We begin to understand early in the novel that Amir is constantly vying for Baba 's attention and often feels like an outsider in his father 's life, as seen in the following passage: "He 'd close the door, leave me to wonder why it was always grown-ups time with him.

    This came about when Baba’s darkest secret was revealed by Rahim Khan. The secret was that Baba had slept with Ali’s wife Sanaubar and impregnated her, making Hassan his child. Amir went through a series of mixed emotions at this revelation. Initially the news made Amir furious. He thought of his father as a hypocrite due to all of the lessons he had thought him in his past. Baba once told Amir, ‘There is only one sin – ‘and that is theft…When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth.’ (Pg.225) Due to this lesson, Amir couldn’t help but think that Baba’s theft was the worst kind of stealing, since “the things he’d stolen had been sacred: from me the right to know I had a brother, from Hassan his identity, and from Ali his honor.” (Pg.225). As Amir reflected on his father’s deception and betrayal, he started to see himself in a similar way. Amir realized that his father was more like him than he ever knew and this is when their relationship made the final shift. He saw how much they were one and the same. His feelings towards his father finally changed. “Baba and I were more alike than I’d ever known. We had both betrayed the people who would have given their lives for us.”(Pg.226). Amir finally realizes that Baba was a man who also made mistakes and lived with regret. He recognized that the negative behaviors he had witnessed from his father, came from the struggles he had while trying to deal with the guilt and failures of the past. In the same way Amir had also suffered from the terrible things he had done. The big difference is at the end of the day Baba was a better man than Amir was, but Amir knew he had time to change this. From here on, Amir took on the task of redeeming both his and Baba’s mistakes. He agreed to go on the search for Hassan’s orphaned son Sohrab and to take care of him and raise him like he was his…

    After reading about his childhood and the life-changing events that took place during it, my initial perception of Amir was that he was selfish, even though he did not mean to be. He did not want to be so cruel, but he was a young boy, he was a bit confused, and at times jealous too. He only thought about his own suffering. His greed to overcome the pain he felt for not helping Hassan when Assef was beating him up, and the way he threw those pomegranates at Hassan, and saw the way Hassan just stood there and did nothing but inflict more pain on himself, was strong enough for him to commit one last sin and remove Hassan from his life, by slipping his new watch under Hassan’s mattress and, by claiming that Hassan stolen it, he got Ali and Hassan both removed from his house. This shows Amir’s greed.…

    From the very start of Amir’s life his relationship with his father Baba is not a very healthy one. The two of them have personalities that make them very different from one another. Baba on the one hand is more of a stereotypical “man”. On the other hand Amir has a personality that seems to be lacking something in his life and he drowns himself in his poetry and writing. This worries his father. Baba expresses these thoughts in a conversation he has with his friend, “A boy who won’t stand up for himself becomes a man who can’t stand up to anything.” (Hosseini pg. 24) By saying this Baba strongly outlines one of his great concerns with Amir. Amir recognizes that his father is ashamed of him and this causes him to be very ashamed of himself and he becomes obsessed with trying to please his father. Just like anyone else in this world Amir’s shamefulness turns him into a very reserved person and in turn, somewhat of a coward. This cowardliness ends up only causing Amir to experience more shame with events that transpire later on into the book.…

    By keeping a shameful secret from society, Baba does more harm than good to his beloved. Though he wishes only to preserve his dignity and honour, Baba’s choice to deceive the world means inflicting lasting consequences on his sons. From Amir, he steals his right to know he had a brother and instead Amir grows jealous and envious whenever Baba shows affection towards Hassan, and says “I wish he’d let me be the favourite”. He mocks and taunts his friend in his jealously and sees him as the “lamb he’d have to slay” to win Baba’s affection. Had he have known that Hassan was not “just a Hazara” no doubt he would have treated him with the trust and respect he deserved.
