What Is Amir's Relationship In The Kite Runner

The book “The Kite Runner” is from the perspective of Amir, the son of Baba. The characters relationships are quite complicated, Hassan is Amir’s best friend who is also his brother, but nobody finds this out until Amir goes back to kabul when his friend Rahim Khan is dying. Ali, the so-called father of Hassan and also the servant of Baba. What had happened in a chapter near the beginning of the book (chapter 7) hassan had been raped and Amir had sat there and watched the whole time. But that was early in the book but there was 18 more chapters for Amir to redeem himself. So I claim amir to have redeemed himself for the actions he did for Sorhab and for the money he had given the poor family (that was Farid´s cousins family) for food.

Another rib snapped, this time left lower. What was so funny was that, for the first time since the winter of 1975, I felt at peace.The reason Amir had felt at peace is because he has lived with the guilt of watching hassan his half brother be raped and not doing anything to help hassan. he felt at peace because he got what he thought he deserved 26 years ago.

For my final quote amir is in the hospital after assefs beating that he had recieved.."What… what did he tell you about us?" Amir says... "That you were the best friend he ever had," Sorhab said. I twirled the jack of diamonds in my fingers, flipped it back and forth. "I wasn't such a good friend, I'm afraid," I said."But I'd like to be your friend. I think I could be a good friend to you. Would that be all right?”
Amir admits he wasn’t such a good friend to Hassan but asks to be Sorhab’s friend so he can repay everything that hassan did for him during their friendship. Amir is trying to repay Sorhab for being a terrible friend to Hassan which Amir wants to work in the long
