Amir's Change``

I feel ashamed to complain this assignment is sort of the definition for the word ‘tough’ to me, because it is so long and takes more than couple hours to read it. To be honest, I just get through these chapters in a few hours. And I merely jot down some notes form it. I just can’t squeeze some time to plough through. But, I was really enjoy this book, and totally absorbed in, also I take a lot of interest in the story and plots.


Well, about the questions, with no doubt, since Amir left to Palestine and Afghanistan, he sure is change from the past when he was a child and his characters, behaviors as well as the way thinking are the way different form when he was a child, although when he got the message that he needs to go to Kabul to rescue Sohrab, he was hesitated and reluctant. “Rahim Khan, you can’t be serious.” “Children are fragile, Amir jan. Kabul is already full of broken children and 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.” According to Page 220,221. And these shows Amir still is a irresponsible, even a coward.


Nevertheless, it is not hard to find his changing obviously. Say, the childish, selfish, and immature Amir was long gone, he knows as well realizes something he never give a though when he was the younger one. In chapter nineteen, page 237-238, shows Amir’s change to more like a true man, mature and responsible. Also, Baba and Hassan were pasted away, no one can protect and take care of him anymore, he had to force himself to be a new man to live by own, be independent and brave. I would like to say, he is different right now. One more thing, surprisingly enough, the life he has in the Palestine and Afghanistan often make him think about Hassan from time to time, seems he regrets and felt guilty about the things he did to Hassan, also he started to know and appreciated what Hassan done things to him. In short, I will say he has changed significantly.
