Zaman explained his behavior by saying, "I haven't beenpaid in over six months. I'm broke because I've spent my

life's savings on this orphanage. Everything I ever owned or inherited I sold to run this godforsaken

place. So his behavior is justified by him being frustrated because he had no money.

NOT A CLEAR JUSTIFICATION.
Zaman dropped his hands...judging to allah" In this quote you can see Zamans explanation on why its justifiable. He talks about not being paid and his downfalls.

Zaman's behavior, and reason for selling the kids, is justified because of the nature of the situation.  He had to sell the kids because he wasn't getting paid.  Even if he was being paid and refused to sell a child, the Taliban  would forcefully take 10 children, putting Zaman in a position where he had no choice but to prioritize the welfare of the majority.  "I’ve spent my life’s savings on this orphanage.  Everything I ever owned or inherited I sold to run this godforsaken place... If I deny him one child he takes ten."
(Hosseini 257).

Zaman's behavior is justified because he sacrifices one child to save way more. He feels as if he is doing more good than bad because he is ultimately saving more children than he is sacrificing. "If I deny one child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah." He saves more children than he doesn't by sacrificing one

"He pointed to the door. 'If i deny him one child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah...'" (257). His behavior is justified because if Zaman were to fight the Taliban's request, they would take even more children which is worse than taking one child.

"As the truck pulled away, I saw Zaman in the side view mirror, standing in the doorway. A group of children surrounded him, clutching the hem of his loose shirt. I saw he had put on his broken glasses." I chose this quote to answer the first question because it clearly shows why Zaman does what he does. He was selling children only because of the money. The quote was talking about his "broken glasses" and "loose shirt", things a person with not much wealth would typically own. Does he want to be doing this? Probably not. But the world is a strange place, and in this novel, Hosseini gives a clear example of that through Zaman's behavior regardless of him only being in on it for the money.

When Zaman asked Amir how bad he wants to find his nephew, Amir thought about him and Hassan's experience with street fighting when they were younger. "I realized something: I would not leave Afghanistan without finding Sohrab." Amir says that Hassan use to take them on for him. By Hassan always sticking up for him, finding his Sohrab is the least he can do for Hassan and himself.

Zaman while attempting to justify his actions, says, "I could have run like everyone else. But I didn’t. I stayed. I stayed because of them.’ He pointed to the door. ‘If I deny him one child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah. I swallow my pride and take his 🤬 filthy … dirty money. Then I go to the bazaar and buy food for the children.’" (257). Zaman doesn't sell children for the money, he does it because he is forced to. He doesn't use the money for personal gain, he uses it to buy more food for the other orphans. Here, he reveals to Amir, that the situation isn't as black and white as he thought.

Zaman´s behavior of allowing children to be taken by a member of the Taliban. The first justification is clear. ¨If i deny him one child, he takes ten¨(Hosseini 257). For starters Zaman shows clearly why he must allow this. If he were to deny the member of the taliban a child, then not only would one child suffer the consequence, but so would others. The sacrifice of one child, saves the lives of others. In addition Zaman justifies his actions by the money he receives. ¨He visits once every month or two. He brings cash with¨(Hosseini 255). The member of the Taliban who visits brings money for Zaman. Zaman is very poor which directly affects the living situation of the children because he provides for them. Zaman is not being selfish; however, because he uses this money to buy supplies for the kids. If he does not take the money, he will be responsible for many starving children.

"If I deny him one child,he takes ten.So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah.I swallow my pride and take his 🤬 filthy...dirty money.Then I go to the Bazaar and buy food for the children"(Hosseini 257).Zaman's behavior is justified by feeding the children with the taliban money.He feels like he still care for those kids even though many are being taken.He cares for the kids and doesn't believe he can save them all.He tries his best to take care of them even though it may not be the best decision to others.

"If I deny him one child, he takes ten....Then I go to the bazaar and buy food for the children."

Although it's a very sad reality, Zaman is doing the best he can for the sake of the entire orphanage and not just one child. He would want them all to be safe, but the Talib will forcefully take more children which would be an ultimately worse outcome. So, I believe Zaman's actions to be justified, because he is taking the lesser of two evils and continuing to support the remaining children.

Zaman's behavior is justified because that is the only source of income he can get. "I haven't been paid in over six months. I'm broke because I spent my life's savings on this godforsaken place. "(Hosseini 257).  Zaman lets them take children because that is the only way to keep the orphanage afloat. If he doesn't allow them to take the children it may cause the worst to happen.

in chapter 20 Zaman explains to Amir and Khalib that he has been selling children to Taliban officials and even though it is a horrific act he does it to keep the other children safe. he doesn't want to sell the children but refusal to do so could result in the unnecessary loss of the other children as well. "if I deny him one child he takes ten. so I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah." he also uses the money gained from selling the children to feed the ones left. even with such a tragedy happening he still does his best to care for the children with the limited resources he has.

"If I deny him one child, he takes ten...Then I go to the bazaar and buy food for the children." (257)

In this quote Zaman is explaining to Amir And Farid why he has no choice but to give a child to the Talib when he asks in exchanged for money. Zaman doesn't get paid regularly, therefore he doesn't have a sufficient amount of food and resources for the many children in the orphanage. Because the orphanage is filled past capacity, he and the children are struggling to get by. In order to protect the majority of the kids he allows the official to take only one kid for money that he can use to help the rest of the kids, rather than endangering a larger group and still struggling to feed the children. Zaman's behavior is justified in a sense that neither of his options are ideal but one option harms more children. It's a moral choice in which many other parents in kabul may have to face tough choices similar to these due to the poverty and the power of the Taliban.

"'I haven't been paid in over six months. I'm broke because I've spent my life's savings on this orphanage....If I deny him one child, he takes ten....I swallow my pride and take his 🤬 filthy...dirty money"(257). Zaman makes very little money and he believes he is justified because it is the only way he makes money. Also if he doesn't let them take one child, they take ten, so he believes he has no choice.

I think Zaman's behavior is justified to an extent but it still does not mean it is right or acceptable. He gives one child away to keep  the other children safe he sacrifices one to save the many. "If i deny him one child he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah. I swallow my pride and take his 🤬... filthy money. Then I go to the Bazaar and buy food for the children". He sacrifices one child so he can protect and feed the rest of the kids. In my mind this is justifiable but it makes him "evil" which I think he believes he needs to be to protect the kids.

Zamans behavior is justified by making money for the children to eat "what choice do i have? Zaman shot back..... There's npthing I can do to stop it"(256). and also just helping out Amir get closer to finding his nephew. "He took Sohrab a month ago, Go to Ghazi Stadium tomorrow. You'll see him at halftime."(257)

Zaman's behavior is justified through the protection of many children for the sacrifice of 1. On page 257 it states, "... If I deny him one child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah." Zaman could no way stop this monstrosity all on his own so he does his very best to save many lives rather then take them away. He knows Allah will punish the man doing evil, but he is still one man. There isn't much he can do, but he still tries.

the actions amir takes to show he's determined to find Sohrab are going back to Kabul in the first place. Also the way amir and farid search hard for him while in Kabul,  amir admitting to be his uncle while trying to find him are actions he takes. He wants to find Sohrab because he wants to be there for him because he wasn't there for Hassan, thats demonstrated in this quote from page 252 " Look, i knew Sohrab's father. I said. His name was Hassan. His mother's name was Farzana. He called his grandmother Sasa. He knows how to read and write And he's good with a slingshot. Theres hope for this boy, Agha, a way out. Please open the door" Amir thinks back to Hassan while trying to save his son, and this shows how badly Amir wants to save Sohrab because he wasn't able to save Hassan all those years ago.

"'I haven't been paid in over six months. I'm broke because I've spent my life's savings on this orphanage. Everything I ever owned or inherited I sold to run this godforsaken place. You think I don't have family in Pakistan and Iran? I could have run like everyone else. But I didn't. I stayed. I stayed because of them. He pointed to the door. 'If I deny him one child, he takes ten. So I let him take one and leave the judging to Allah. I swallow my pride and take his 🤬 filthy...dirty money. Then I go to bazaar and buy food for the children,'" (257). This quote shows why Zaman does what he did, which was give a child a way to the the Taliban official. He explains that he does it because he does not have a choice and there will be more negative/violent consequences if he does not comply. He also explains that he does not feel good about it, but it does it to support the orphanage that he was brave enough to keep open. He mentions that he stayed, instead of running like lots of other people did (including Amir). So, I guess that his actions are justified because he is ultimately doing it in favor of the kids ;and doing it to support them as best he can. Do I think it is a terrible/disgusting thing, yes, but he ultimately had no choice.

Zaman goes on about how this was the only way to get money to feed the children. If he didn't give him the kid, then he would be putting more kids in danger than just one of them. In the text it says, "As the truck pulled away, I saw Zaman in the side-view mirror, standing in the doorway. A group of children surrounded him, clutching the hem of his shirt. I saw he had put on his broken glasses." This shows that he was in danger giving up the child because his glasses are broken but the children seem to be more than grateful for them not being in "danger" anymore.

Zaman's behavior can be justified because if he does not allow a the official to take the child, more harm can be done to the other children or him. If something happens to him, the kids will have no one. Zaman tells them, "If I deny him one child, he takes ten...I swallow my pride and take his 🤬 filthy money...Then I go to the bazaar and buy food for the children" (257). He describes that he does everything for the children. He allows this to happen because interfering will make things worse and he poured everything he had into providing for them.

"I haven't been paid in over six months. I'm broke because I've spent my life's saving on this orphanage." Zaman believes that his actions are justified because the money he gets from allowing  the Talib official to take a child allows him to further help the other kids. Regardless, Zaman can't really stop him, "If I deny him one child, he takes ten."
