Child and adult Amir

Since time passes, it changes some part of the personality of Amir and they mainly are affected by his kind wife and the education and also the actual behavior done by his father, a real man. As a result, Amir becomes more mature and sometimes reflects his past. When he knew from Rahim Khan that Hassan is indeed his brother but born from different mother, he began to understand what Baba had done to Hassan was not excessive at all because Hassan was not a servant. He is also Baba’s son, the master of the house. No doubt that Baba would never miss either of his birthdays and treated him so well, which always made Amir really envious and wanted to drive Hassan and Ali out of the house, which made Baba quite angry, although Hassan is always honest to Amir and did nothing wrong. Besides, Amir always teased Hassan. All these past things make Amir ashamed and regretful now so he decided to make up for it and makes his trip to find his son and creates a better life for him. Amir begins to understand the duty for a brother, a friend and also a father.
On the other hand, there is also something that never changes since he was a young boy. It was his dream and hobby – writing. He takes English courses at university and takes on writer as a job. He has already published four books and it is the beginning of his success.

Adult vs Child Amir

The main content throughout chapter 14~19 revealed the psychological reformation of Amir via the trip to his homeland in Afghanistan. The certain changes for his personality could easily identified as his life pattern changed significantly after his immigration to the states and the absolute effects of adulthood and career.

Amir's change is not dramatic but gradual. In my opinion, Amir's failure of aiding his friend Hassan in that incident was due to the fact of fears that ordinary children all held in the early years. Although most people put doubts of friendship between them up to this point, there could still be ways to resurrect the seemingly broken relationship between the two: " there is a way to be good again" indicates the voluntary expectation for help from Amir's close ones. Such an invitation left a chance for Amir to make up for his former childhood mistakes, encouraged him to face and get over with his regrets deeply inside his heart. If Amir was born to be coward and selfish, he could not agree to leave his comfort life and head to the turmoil of afghanistan.

Only immature views stick to Amir's childhood mistake. after all, the novel is about salvation and value of friendship through the ups and downs of one's life, not revenging or being revenged.

the changing of Amir

After I finished reading from chapter 14 to 19, I feel the changing of Amir, even though he contended with his thoughts a lot. When he arrived in Pakistan and called on Baba's friend Rahim Khan, he told something about Hassan and let him to look for Hassan's son and look after him. In page 226, "I can't go to Kabul, I had said to Rahim Khan. I have a wife in America, a home, a career, and a family. But how could I pack up and go back when my action may have cost. Hassan a chance at those very same things." At that time, he was in hesitation. This chapter shows the weakness and egoism of Amir, it seems like the preview Amir is coming back. In page 227, we can find the changing of Amir's thougt. "It looked at the round of face in the Polaroid again, the way the sun fell on it. My brother's face. Hassan had loved me once, loved me in away that no one ever had or ever would again. He was gone now, but a little part of him lived on. It was in Kabul." Then he told Rahim Khan that he would go to Kabul. From this, we can know how he changed since his childhoos. Some people assert that he is still selfish. To a rich and protected Amire when he was in childhood, his essential character is selfishness. He already changed a lot. We should find the changing from it.

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.

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.
