boys’ father, cannot lay claim to Hassan’s heritage. The Afghan traditions and culture pose a conflict for Baba regarding Hassan. Hassan for his part is loyal, forgiving, and an all-around pleasant person to be with. The two boys are drawn to each other naturally. Hassan is the family servant and never wavers in his loyalty to the family even with the knowledge that he should be considered part of it. At the same time, Baba struggles with his own morals and the rigid Afghani traditions. He is proud and determined but also emotionally detached from Amir. Amir feels the detachment deeply and constantly strives to receive Baba’s affection.…

    Parallelism In The Kite Runner

    In the corner of the alley, when Amir sees the older boys surrounding Hassan, he is very nervous. He “doesn’t breath out”, “exhales slowly”, “feels paralyzed”, “just watched”, ”bites the fist”, and “runs” (Hosseini 77). This shows his cowardice as a young child, but it also signifies his low depth of loyalty for his friend. Amir does everything he can to earn Baba’s love, and it blinds him of his and Hassan’s brotherhood. Thirty years later, Rahim Khan tells Amir “there is a way to be good again” (Hosseini 226). He tells Amir to rescue Sohrab from Afghanistan to mend the cycle of sins that Amir’s family committed to Hassan’s family. Amir’s decision to find Sohrab is the first real step he takes to atone his past. The decision he made will impact Sohrab’s life forever, so it shows that Amir is willing to think of someone other then himself. Since the setting is in Afghanistan, where it is very deadly and violent, Amir’s decisions can be seen as very brave. Amir also developed because he chooses his instant thought rather than the choice he comes up with after thinking for a long time about it. Running away at the alley was a decision based on long thinking, and Amir has regretted for his whole year. Finally, his decision proves that he is loyal to Hassan, even though he showed it at the last chance…

    Amir is sensitive and intelligent, but also insecure about the relationship with his father and gets jealous when other people receive more time and attention from Baba than he does. When Baba took Amir and Hassan to the store to buy a kite, Amir got angry when Baba bought one for Hassan too (Hosseni 109). Even though it was only a kite, Amir still became selfish and jealous. This shows the jealousy Amir feels when Baba gives attention to anyone but…

    The Kite Runner Compare And Contrast Amir And Hassan

    In "The Kite Runner" Amir and Hassan are two completely different people but are friends. Hassan is a Hazara which makes him of lower class than Amir. During the confrontation between Assef, Amir, and Hassan, Assef said " How can you call him your friend" (Khaled 41). He then went on saying how if Amir and his father didn't take in people like Hassan they would be rid of them.(Khaled 41) This questions Amir's and Hassan's friendship and how Amir only uses Hassan to his own benefit. While on the other hand Hassan cares and looks up to Amir. Another contrast of Amir and Hassan would be their faith and education. Amir is well educated and religious. While Hassan is uneducated and not as religious but, Hassan has excellent morals. Amir would…
