Kite runner #3

In our literature discussion, we discussed Amir's responsibility for Hassan's actions such as leaving. I think that he is partly responsible because he hid the money in Hassan's room and framed him for something he did not do. Baba did not want to get rid of Ali and Hassan because Hassan was his son and Ali was like a brother to him. I think by now, Hassan has had enough of Amir not doing anything and feels he will have a better life away from him, however, he still feels loyal to Amir and misses him and they do not get to see each other again.
Referring back to the part where Amir frames Hassan, i think this plays a part in leading to his death. If he had stayed with them, he would have probably lived a lot longer under the care of Baba and Amir.
After I finished the book, I thoughtof many questions. First of all; Does the Taliban symbolize the bullies Amir and Hassan had as kids and do their actions represent what they did earlier? For instance, they raped Hassan in his childhood and now they kill him. They beat Amir up in his childhood physically and emotionally and do te same later. I feel like everything in this book happens in twos. First, they kite run in the beginning and end of the book. Also, Amir gets bullied by Assef twice.
In this book, I noticed many attempts at redemption from Amir. First, he throws fruit at Hassan to get him to throw it at him. He has many other attempts such as finding Hassan's son but he is truly redeemed in his eyes when he is being beaten up by assef. He feels he is mostly redeemed because what was done to Hassan in Amir's eyes, equaled what happened with the Taliban and assef. Also, he is fully redeemed at the end of the story when he runs the kite for Sohrab. I enjoyed the ending because he ended it with everyone happy and Sohrab finally happy too. He shows that he doesn't care about anything more than his nephew Sohrab by running the kite.
