    Who Is Amir's Redemption In The Kite Runner

    Amir talks to his father-in-law to figure out any ways they can get custody of Sohrab without Sohrab parents death certificate. The general finds a way and let Amir know so Amir tells Sohrab, but Sohrab does not look or seem to be excited. Amir buys a kite for Sohrab and two get into a battle with another kite and win. Amir goes to run to catch the kite and says (in the text), “For you, a thousand times over.” With Amir saying he would do any and everything for Sohrab in the quote made Sohrab smile knowing someone cares about him even with his parents gone. With Amir going to run the kite for Sohrab he says to Sohrab the last words Hassan said to him before Hassan was raped, but despite the fact that those were the circumstances the last time these words appeared in the book, the hopeful tone suggests Amir has paid his price and found his redemption with justice in rescuing his…

    Compare And Contrast Taheri And Baba

    He has to find the way to earn forgiveness for himself and gain back some of his respect as a human being. He has too choose whether to continue being a coward like he was in the alley or stand up and take responsibility for his betrayal. In the second quote Hassan gives another example of hiss undying loyalty towards Amir and their relationship as more of brothers than master and servant. Amir does not give the same amount of respect or trust to Hassan even though Amir repeatedly betrays Hassan and breaks their relationship. He lives in his adult life reliving his mistakes towards Amir in his old homeland and had wished he wasn’t such a coward and stood beside Hassan as he did for…

    Amir's Selfishness In The Kite Runner

    Hassan used to be a painful memory for Amir, because Amir's selfishness had led to their friendship ending. When Amir saves Sohrab in ways which he had wished that he had saved Hassan. Amir can now look back at Hassan, happily. "Then I blinked and, for just a moment, the hands holding the spool were the chipped-nailed, calloused hands of a harelipped boy..... "For you, a thousand times over," I heard myself say. Then I turned and ran. .......Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting." (Hosseini, 2003, p322-324). The metaphor of "the first flake melting" refers to Amir's redemption beginning, as he renews Sohrab's life and restores his own. Amir was running from his past in Afghanistan with Hassan for years, but when Sohrab entered his life, Amir was able to turn his life back into what it had once been. Since Sohrab is virtually Hassan to Amir, Amir can be with his best friend again. Amir's redemption is complete and he can continue with his…

    Amir's Relationship With His Father Quotes Analysis

    He stood there and watched as his friend didn't give up his kite and got raped instead because he was being loyal to Amir. The saddest part of all this was that he ended up running away like a coward. This affected how he spent time with Hassan. He was so traumatized at what he had done that he acted as if he no longer cared for Baba’s affection. It drove him to become insomniac and wanted to simply be alone and busy all day. He spoke to Hassan in such harsh ways. He felt utterly remorse for his friend but he showed it by blocking him out and trying to never see Hassan and his father again. The author really wanted to set the mood of guilt and utter sadness. His tone was very compelling in a way that he wanted us to be upset at Amir for being such a horrible…

    Redemption In The Kite Runner

    Amir climactically achieved redemption with Hassan when he rescued Sohrab from Assef and brought him to America at the end of the narrative. Although Amir wasn’t able to prove his final loyalty to Hassan himself, he was able to prove it to Sohrab, who was suffering in a way parallel to his father. This is supported by Rahim Khan in his phone call telling Amir to come back to Afghanistan, because “There is a way to be good again.” Amir’s loyalty was tested later in the book, when the American embassy said that Sohrab couldn’t be taken to the United States with him. Amir could have just given up then and left Sohrab in Pakistan in another orphanage. However, he worked to find a way to bring Sohrab to America. When faced with troubles, Amir stayed true and loyal to Hassan, letting him achieve ultimate redemption.…
