I noticed many things Anike wrote about like the unforced parallelism between the two father and sons. I really enjoyed the book because although fictional, it was still believable despite the overwhelming circumstances Amir and those around him must face. Amir left Afghanistan neither a man, not fully resolute with his past. His return to home was like a rebirth. The dynamic estrangements pointed are are interesting and I agree that those are the two most moving moments of the book. Even though separated by time, both concerned Amir’s betraying Hassan in a way. First Hassan himself, then his son. Amir doing things right for Sohrab was a way for him to make everything in his life right. At the beginning of the book Amir was extremely selfish and Hassan did much more for Amir than Amir would ever consider doing for Hassan. Even though Hassan was gone, Amir grew into the type of person who would do anything for Hassan as well.
The evils in this book were beyond devastating. The comment about how war affects more people then just in the newspaper is extremely true. Even though Amir managed to physically get away from the war, the chaos in his country extended into the chaos of his life even all the way on the other side of the world. Amir did not go back to fight the war physically in his country, but he was fighting an emotional war for himself. The feelings that resonates after this book are extremely powerful and I do think the messages portrayed would stick with anyone for a long time.
