What events trigger such changes in the characters? In what ways do the events in the books reveal evidence of the author's world view?

    In my previous post we learned about the characteristics of the main characters, Amir and Hassan. We learned how they evolved and changed throughout the novel, but we didn't learn how. There was one main event in the story that took place that changed and evolved both characters. This event took place after the Kite Tournament when they had won and Hassan was running the last kite he ever would for Amir. Hassan ran into some bullies, and when Amir was peering from around the alley way corner, he watched his bestfriend get sexually abused. Amir did nothing about this. He was in an inner battle with himself and new either option he chose would hurt him either physically or emotionally. Amir choosing to walk away from that moment changed his relationship with Hassan forever. Amir and Hassan never ran another kite again, they never read under the pomegrante tree, or run to the bazara for naan. Amirs decision to get rid of Hassan by planting a watch and money in Hassans hut to frame him showed his character had seriously changed from the beginning of the novel into something his father had told him never to be. Even based on his poor decisions decades ago, Amir got a chance to redeem him self after being in America for so long, he headed pack to Pakistan. This event began changing Amir into a courageous and self righteous man once and for all. The trip Amir took to Pakistan finally made up for the decision he made many years ago and karma had finally come around and gave him what he had realized he had deserved.
