As the novel is continuing to progress, we see that Amir is becoming a bigger coward. From the beginning, we could see that he was always a little bit snobby and thought that he was better than Hassan. In fact, he would even go to the length of insulting Hassan for not being able to read. This picture of Amir grew even clearer when he did not try to defend Hassan and let the neighborhood bullies sexually assault Hassan.
In this latest reading selection, Amir commits one of the most awful things that he could have done. Hassan and Ali had become family to Amir and his father. The fact that Amir would try to get rid of them by trying to frame Hassan is awful. As a person, Amir did one of the most selfish things that he could have done. You never betray someone that has always tried to do the best for you. In fact, Hassan always stuck up for Amir and even got sexually assaulted because of Amir.
These actions show one main thing: Amir is still an immature child who needs to grow up. He does not understand the value of friendship, brotherhood, and many more things. Amir needs to see the light and realize that Hassan only did what was best for Amir and Amir needs to return the favor.
