How has Amir grown? en-us 2017-01-16 22:48:13 UTC 2017-01-17 17:47:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616381 Farid is telling Amir to forget the childhood he had and the way he he had done all of those things. For Amir to say he doesn't want to forget anymore, he's grown substantially. Amir used to never speak or think about his problems. He would push it all away to save him some pain. He realizes now, that he has to remember in order to deal with it all to get past these issues. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616381 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616563 Farid tells Amir to forget everything because it's no longer the same, and everything is damaged. Amir says he wants to stop forgetting. Amir has always tried to escape from his problems, but he's finally realizing he has to face his problems head on rather than try to run from them.]]> 2017-01-17 17:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616563 66481 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616610 Farid tells Amir to forget his past because everything he has known about from his childhood has changed. Farid wants Amir to accept the fact that he wont have his old life in Afghanistan back so they can focus on what they should be doing now. Amir is no longer a weak person that has nothing to stand up for. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616610 12822 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616633 He says forget all the memories and the times he had there. They will just hold him back and keep him from moving on. Its not worth all the pain Amir is having right now when he is in the midst of his life. Amir has grown mentally in astonishing ways, he has become stronger. It takes guts to go back to the place where you grew up at only to see it destroyed. And even more guts to set up a meeting with the Taliban official only to understand that this may get you killed one way or another.]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616633 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616666 Farid tells Amir to forget everything because nothing is the same. He says this because why would you think about something that causes you pain. This also means that he's never going to get the old life back. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616666 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616705 Farid tells Amir forget everything because it's no longer the same and never will be the same again. Everything is damaged and people he was close with are gone. Farid has been there and done that. He wants to save Amir the trouble and heartache. He doesn't want to see Amir hurting anymore. Amir used to never talk about his problems. Now, he realizes that he has to face his problems head on. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616705 249 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616771 Farid tells Amir to forget it because it won't ever be the same. This shows how Amir has grown because it's what he did. Amir moved on with his life (his life in America) and decided it was easier to leave his past life and his past wrongs behind him. Now that Amir is back, he had to face what he fought hard to forget and Farid realizes that it has impacted him too and he sees he doesn't want to forget anymore.]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616771 2837 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616851 Farid tells Amir to just forget everything because it makes it easier to move on that way. He wants Amir to forget his childhood and all the bad things that happened. Amir has always tried to find ways around his problems and now he has to face them. Amir can't deal with his own problems so its best for him to forget they ever existed. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616851 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616870 Farid tells Amir to forget for multiple reasons. One reason is because it seems like through out the story memories have weighed Amir down such as Hassan's beating in the alley. Then secondly, he tells him to forget is because he wants Amir to move forward or "start a new life". He tells him this because Amir partly came back to Afghanistan to see it and has not liked what he has saw. This was just the "icing on the cake" for all of Amir's problems I guess you could say.]]> 2017-01-17 17:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147616870 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617085 Farid tells Amir to forget it so that it's easier to go on. I think Farid realizes that when Amir continues to remember, it weighs Amir down. Amir says he doesn't want to forget anymore, which shows that his character has changed because he wants to stop forgetting. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617085 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617087 Farid tells Amir to forget about his past because everything has changed. He wants him to forget everything that happened because it will be easier to move on if he doesn't remember. Amir has grown because he wants to stop forgetting and start learning about his past. He doesn't want to keep forgetting everything anymore.]]> 2017-01-17 17:37:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617087 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617159 Farid told Amir to forget everything that happened in Afghanistan and his house because it makes it easier to let go of the feelings and memories that Amir had there. This would make it easier to let go of all the pain that Amir has grown with since he left Afghanistan. Since he has grown up with so much pain, it just exploded out whenever  he came back to his homeland.  He's matured much faster than most because of what he had done, so when he saw his old house, it was bittersweet. Because of the fact that it reminded him so much of what he had done, yet it was it also looked completely foreign to him.]]> 2017-01-17 17:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617159 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617420 When Farid told Amir to forget ]]> 2017-01-17 17:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617420 3544 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617522 Everything has changed and nothing will ever go back to the way it used to be, the place Amir used to know was plagued by the bad. Amir needs to move onto greater things and ignore the bad.]]> 2017-01-17 17:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617522 100853 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617576 Farid tells Amir to forget all that he came from and move on. Amir just kept looking back at everything and it was upsetting him. Farid was just looking out for him by telling him to forget it so there is less pain for Amir to deal with and wants him to move on. He has grown by forgetting about what he had done to Hassan. Ignoring it all has helped him by not letting it hold him down. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147617576 https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147618051 Farid tells Amir to just forget it all. Farid says that it is easier to go on and that everything that Amir Remembered has not survived.

Amir has grown to be a more honest and compassionate person. He has changed because he has seen how much others have suffered and his country has fallen. ]]> 2017-01-17 17:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dfox3/vi5wn6fe7lep/wish/147619352
