Chapter 15

140. Peshawar reminds Amir of a "busier, more crowded version of Kabul." Most of the Afghanis that could escape came to Peshawar.
141.Rahim Khan has become very frail and sickly. He lives in a small apartment that doesn't compare to the lavish luxuries of his past.
142. Rahim Khan doesn't remember ever giving Amir the notebook he wrote stories in. This is surprising because it was Amir's favorite present that year and it was very special to him and Rahim Khan knew that.
143. Rahim Khan went to a soccer game and the man next to him cheered when Kabul scored, and a soldier struck him on the forehead. The changes in Afghanistan were extreme and cruel. You had no freedoms and could be punished and injured for any misdemeanor.
144. The Northern Alliance completely split Kabul. If you crossed between territories you risked getting shot.
145. Rahim Khan danced when the Taliban got there because he thought they would be their savior and end the constant fighting.
146. The orphanage was destroyed by the Taliban. This means that they really didn't care what they destroyed, as long as they destroyed it. They killed children for no reason and were completely content with themselves for it.
147. Rahim Khan and the rest of Afghanistan were excited when the Taliban got there. Even though the Taliban were dangerous, they were better than the Northern Alliance.
148.Rahim Khan is dying. He doesn't believe he has the rest of the summer to live. He coughs up a lot of blood on his handkerchief.
149. Amir tries to get Rahim Khan to  come back to America so he can see a good doctor. He is optimistic and thinks Rahim Khan will survive. But all of the Afghans still in their homeland have lost all hope for themselves and their country.
150. Amir learns that Hassan lived with Rahim Khan in Baba's old home.
