Chapter 18

(thank you to who ever answered these questions, but I was the one who was supposed to complete this chapter, so I will just paste my answers at the bottom of your post. -Meghan)
170. How he never missed a birthday and how he got hassans lip fixed.
171.That he had a brother.
172.To purify themselfs and to show that he did care about his life and the kives of others.
173.He decides to go because, hassan loved him and there was a part of him left in Kabul and Amir wanted a chance to fix the past.

IDK who was supposed to do this chapter but i had it done and it was missing on here so i just decide to do it.


170: Amir resurrects the memories of how much Baba cared for Hassan. These included when he paid to get Hassan’s harelip fixed, Baba never missing Hassan’s birthday, how Baba had told Amir they would never get new servants, and how Babe wept when Hassan and Ali announced they were leaving. These had been the signs in front of Amir showing that Baba was Hassan’s father that he had never noticed. After finding out that Baba was Hassan’s father he realized these signs he hadn’t known about at the time.
171: When Amir was very young, Baba had explained to Amir that “There is only one sin. And that is theft, when you tell a lie; you steal someone’s right to the truth.” Since Baba lied about Hassan being his true son, Amir feels he was robbed of the truth. And that Baba was a hypocrite when he told Amir not to lie and not to steal the truth from that person. Baba was a liar, therefore: he was a thief.
172: Both Baba and Amir had both betrayed the people who cared most about them. Rahim Khan had called Amir to come to atone the sins towards the family of Ali and Hassan. Amir has the chance to save Sohrab, Hassan’s son, and make things up for the betrayal his father and he had committed.
173: Amir decides to find Sohrab and save him from the orphanage. He realized that a little part of Hassan, the one person who loved him completely, was in Kabul. He will atone the sins of his father and himself and save the little piece of his brother.
