Amir ends up framing Hassan, saying that he was stealing his birthday money and a watch, once Buba has found out he has a talk with Hassan and Ali. Hassan tells Buba yes he did in fact steal the money and the watch, even when in fact he did not.
To Amir’s surprise, Hassan says he did. “My heart sank and I almost blurted out the truth.” Amir realizes Hassan saw him in the ally getting rapped, and he also realized that Amir was setting him up now. Baba forgives Hassan, but Ali says they must leave. The act of being saved from this sin is huge because Amir thinks if he doesn’t see them anymore
Amir would rather his father love him and be proud of him for one day than help his best friend from getting raped. Amir was selfish and unappreciative. After Hassan got raped, the relationship between him and Amir changed for the worst. Amir did another terrible thing by framming Hassan. This was the last time Amir saw Hassan because after Hassan and his father left, Amir and Baba moved to America.
For the rest of his life, Amir regretted his lack of action and blamed himself for what he did to Hassan. So when Rahim Kahn pleads him to come back to Kabul and to save Sohrab, convinces himself to save Hassan's son since he could not save Hassan himself. He goes as far as fighting Assef and says that although he is beaten within an inch of his life, he, "felt healed. Healed at last." (p289).
Boor shows this when he writes, “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). The only reason his parents told him the truth is Paul confronted them. While they admitted that he had a right to know, they justified their reason for not telling him earlier. Paul may have understood that his parents’ love led to their over protection but he probably distrusted his parents and their ability to tell him the whole truth. Paul’s parents’ choices changed the direction of his life.
Hassan emphasizes the idea that Amir is immodest, because Hassan has the quality of being humble. On page 104 Amir narrates, “…Then I took a couple of envelopes of cash from the pile of gifts and my watch…I lifted Hassan’s mattress and planted my new watch and a handful of Afghani bills under it.” Amir wants his father to kick Hassan out of their house, so he plants his own birthday gifts to make it look like Hassan stole them. Hassan’s humble quality goes on to contrast Amir, “Baba came right out and asked. ‘Did you steal that money? Did you steal Amir’s watch, Hassan?’ Hassan’s reply was a single word, delivered in a thin, raspy voice, ‘Yes.’” Hassan took the blame even though he knows Amir framed him, which makes Hassan humble and highlights that Amir is immodest.

A side-way of violence is revenge, a theme that also has an effect on how the story progresses. Without revenge, the disputes would happen but without serious consequences, so the violence only occurs once. The revenge Assef took for Hassan preventing him to hurt Amir, was a rape in front of Amir's eyes. He unzipped his jeans, dropped his underwear and positioned himself behind Hassan. Amir saw everything, but he didn't intervene and neglected to try helping his best
Formal Writing- Kite Runner “There is way to be good again.” This remark of Rahim Khan suggested to Amir that he could make up for his past mistakes. This realistic novel highlights the tension between two ethnic groups the Pashtun and the Hazara living together in 1970’s Afghanistan. This is shown in the story through the two main characters and their childhood friendship as Pashtun and Hazara boys. A significant event in Kite Runner is the Assef’s violation of Hassan after the kite flying tournament. When Amir decided to run away from Assef’s attack on Hassan, it meant that he chose to protect himself rather than help his friend.
Tom made a good choice when Mayella was trying to trap by backing away and trying not to harm her. When Atticus announces the news of Tom’s death, he says he got killed because he was trying to escape prison. “I told him what I thought, but I couldn’t in truth say that we had more than a good chance. I guess Tom was tired of white men’s chances and preferred to take his own. Ready, Cal?” (Lee 238).
