Amir's Atonement



Amir got to the point where he seeks for an atonement that wants to amend and become good again without having his conscience telling him about how he didn't help his friend when he needed.   He envied Soraya for letting her secret come out, for her courage and all this because he'd betrayed Hassan, lied, driven him out, and destroyed a forty-year relationship between his Baba and Ali.  He had to live with this horrible feeling and having in mind the picture when he stopped and watched, turned away from the ally.  Knowing that he a change to make a decision the final opportunity to stood up for Hassan as he did many times for him in the past.  But at the end he ran. Ran because he was a coward, he was afraid of Assef and what he would do to him. Afraid of getting hurt.  That was Amir's price that he had to pay the lamb he had to slay, to win his Baba.  He knew it wasn't fair and it floated in his conscious mind before he could thwart it, he just thought about how Hassan was just a Hazara.
