These possibilities are an interesting take on this part of The Kite Runner, as Amir explains that although he is sorry, he is not sorry enough to run in the rain and apologize. Perhaps because the rain never touches it, it cannot be purified. Instead, I believe Khaled Hosseini uses the rain as a plot device to suggest crying, to suggest how much Amir will miss his best friend. Or perhaps it is simply used to imply the suffering Amir will endure by betraying Hassan. When you think about it, Amir was oblivious to what he had, he was too blind to realize that Hassan was a true friend who respected him. In Kite Runner, the main character Amir was blind himself. He was not physically blind, but metaphorically blind. Amir was blind to the truth about the important things in his life and the place he considered home. He was blind to the happiness he sought. Personally, I think Hosseini created a character like Amir to show us a person who lacked sight but slowly regains it as the story continues to develop, to show the reader that "there is a way to become good again.” (2) Amir was not aware of the fact that he could receive whatever he wanted because of his father's wealth and popularity. Amir was able to have things handed to him as nothing, while members of the beloved country he called home had to work hard to receive things of value. Hosseini begins Kite Runner with a character blind to what is happening in the “real world.” He lives most of his life thinking that the country he grew up in was a place one would be proud to call home, but as he gets older and time passes, he becomes less learns more and more about the terrible things about his homeland that were hidden. him for many years. This is just one of the examples from the novel
