The Kite Runner Chapter 14-19

Through these chapter, I found a new Amir. Amir has grow up to be a man with a family, a carre and peaceful life. Through the tough life, he has became more mature raher than a little boy under the pretcct of his father.

But his selfish still lives in his heart, he thought about his own bebefit more than others', even for Hassan, a faith friend who offered his entire life for Amir. On page 221 his words shocked me:" Why me? why can't you pay someone here to go? I'll pay for it if it's a matter of money."His first instinct made me feel pity. He was reluctant to risk himself for Hassan.I thought he would be moved by Hassan's letter and started to regret about what he had done for Hassan.But he still cared about himself and betraied to Hassan's faith."I have a wife in America, a home, career and a family. Kubul is a dangerious place, you know that, and you'd have me risk everthing for...." There is a common ground between yonug Amir and adlut Amir, it's his weakness.As his descripted:"A boy who won't syand up for himself become a man who can't stand up to anything."

But finally,he went to Kabul and saved Sohrab. Just as Khan said :" There is a way to be good again." He final choose made everhting chang, including his weakness.He gained a sense of reponsebility, it was real new Amir.

  1. Jing, you capture some of the struggles of the adult Amir. However, you don't offer much support for your original statement. Also, you should use spell check before publishing your entries because spelling is a problem for you.
