Anna's Assignment# 7

Adult Amir vs. Child Amir
In order to chapters 15-19 I understood that Amir behavior was really changed compare to when he was a child. In some cases he still behave like a child because I believe there is some behavior in most the people that they grow with them and getting rid of them is so hard. Like when children grow with feel of jealousy he/she will have this feel for whole of his/her life unless people want to change their manner. As I read the text I figure out Amir still has not good feeling about Hassan or feel of missing him, because when he saw Rahim Khan he didn’t ask about Hassan and what he is doing ,he waits until Rahim Khan start talking about Hassan. Also when Rahim khan asked for helping sohrab and picking him up from Kabul he wasn’t accepted, he said I have family I have good life in America, I don’t want to risk. He was still really selfish like in earlier when we read about when Assef and his friends hit Hassan, Amir stayed back and he didn’t help Hassan. In the other hand he had changed in some characteristics, such as generousness, like when he was in driver's house and he tough the children like his watch he gave them the watch, his own watch as a gift which he didn’t do that before. Also when he was about to leave there house he leave some money under the mattress for helping them. Actually he did this many years ago but this time for assisting them not for accusation to robbery.

  1. Good observations! You can definitely see how he is more generous as an adult than he was as a child, but how many of his feelings are still the same.
