So, the second blog post for us reading "The Kite Runner."
This section of the book is not nearly as bad... well... at least theres not really any explicit violence. So, to get to it...
I think that theres a lot that Amir blames himself for. He blames himself for everything that happens to Hassan, he blames himself for he and Soraya's infertility, he blames himself for the death of Baba. Hey, if given a reason, he'd blame himself for the Russians invading Afghanistan. Most of his blame roots from his actions with Hassan as little kids.
First, Hassan. Amir did so many things he regrets to Hassan. He took advantage of Hassan's illiteracy, he stood by (or, I should say, ran away) as Hassan was getting raped, he framed Hassan of stealing money so that he and Ali would get sent away... but later in the story, you find out that Hassan still cared about him as if he was his brother... even though they were brothers. Sigh... you'd think that they would have told them about their kinship.
When Soraya fails to become pregnant, and all the test show nothing wrong, Amir starts thinking. He ends up believing that his past sins are the reason it didn't work.
