And the way to be good again is to go after Hassan's child and save him. He has always loved Hassan, even if he didn't show it and this is the way to repay him for what he did. On page 226 Amir is thinking of what Rahim Khan said,” There is a way to be good again, he'd said." Rahim Khan knows that if Amir goes to Kabul and saves Hassan's child then he will become 'good again'.<BR/><BR/>I think it was good that Amir didn't tell his wife about him going to Kabul because then she would have worried then entire time he was there. However, I do think he should have called and told her he would have to stay longer.jenniferbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02006437522279869150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1195363549784191257.post-9497026074935861332008-04-04T07:12:00.000-07:002008-04-04T07:12:00.000-07:00I am sure that he thinks about his wife but now he...I am sure that he thinks about his wife but now he is just a little more distracted at the moment.

This way there would be nothing between them like when Amir was talking about how there was something between them like a baby. Except it's not a baby but it could have possibly been him sensing that Hassan has a child now and they are spiritually connected.
