1. Forgiveness is a very important thing and the only way to only way to complete forgiveness is when one forgives oneself, and that will only occur when one has truly attempted to atone for the mistakes that one has made.

Evidence: In Rahim Khan's letter to Amir he asks for his frogiveness and say's he knows god will forgive him. He knows that it is God who readily forgives those who ask for forgiveness, but it is people who have a hard time forgiving

I think the the biggest thing I learned from reading this book is the idea of facing your past. In this book Amir , the main character, does something during his childhood to his friend and he regrets for the rest of his life. Every time he sees something that reminds him of his friend he feels guilty and it haunts him. To go along with that is the idea of betrayal. Btrayal is active through out the whole book. It starts when Amir betrays his friend. We learn that betrayal is a very serious thing that can effect you for a long time.
