Amir and Hassan
Amir tells Sohrab that he may have to go to an orphanage when he promised Sohrab that he would never take him to one. This triggers Sohrab and causes him to try and kill himself.
Amir feels extremely guilty. After, Amir takes Sohrab to America where he can live a life of prosperity.
Amir runs the kite for Sohrab which is the "lower" position. Amir, even though he is middle aged, runs the kite for Sohrab and says "for you a thousand times over" just like how Hassan used to say to Amir.
Amir, being a coward, does not stand up for Hassan in the alley way.
Amir continues to make bad decisions and betray Hassan. Amir frames Ali and Hassan as thieves by putting money and his golden watch under Hassan's mattress. Baba forgives them, but Ali decides that he and Hassan should leave.
To redeem himself, Amir rescues Sohrab from the Taliban and adopts him. Sobrah moves to the US where Amir is living so he can live a life of prosperity.
