Problem
I. In your opinion, did Baba do the right thing by lying to Amir for so many years about Hassan? Why or why not?
II. Describe how the line, "Now everyone in that room was either dead or dying. Except for me" (231) is an example of irony.
III. What does Rahim Khan mean when he says, "I think we both know why it has to be you, don't we?" (233) How does this provide an opportunity for Amir to be "good again"?
IV. In Chapter 19, Amir gets car sick as he drives to the orphanage. Describe the significance of sickness as a motif in the novel, using one additional example.
V. How has the Kabul of Amir's youth changed? Describe how it looks and how Amir feels about it when he returns (Chapter 20).
