Does Amir ever really redeem himself? Is redemption possible for anyone? Explain. I think amir is trying to redeem himself through sohrab, because of hassan. He doesnt want to keep living with that guilt and misery anymore. The only thing he can do now is forgive himself, Baba, and Rahim Khan for keeping that secret from him. he needs to move on and go a separate way. He's slowly doing that by taking full responsibility for sohrab and caring for him. I believe he feels and understands his pain and what he went through because of hassan and how he's still trying to figure out his own life.

It's something we all have to do :)

In some ways yes he has redeemed himself. Its something that sometimes it takes longer, and alot of effot. Even if it causes someone to do things for themselves, to make themselves feel good or better for something that they did or didn't do. Yes, there .is room for everyone to redeem themselves. Its never too late unless you die. Like Noonan said, EVERYONE that does something feels good about it afterwards.

Redemption

I dont think Amir redeemed or will ever redeem himself because he is still stuck in the past and always remembering about the past which means he hasn't moved on at all and it still bothers him and It follows  him everywhere he goes. I think anyone can redeem themselves but that's if  they are able to move on with their lives.

I think amir feels redempti on through sohrab. since hes hassans son and doesnt want to have guilt anympre.

im so done with amir

Im personally over Amir. I do not think that he has redemed himself in my eyes. Maybe to eveyone around him who is nieve to why he is really doing all of these good deeds but not me. He is only being nice to Hassans son and doing all these other good things like getting beat up because he want to feel good again. If had done nothing wong in the past i think he would still be an ass and not care.

Redemption???

Does Amir ever really redeem himself? Is redemption possible for anyone?
Explain.

I think that Amir really doesn't redeem himself because to me I think he doing all of this for all the wrong reasons. Amir is only doing this to get his guilt out of his conscious. He thinks that by doing good he will no longer have guilt and can continue on with what he has to do. Amir only looks at ways that are going to benefit him. And not so much his freindship with Hassan. I do think that he has realized everything he did though. I think redemption is possible for people so long as there not trying to do it jst to benefit themselves.

Redemption

HAmir has been through a lot and keep thinking about the past that wish was different. He will never redeem himself if he is stuck in the past and let it go before he goes insane. Redemption is possible for anyone because they have problems like Amir and if they won't let go of past it will haunt you for a long time.

Is Redemption Possible....

I think is pretty obvious that Amir had at least started to redeem himself if not fully. I personally think Amir hasn't just redeemed himself but also for his father baba and the things he did. Though he is taking on a lot in life at this point and learning the truth about himself, his father and Hassan. He still want's to make things right,not just because of his guilt but also because of the fact he found out he has a brother that he treated Hassan like crap and watched him get raped. Though in the beginning I have to say I personally feel he was doing it all for the wrong reasons but as time goes on I see that hes starting to realize things and see them in a better perspective and is growing and becoming strong and mature. Not weak and hiding behind others like when he was a boy but hes growing into the man Baba wanted him to be, the man that Baba himself could not be.

Redeeeeeemption!

I think no because he never really tells anyone what happens with Hassan, he thinks by adopting he's son he will redeem himself but thats not how it really works. I think it is, if you confess to your situation, and admit how wrong you were. 

Redeem?

Does Amir ever really redeem himself? Is redemption possible for anyone? Explain. I think that Amir really isn't able to redeem from certain stuff that happened in his life. For example when he watched Hassan get raped and didn't do anything. Now he feels guilty about hat happen because now he found out that Hassan was his brother. So its like he watched his brother get raped by Assef. He would never be able to recover and move on from that because even though Hassan's dead. His still has Sohrab around him and knowing that same thing happened to him. But Amir is learning to live with it and to make things the best of it. He has to learn to redeem everything that has gone on with him. How he ruined a great friendship/brothership between him and Hassan just because he was jealous. Amir is now trying to make a good friend with his nephew because he ruined what he had with Hassan. He trying to make the best of it so that he could move on and not have to live with what he was living with. =)

 Amir has a very painful past and has this guilt that never really leaves him alone. Having the thought in his head that what he did was wrong really is affecting his life. After Amir watched Hassan get raped nothing was the same. He was filled with guilt and regret.I think that no amount of redemption can erase his past. Redemption is possible for anyone. It's never too late to try and make things better for yourself. Everyone makes mistakes that later we end up regretting but  you can always find a new path that leads you to better ways :)
