Hitomi assignment#7

As a similar character of Amir, he is still devious and coward. He has looked for the way he can make atonement for his guilt in his childfood. And when Rahim Khan asked Amir to go to Kabul to find Hassan's son, he found it. But he rejected Rahim's offer with some pretexts, like "I have a wife in America, a home, a career, and a family." He knew what he had to do then but he hesitated. He was afraid to take the responsibility in exchange for his life in America.
However, if he didn't change at all, he would evade going to Kabul. He finally made up his mind to go there because he was aware that he was old enough to take an action. He decided to do his own 'fighting' for his brother. I think this point especially showed Amir's change. Also, I found out that Amir became to respect others. He showed his respect at some points and he was more considerate then his childfood. He was egotistic and didn't consider of other's feeling when he was a child.

  1. Good job! I wish you would be a little more specific in showing how he came to respect others and show more consideration. You could back this up and make it much more powerful with an example from the text - for instance, putting the money under the mattress, or giving the watch to the young boys.
