The Kite Runner- Chapters 18-20

What type of growth have we seen in Amir?

Amir is slowly becoming much more independent. He used to rely completely on his father, but now he is stating to act more like his father. He is also becoming a braver by deciding to go to Afghanistan to save and take care of Sohrab.

What was your reaction to the 'state' of Kabul upon his return?

Amir says that kabul has changed so much. He feels like he is a tourist in Kabul, but then he also realizes that he has always been a tourist after he sees the poor man dressed in rags. It was nothing like what he imaginged it would be. It is also a war zone. All of the trees have been cut down because of the war.

Where do you think the story is going from here?
From this point, the story will be about Amir finding Sohrab, and trying to be atoned or his sins.
