In Khaled Hosseini's novel The Kite Runner, an Afghan named Amir must atone for his past actions in honor of a childhood friend. The novel is based on the relationship between Baba and Amir, as well as the relationship between Hassan and Amir. One day, Amir's world is turned upside down by Hassan's rape, forcing Amir to choose which person means more to him, Baba or Hassan. Khaled Hosseini proves that Amir comes full circle through his portrayal of Amir's relationship with Hassan, Amir's conflict with Assef, and Amir's relationship with his father, Baba. Amir comes full circle in his relationship with Hassan through Hassan's child, Sohrab. After Hassan's rape in the alley, Amir feels an overwhelming sense of guilt and tries to have Hassan. Most of Amir's problems stem from the relationship with his father. Amir does not intervene in the alley because he thought, “Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I had to kill to win Baba” (77). Instead, Amir worries about his status and what others think of him. Amir earns Baba's respect by winning the kite flying competition. “And that was the greatest moment of my twelve years of my life, seeing Baba on that roof, finally proud of me” (66). Amir doesn't want to compromise this feeling. This is another reason why he does not intervene. It is not until Baba and Amir are in America that their relationship improves significantly. Amir is about to come full circle when he graduates from high school. After a night of celebration, Baba expresses his joy that Amir has graduated by “pointing to the car in front of [them]. It was an old Ford model..." (133). Baba is extremely proud of Amir and gives him a car to get to and from college. Their relationship is so strong that Baba is delighted to arrange a marriage for Amir to a girl named Soraya. Baba asks the father, the General, if Amir can marry Soraya, and “[The general accepts]” (163). Baba is so proud of Amir and his achievements in his life and with only a few months to live. “Baba [spends] $35,000, almost the balance of his savings, on the awroussi, the wedding ceremony. » (169). Symbol of the relationship with Hassan, Amir did not have the courage to intervene when he was twelve years old but many years later, when it comes to Sohrab, he has the courage to stand up to Assef. When Amir was little, Assef had the upper hand and Amir's confidence was lacking because of Amir's relationship with his father. Now, Amir is confident and ready to stand up to Assef. The move to America was beneficial for Amir and Baba's relationship as they connected more to add that Amir prospered in the United States and made Baba proud. Thus, making Amir come full circle in all his relationships and
