Redemption in the Kite Runner Essay
Throughout ââ¬Å"The Kite Runnerâ⬠Amir is portrayed as a boy who is always trying to make up or redeem himself for the mistakes he couldnââ¬â¢t control, or made. By Amir winning the tournament he tries to redeem himself since he believes he caused his motherââ¬â¢s death, but by redeeming himself for that he witnessed the mistake for not standing up for Hassan. After winning the tournament with the help of Hassan he redeems himself for his father. Amir is weak in Babaââ¬â¢s eyes, and thinks everything his son does is incorrect. Amir wants to be Babaââ¬â¢s favourite and for Baba to give him all of his attention, due to their expectations in one another. Baba is redeemed to his son after he wins and beats the record in the kite tournament. Amir risked his life by going back to Afghanistan. After leaving Afghanistan at the age of eighteen. Escaping inside the tank of a gas trunk, after the attack of Russians on Afghanistan. Amir had no reason to go back, until one day when Rahim Khan tells him about Hassanââ¬â¢s death. However the most shocking part of the letter concerns Hassanââ¬â¢s real father, which is Baba. Amir stands up for Sohrab by fighting Assef for him. When Amir returns to Afghanistan to find Sohrab proves to be the solution to his quilt towards Hassan, it also is the source of the redemption he so desperately wants to seek. He chose to find Sohrab and tries his hardest to give him a better life even if that does mean sacrificing his own safety. Therefor throughout ââ¬Å"The Kite Runnerâ⬠Amir is portrayed as a boy who is always trying to make up or redeem himself for the mistakes he made, but does redeem himself towards his father, Sohrab and especially Hassan. As Hassanââ¬â¢s and Amirââ¬â¢s father would say ââ¬Å"a boy who canââ¬â¢t stand up for himself becomes a man who canââ¬â¢t stand up to anythingâ⬠but Amir indicates he can stand up for himself.
