Before class today, I am currently at page 178, Amir has just traveled to Pakistan, and Rahim Kahn.
It has happened a lot to Baba, Amir, Hassan and Ali since last time I wrote here. The relationship between Amir and Hassan is really bad. Amir is driven by guilt, and Hassan doesn’t know what he has done. After Amir’s birthday, he plants his new wristwatch and a handful of money under Hassan’s bed. Then he asks Baba where his watch is. This is Amir’s way of forcing Ali and Hassan to leave, and so they do.
At the age of eighteen, Amir travels with Baba to Pakistan. They escape from an Afghanistan tore by war. At the trip, Baba shows himself as a gentleman, as always. In the US, Baba works his head off. His hands are black from oil and dirt from the gas- station, and he is soon promoted as “daily manager”. Every Sunday, they go to the Flea Market where they sell second- hand items for a dollar more then they bought them. At the market, Amir meets the Taheri- family. Their daughter, Soraya, and she is at Amir’s age…
Baba gets cancer. For a long time, this illness demands a lot of attention in Amir’s life. After months of illness, Amir asks Baba to go and ask the Taheri for their daughter’s hand. Amir and Soraya marry each other, and a couple of weeks later, Baba dies…
Many years pass, and Amir and Soraya are happily married. One day, Amir receives a phone call. The person calling is Rahim Khan. He says that it is a way to be good again, and asks him to come to Pakistan before he dies…
Yes, there is a way to be good again. What does he mean by that. Certainly an important part of the book. What does Rahim know? You write about important parts of the book. Good for you!
