Adult vs. Child Amir

It is still a perplexed thing for Amir to change him totally, but he did change his characteristic a little bit. In chapter 14 when Amir was told to go back to Pakistan, he felt like he was facing a dilemma---he is afraid of facing his past life, especially afraid of remembering something related to Hassan. However, at last Amir decided to go back to Pakistan to see Rahim Khan, which shows that he became more brave and mature than before. And then, when Rahim Khan told him Hassan and Hassan’s wife lived with him for a while and other things associated with Hassan, Amir could not face this fact---the fact that Hassan had died and the fact Hassan was Baba’s bastard. The reason why Hassan could not accept that Hassan was Baba’s bastard is because of his jealous--- from child Amir to Adult Amir, he never change his jealous emotion. “All of you, you bunch of lying goddamn bastards!” (Chapter 17, Page 222) Amir felt unbelievable and angry when he knew that Hassan was a bastard of Baba. Also, Amir is still selfish---“ I can not go to Kabul, I has said to Rahim Khan. I have a wife in America, a home, a career, and a family.” (Chapter 18, Page 226) In fact, Amir did not change a lot, he still has similar personality as he was a child.
