Amir’s soul wasn’t growing with age growing until he decided to go Kabul to take Sohrab. I think Amir was still a child because he was such a selfish and cowardly person as he used be. He cannot face to Hassan even beg for forgiveness after hesitating for 20 years and Hassan probably knew the truth. Hassan, a loyal friend, against Taliban not for his wife Sanaubar but Amir and finally died for him. He knew but still making excuses when Rahim Khan asked him to go to Afghanistan at the beginning. Amir was not as brave as his father, he was afraid of death. However, Amir made a decision after he accept the fact that Hassan and him were brothers. Our little boy grew and became an adult! He was not concealing the secrets to others as he always did. He told people that Hassan was his half-brother directly without any covers. (page 237). He was coming to save Sohrab, a little part of Hassan, from this death place, Afghanistan and no matter what he was not going to give up. He is a real man now. Thus, Wahid praised him as an honorable man and a true afghan. To be honest, I really surprised the growth of Amir, and the story touched my heart. I Proud of Amir and admired his determination.

I strongly agree with your idea.He was very different from his father, so that it is natural he hesitated to go to Afganistan but now Amir is like Baba and try to save Hassan's son. In addition, he is very kind to leave money at Wahid's home without saying anything.
