Hitomi assignment#8

I agree that Amir and Assef got what they deserved. Amir had felt guilty since he had the incident. He couldn't forget the scene that Hassan's blood dropped from the seat of his pants. Therefore, when he had a fight with Assef and his body was broken, he said that he felt healed. He even said that he had been looking forward to it. He felt like he made amends for Hassan by fighting for his son. For Assef, he despised Hazara when he was a child, and did bad things to them actually. Even though he grew up, he killed many people. Finally, he lost his left eye by Hassan's son. Amir also had his upper lip cut like Hassan's harelip. Even though I don't believe in God, it's like God gave panishment to them for what they did in thier childfood. Amir felt like what he did was as bad as what Assef did. Therefore, he felt like they got what they deserved when both he and Assef got seriously injured.

You can see that Hosseini is trying to show the reader the idea that you must pay for your past sins to earn redemption. Or at least, that Amir believes this.
