Adult Amir vs. Child Amir from Xinyue

During these years Amir becomes adult. His character has changed some but he still has the similar character with child Amir. The same thing between adult Amir and child Amir is that he is afraid of stand up to do anything. He doesn’t want to risk. At first he refuse to go Kabul because he has a wonderful life in America he is afraid of to lose it. Like when Hasson was treated badly by Assef he never help Hasson because he is afraid of he would get same treatment. Amir wished he didn’t get a call from Rahim Khan, he is afraid of admit all these truth. He lost the way. The difference between adult Amir and child Amir is that adult Amir admits Hasson as a brother. He said to other people Hasson is his half-brother. He found Hasson is very important person to him. When Amir was child he never said anything about relationship between them and never wanted to admit Hasson except servant. Now Amir wants to find a way to be good again, he very regrets his behavior in childhood. Although Amir didn’t want to go Kabul, he obeyed Rahim Khan’s advice to go to find Hasson’s son. He know it is right and he has responsibility to do that as a son, a brother and an uncle.

You really capture the essence of how he has changed. His willingness to accept Hassan as part of his family, and not just a servant, is HUGE!
