  • Amir's Worthy Of Forgiveness In The Kite Runner

    1157 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Taliban would kill people over a wrong glance which makes it super risky and there was no guarantee that Amir would make it home alive. Amir also showed bravery (288) when he fought Assef. He could have been a coward and left, allowing for Sohrab to take the beating like Hassan had done for Amir in the past, but instead he fought. This was brave because Assef was extremely violent with no moral which makes him a vicious fighter. There was a good chance Assef was going to kill Amir during the fight, but Amir did it anyways because he wanted to save Sohrab. The final example of Amir being brave was when he stood up for Sohrab to the General: “And one more thing, General Sahib,” I said. “ You will never again refer to him as ‘Hazara boy’ in my presence. He has a name and it’s Sohrab.”’ (pg. 361). The General and Amir had always had a shaky relationship and Amir had always been a bit timid towards the General. However, Amir didn’t stand for Sohrab being called a ‘Hazara boy’, a racist term that was offensive. Instead he stood up for Sohrab and made sure that Sohrab was not going to be called names like that which was brave of Amir. Amir's bravery shows that he has put in the effort to be worthy of forgiveness.

Defeating these warlords is no job for the weak. It takes carful planning and cannot be accomplished over night. By focusing on defeating the warlords at the top only, it is likely the warlords who don’t hold as much power will take their place and this will not solve anything. One thing in particular that Mr. Jalali is putting much focus into is the checkpoints created by the warlords. Jalali has several hundred Kabul policemen to man these points and ensure the safety of everyone. Hasan, a citizen of Afghanistan stresses the seriousness of these checkpoints when he shares a story about his own experience.
