Adult vs Child

Chapters 14-19 show Amir as an adult. Amir goes back home because Rahim Khan is very ill and would like to see him before he passes. Although Amir has spent so many years in the US, he is still attached to his homeland and the people that he left there. There is a drastic change in Amir's behavior once he is an adult, Amir visits Wahid on his way to find Hassan's son, and before he left he leaves a large sum of money under a mattress, this is a kind gesture as Wahid's family treated him with so much respect and kindness when he visited them, Amir knew that the family did not have much but where still able to sacrifice the little they had in order to make him comfortable for the night. (chapter 19, pg 242). Amir also shows the way in which he has changed when Wahid asks him who the person in the picure is, Amir says that Hassan is his half brother(chaper 19 pg 237), which is totally opposite to how he was one he was a child, when he was younger he was embarrassed of Hassan and often felt as though he was inferior to him. Amir has changed a great deal and he really has matured and has a warmer heart now that he is an adult and is dealing with his sins and doing something positive. I personally like the "older" Amir.
