The novel demonstrates Amir's ability to forgive himself and focuses on making things right.]]> 2017-03-27 05:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162698436 tellekia000 https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162699491 Symbolism
FoHassan was born with a cleft lip which Amir's father payed for surgery. Later on in the story Amir is badly beaten and his lip was cut down the middle almost like a harelip. Hassan's scar is all he can think about. Amir having a scar like Hassan demonstrates that he knows what true sacrifice is, doing everything for Sohrab. All his life Amir was envious of Hassan for being the person he could never be. But in the end he became just like Hassan and learned the real value of being selfless. ]]> 2017-03-27 05:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162699491 tellekia000 https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162701864 One example of irony is when Amir's father tells him that Theft is the only sin and every other sin is a variation of theft. "When you tell a lie you steal someone's right to the truth... A man who takes what's not his to take... I spit on such a man."
Its Ironic because all his life he concealed the truth from Hassan and Amir. He didn't tell them they were brothers and as he tells this to Amir he is lying to Amir and Hassan of who they really are.]]> 2017-03-27 06:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162701864 tellekia000 https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162706546 One key moment is when Hassan is about to get raped by Assef and Amir is watching and chooses to do nothing to stop it. Instead he runs away because  Assef was right, "Nothing was free in this world." Hassan was the price Amir had to pay to win his fathers love.
Another key moment is at the end of the story when Amir and Hassan's roles have switched. Amir is the one willing to do anything for Sohrab. In the begining of the story Hassan says to Amir, " For you, a thousand times over." and in the end of the story Amir tells that to Sohrab. Amir tries to find redemption through Hassan's son and decides to treat Sohrab the way Hassan treated him when they were kids.]]> 2017-03-27 06:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/162706546 tellekia000 https://padlet.com/tellekia000/j8jftob8k0id/wish/163010284 "Amir, the socially legitimate half, the half that represented the riches he had inherited and the sin-with-impurity privileges that came with them."
Amir learned his fathers greatest mistake and inherited his faults. he had to do the right thing and help Sohrab not only to redeem himself but his father as well.
"I looked at Hassan... Baba's other half... who had inherited what had been pure and noble in Baba... his true son... That last thought had brought no sting with it," Amir accept Hassan for who he is; he forgives his father for his mistakes and no longer feels envy toward Hassan.
