Making The Wrongs RIght
The ending of this story took the novel to another level for me. It’s hard to prepare yourself for all the twist and turns that appear once Amir leaves America. I believe within these last few chapters your finally see Amir's last and final character transformation. Amir because noble like his father, he fights for someone and something be believes in, putting his life at risk for Sohrab. We see that new battles appear and unlike before when Amir ran from Aseef and ran from the problems that he had put into his and Hassan's life, he faced them. Amir knew that he couldn’t live through the guilt that his once cowardly actions caused him so this time he needed to make it right. Amir's character has gone from being very self centered to humble and courageous. Making his wrongs right and saving his only link to Hassan that he has left. Amir's love finally shines through his actions and he doesn’t let his selfishness stand in his way and we see how much he cares when Sohrab attempts to kill himself. IT was said that Amir was " .. On [his] knees, screaming. Screaming through [his] clenched teeth. Screaming until i thought [he] though [his] throat would rip out of [his] chest [and] explode. Amir had given all he has and has put all his love into making sure that he has control over what happens to sohrab. Amir knows that he can never see Hassan again and tell him how sorry he was for that one day when he saw Aseef harassing him, but he knows that somehow he can help his son and give him the gift of a future and better life. At the end of the book when we see that Amir takes Sohrab kite running and asks " do you want me to run that kite for you?" made me feel so sad and happy at the same time because the significance of him running the kite and allowing from Sohrab to fly the kite and have control used to be a hard this for Amir. And when Amir said he would take Sohrabs smile " with open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe i just witnessed the first flake melting." finally at the end of the novel we see sohrab open up to Amir and let him feel the love he so desperately needed to feel from him. Amir knows that it snot going to be a fast process but one that takes time and needs to be worked on, but the one smile showed him that spring was around the corner and that hope was not far in sight.
