Adult Vs. Child Amir

Through chapter 14 to 19, compared with the adult amir and the child amir, there is a lot of change happened on him and also some character like when he used to be.
When he receive the call from Rahim Khan, amir was so worried about him then he decided to get him in Pakistan, and during the time he was in Pakistan and Afghanistan,we can find some differences and similar charactor on him, and what was the similar is that amir is still cowardly and weak like before, when he heard that Rahim Khan wants him to get hassan's son in Kabul, he refused so determined, just because that he was afraid of death and the danger there, from page 220, "Rhaim Khan, I don't want to go to Kabul. I can't!" "Why me? Why can't you pay someone here to go? I'll pay for it if it's a matter of money." these sentences are all good proof to support me. And this is the bad character what he used to be, but he also kept a good character which is kind. When he found that Wahid provided amir goods to eat and made his family had nothing to eat, he left some money for him. From page 242, " I did something I had done twenty-six years earlier: I plantes a fistful of crumpled money under a mattress." did I get the message.
Now let's see the different he became, when he known that hassan is his brother and found it is the only chance to be a good man and compensated hassan, he made up his mind to go to Kabul to get hassan's son even there may be dangerous. I am proud of amir, that moument he was brave.
After all, in my opinion, amir has became better than before, even he is still cowardly but who has no weak point?
