For you, a thousand times over.
Wow...already in ch.7 and im blown off my feet. Was Amir right to simply watch Hassan get raped? Would things have turned out way different if he intervened?
It's amazing what Amir does to forget what has happened. Amir tries breaking off his friendship with Hassan, provokes him at the pomegranate tree, and in the end, frames him. And Hassan still is loyal to him. What was even more shocking was that Baba was willing to forgive Hassan, even though he admitted to the framing. Which brings up a bigger question: Why would Baba forgive him? Clearly, there is something going on behind the scenes, something we're not supposed to know. And when Hassan and Ali leave, Baba cries. Isn't that too much love for servants?
Moving to a new country means new beginnings for Amir. But also means the burial of his former life, and the eventual death of Baba. Amir meets Soraya, a girl who he falls in love with, even though she has an "interesting" past. A girl he can relate to. Also, Baba becomes sick with cancer, and it's not long before he dies. Maybe his death symbolizes the new beginning and end of the past for Amir. Maybe.
