in my opinion, no matter who, with age grow up the thought constantly changing, but the deep of people mind will not change,people will still keep it from born to die, this is like essentiality. god created people and he give people a different character we have to keep it and we can not change it.
like Amir, when he grow up always think about Hassan, when Rahim Khan call him go back Kabul he was try looking for an excuse to refuse him,like he has wife can not leave her or something else. because he is afraid to face his past, this is his inbeing same with when he was young try to avoid his responsibility. finally he go back to kabul. why? as i say with age grow up the thought constantly changing, he grow up, he became maturate and responsible.He wanted to be held responsible. but in the end he still can not face Hassan's son and do not want to bring him take care him. why? because his inbeing! he is afraid to face his mistake.

difference or same behavior of young and old Amir

I think there are big different between child Amir and thirty eight years old Amir. First of all, Amir accepted Hassan to be a real brother. Before having a conversation with Rahim Khan, Amir was actually confused relationship with Hassan whether friend or brother; however, finally, Amir turned to make in mind right way. And also, Amir left money for other people was differences between young and old. However, he stood had a behavior like in childhood. When he heard that Hassan’s was left in somewhere behind Rahim Khan and his parents, Amir did not want to go back to bring poor Hassan’s son.

To become an adult a lot of things would change in your life but not all of it. Amir has changed because he had to leave in America as a normal person not as he knows himself. He becomes responsible about himself and his father. He had to take care of his father when he was sick. Another thing that he realized is that he his same personality as his father dose. the similar thing is that he still trying to walk away from things that he have to do it as when Rahim Khan asked him to go get Hassan’s son. He refused because he didn’t want to have any problem since he has own life and his wife witting form him back in America.

In some aspects, the adult character of Amir is similar to the child one. He's still a man "can't stand up to anything" and his first reaction is escape when faces cruel facts. For example, after Rahim Khan asked him to go to Kabul and bring Sohrab back, Amir obviously didn't want to go. That's because he wouldn't like to shoulder the responsibility which he should take. He's a coward so he couldn't stand up to it. Another example is, when he knew Hassan actually was his brother, he shouted, reviled and "stormed out of the apartment". The chain of his reactions demonstrates that in his subconsciousness, he avoided accepting the truth, especially a cruel one.
Everyone will change because they're growing up all the time, however. Amir is not an exception. When he was a child, he just felt a little guilty to Hassan, but adult Amir realized Hassan's unfortunate is because of him and also his father. Thus, his feeling is not just guiltiness but also atonement. Here are two examples from his thought. One is that "Rahim Khan had summoned me here to atone not just for my sins but for Baba's too". The another one is "How could I pack up and go back home when my actions may have cost Hassan a chance at those very same things?" That may be the biggest difference between the child and adult Amir.

Similar Aspects: No matter Amir was a child or an adult, he always felt self-condemned and sorry about making Hassan and Ali out. And the relationship between Hassan and Amir is closely. When they were children, we played together. When they met each other some years later, we talked a lot.
Different Aspects: In childhood, he just treated Hassan as a servant, even always joked Hassan for fun. When Amir was an adult, he admitted Hassan as a brother. During the talking with others, Amir said Hassan was his brother.When Amir was a child, he always thought about himself and not cared others’ feeling, but now, he started to help others. When Amir met Hassan again, Amir cared his family.

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.
