Chapter 25 “In Afghanistan the most important was the end”

Amir began to pray  because Sohrab lost a lot of blood but the doctors realized many blood transfusions of red cells and the doctors can  fortunately save to Sohrab.
They traveled to California where Soraya, the wife of Amir, was waiting for them. A beautiful room was assigned for Sohrab but the insecurity which Sohrab felt was huge because he was raped and betrayed.
The Sohrab’s insecurity was a problem because since Sohrab arrived to California, he never had smiled but in one party, Amir and Sohrab saw kites flying and Amir invited to Sohrab to run one but he didn’t want. Amir told Sohrab the story about the final tournament of kites in Afghanistan in which Amir and the father of Sohrab won.

The book said that the Americans never said the end but in Afghanistan the most important was the end of the troubles. Finally the end in the novel is as Afghanistan, they ended with the troubles and they were happy running and cutting the kites.

Chapter 24 “Sohrab has problems”

Amir left the hospital and tried to get a American VISA and passport to Sohrab. They travel to the American embassy in Afghanistan for searching help, but when they arrived, the lawyer gave them bad news. The bad news was that the Sohrab’s parents were murdered and none stated the death of his parents when this occurred. Therefore, Amir couldn’t achieve the VISA because none could check that Sohrab doesn’t have parents.
For this situation, Sohrab was very sad and unhappy and the only opportunity that Sohrab has is to wait two years more in an orphanage but Amir called for his wife, Soraya, in California and he said all the events that they had had. Soraya gave to Amir another opportunity to get the VISA, this opportunity is through her father. When Amir received this news he was happy but when he went to give the news to Sohrab, he had an unexpected event. Sohrab was trying to commit suicide in the bathroom.

Chapter 23 “I found to Sohrab but now what I need to do with him?”

After the great battle between Amir and Asseft, the main character, Amir, was in the hospital because he could lose his life for many knocks in the body. He described in detail the difficult days in the hospital because he was in recovery for many days. When he was in the hospital, he read a letter that Rahim Khan sent before depart.

In the letter Rahim Khan said that he knew the true about the Hassan’s rape, which surprises to Amir because Amir all the time thought the only people that knew the true about the rape were Asseft, the friends of Asseft, Hassan and Amir, but now one person more knew the cruel story. Rahim in the letter mentioned that it was main reason for which he called to Hassan. Now Amir needs to search one place for Sohrab because in the orphanage the most of the children are raped.

Chapter 22 “The revenge”

Amir finally met with the Taliban man who had the son of Hassan. But the face of the Taliban man was very familiar. The Taliban was the first in recognized to Amir because he never forgets a face. This man was the worst enemy for Amir and Hassan. This man was Asseft the boy who raped to Hassan when they were children. Asseft was still doing damage but now with the son of Hassan, probably Asseft was the man who killed Hassan and Farzana.

This is the most important part of the book because Amir could revenge or die. Asseft was a leader of the Taliban regime and he decided confront to Amir, but he was a bad man and he decided to have Sohrab, the nephew of Amir, seeing the fight between Amir and Asseft.

They fight for much time and Asset once more was winning the fight. Amir was undefended but Sohrab always carry with him a slingshot as his father and Sorahab used it to hit in Asseft’s eye.

“My old Kabul doesn’t exist” Chapter 21

The owner of the orphanage said to Amir that the man who had his nephew was in the Stadium of Kabul. Farid and Amir were traveling to the Stadium but in the route Amir recognized the street of his house. He visited his house, but it was completely different. The Taliban regime had destroyed a large part of his house. When he arrived to his house, he was remembered all the experiences that he had had with Hassan, Baba, Ali and Rahim Khan.

Finally Amir and Farid arrived to the Stadium of Kabul. But an unexpected event happened into the Stadium. The Taliban regime was punishing the people that they considered like sinners. The situation in Kabul was completely different some years before. The old Kabul had disappeared because the entire city was controlled by the Taliban regime. When the sacrifice finished, Amir met with the Taliban, who had to Sohrab.

Chapter 20 “Where is Sohrab?”

Amir discovered the real situation in Kabul because the entire city was changed by the Taliban regime. He could have a trouble with a Taliban because he challenged him with the look but fortunately the man didn't do anything.
Amir searched to Sohrab in the orphanage of Kabul but the owner said that none boy had this name, however Amir knew that the owner was lying and Amir told him the entire story about his nephew. The owner understood the situation and finally he said the entire true about his nephew.

The owner perceived the desperation of Amir and tried to help him. The owner said him that Sohrab was with a Taliban and always this man visited the orphanage to take 1 or 2 children. The Taliban regime donated a good amount of money to the hundreds of children which lived in the orphanage, but in return the owner needed give to the regime Taliban the children that they need to rape or sell. Unfortunately Sohrab was one of these children.

Chapter 19 Amir searches to his nephew.

Amir was convinced by Rahim khan to search Sohrab. In spite of his pain, Amir decided to do his best effort to recover the son of his half-brother. This is the perfect opportunity to do the good things and give back all the facts that Hassan had done for Amir in their childhood.
Amir took a taxi, which was driven by Farid. The driver arrived to his house in Afghanistan. In this house, Amir lived the difficult situatuion that all the Hazaras had in Afghanistan.

The search was complicated because Sohrab was orphan and Amir only had a photograph where Farzana, Amir and Sohrab appeared which did the search more difficult. When they were searching in Kabul, Amir felt like a stranger because he had not visited Kabul for many years.
In my opinion these events can recover the bad things that Amir did to Hassan when he was a child. This is the opportunity that Amir was waiting.

Chap.18 “I never wished came back to Afghanistan”.

In this chapter, Amir knows the truth about his father and begins to remember all the phrases that Baba had mentioned about Hassan.  For example when Amir asked to Baba if he’d ever consider getting new servants and Baba said “This is his home and we’re his family”. Another example is when Amir was happy for his graduation and new car but Baba ruined his day with the comment: “I wish Hassan had been with us today”.

The disappointment that Amir had to his father was big, Amir considered to Baba like a theft, and he used his same words to define a thief. He remembered “When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth”. In effect, Baba was a thief because he had lied to Amir all his life.

The situation was very clear, Baba all the time had considered to Hassan like his son, but Amir never had seen this situation. 

Chapter 17 "Baba lied all the time"

The days for the Hassan’s family were happy, but the future for him completely changed because the Hassan’s mother, Sanaubar, never waked up and died. On the other hand the Taliban regime killed to Hassan and Farzana because the Taliban regime said that they were stealing the house of Baba because the Hazaras couldn’t live in this beautiful house. Finally the baby of Hassan, Sohrab, was orphan.

Rhamin Khan gave some letters to Amir from Hassan; these letters had a summary of the Hassan’s life. The letters included a photograph in which appeared Hassan, Farzana and Sohrab. Amir read these letters but when he has finished it, Rhamin Khan said the truth about his call to him. The truth was that Ali was sterile and he couldn't have to Hassan. The question was: Who was the real father of Hassan? And the answer was “Baba” the father of Amir therefore Hassan and Amir were half-brothers. Baba had lied all his life.
