In what position did Amir stand after heading to America? Was it a mistake that later led to further situations, problems and misfortune in the story. Did Amir and his father Babba’s decisions lead to them having worse problem that they would have had in Kabul Pakistan their homeland?
Not only did the move to the United States change the lifestyle for Amir and his father Babba began to live and the work effort and sweat they gave to live, but not living well enough as compared to what they had in the beginning of the story. Babba was one of the wealthiest people in the land in Kabul. Having a big house and a lifestyle to fit the best. Once they arrived in the United States, have to work very hard in earning all the income that they would be receiving throught their life. In the United States not only did Babba have to work earning income throught the week at a liquor store. He felt that it was necessary for him to go to earn extra money to survive and live well by him and Amir, in weekends to far lands to find cheap trinkets to later sell on other weekends at a local swap meet. The life style had also changed by seeing and interacting with people that Babba was not accustomed to being with, conversing, and having moments in which they were together. An example that demonstrates this is on page 132 “I don’t care where he was born he’s Russie.” Claimed Babba
Not only was the change of locations bad for Amir but it was also bad for the people that were back in hometown Kabul. If they (Amir and his Babba) had stayed, the house in Pakistan would be occupied with people in it. If the house was occupied it would not be necessary for Rahim Khan to take care of the house. Rahim Khan felt as if he was not up to the expectations that the house needed to be take care of, so he asked Hassan to help him. Hassan, his wife and their son went to the house and lived there, until they were later attacked. Would Hassan have lived and not gone through pain if Amir and Babba had stayed?

Thoughts about, The Kite Runner
In the book, the realistic fiction novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini there are many situations and things that happens and are disturbing and make people wonder and think on how to react on what just happened. One of the most shocking and appalling things that happened in the book would have to be the situation in the book in chapter seven where the stories portrays an even of rape to which a young child by other older children.
Another even that took place moments before the rape happened between Amir the son of one of the richest people living in the area and the child of one of his servants, was where true feelings were revealed of the friendship between each other. There were other older teenage kids which were the kids were tormenting and challenging the kids. They made the feelings that Amir had aware to Hassan,“ a loyal hazara. Loyal as a dog.” Assef said.
Kamal’s laugh was a shrill, a nervous sound.
“But before you sacrifice yourself for him, think about this could he do the same for you? Have you ever wondered why he never includes you in games when he has guests? Why he only plays with you when no else is around? Ill tell you why, Hazara. Because to him your nothing but an ugly pet. Something that he can play with when he’s bored, something he can kick around when he angry. Don’t fool yourself and think you’re something more.” Amir was stuck in a controversial position where he was brought out and it could finally be apparent to others of the position where the servants child was in. he was not the friend Amir but he was something lowered that had no name. Amir could have made a decision to decide whether to deny and go against the allegations that had been said against him, or accept and finally tell the truth to his “friend” Hassan.
Amir was had been in this position before, in the position where he had also noticed of his own behavior that he would treat Hassan differently than the other children that he knew and would hang out with. he knew he treated Hassan as something different.
More evidence that could prove the way of how Amir feels about Hassan could be proven during the actual moment of which Hassan was been Raped by the other children. Amir had not made the decision and thoughts of going out to get help and or stop the process of what was happening.
