Kaylee, honestly Amir’s
actions did not surprise me. We already knew that Amir was selfish, and that Amir
was jealous of Hassan. He probably had an unconscious hatred for Hassan. But
his actions did truly confirm our assumption that Amir was a coward and a
terrible friend. I agree that the worst part, is that Amir consciously knows
that he is doing the wrong thing; however, he continued to do it, by doing
nothing. It is crazy to think that doing nothing is evil. But it truly is clear
that what Amir did during the raping of Hassan was evil. I think the quote you
found could not be more perfect for defining Amir’s actions (I like how it was
from mean girls J). I think that it is hard
to hate Amir mostly because he is our protagonist. I don’t believe that Amir
deserves the intense pain and remorse that he is feeling. I also believe that
it is interesting that a single moment has transformed the life of not only
Amir but also the life of Hassan. Within a few minutes there lives would never
be the same. I also think that Amir should try to help Hassan after the event; however,
I believe Amir was only making matters worse. Hassan needs a friend and Amir is
now turning his shoulder to Hassan. This is truly sad to see.
