Guilt takes over your body as if their are demons controlling your emotions never letting you forget the things you have done.

Indignation?” or worst of all “what [he] feared most: guileless devotion? That, most of all, [he] couldn't bear to see." (pg )Amir began to ashamed of his choice to run. He could not bare to look Hassan in the eyes because it put him in too vunerable of a spot. Amir can not comprehend the fact that Hassan was willing to get …show more content…
Baba being Amir's friend now takes the family to (look up place). On the way Amir gets sick and has them pull over, getting dizzy “ little shapes formed behind [his] eyelids, like hands playing shadows on the wall.” turning into “Hassan’s brown corduroy pants discarded on a pile of old bricks in the alley” (84).

His mind will always take him back to hassan getting raped. Even if it doesn’t relate to the situation, he will inevitably find a way to tye it in. When he was around was a constant reminder, feeling as if the “oxygen seeped out of the room. [Amirs] chest
