Redemption and Betrayal

Redemption of Amir

Redemption of Baba

Betrayal of Hassan

Betrayal of Amir

Facing Assef

Adopting Sohrab

Admitting Baba cheated

Mirror Incident of what should have happened back in alleyway

Giving Sohrab the life in America Amir indirectly denied to Hassan and Ali by hiding money

Admitting what Bab never could, showing that family is more important that social standing, ironic since most Afgans say that but don't follow.

Charity work was done to atone for cheating

Treating Hassan like a son, because he was

Lip Surgery

Backfires, since creates what Amir is, person so focused on Baba's attention does not try to help own brother

Repeatedly leaving him out of trips between Baba and Amir

Allowing him to be raped in alley, despite ability to stop

Framed for stealing by Amir

Hassan further proves his own loyalty and honor by taking the blame

Baba and Rahim never telling him about Hassan

Rahim lying about purpose of traveling to Pakistan, about orphanage

May have been good thing. Raises question as to whether lying can ever be the right thing to do

May have acted differently had he known it was his brother being raped

How might discrimination have contributed to Amir leaving Hassan to be raped?
