Change and Tragedy


            It seems that some of the most tragic things happen to the kindest and most loyal people, such as Hassan and Rahim Khan. In his last letter, Hassan shows that he has always been loyal, even through the years and after everything that Amir did to him. I can’t say that Hassan’s will to forgive surprised me at all: it was expected. Similarly, Amir hasn’t changed much throughout the twenty-five years. For a few moments I actually thought that he had changed and that he wouldn’t hesitate to do something related to Hassan. My train of thought was encouraged by Amir’s recent flow of memories from his childhood with Hassan. Though he hesitated, I’m glad that he did what Rahim Khan asked him to do because, for once, he actually did what was right and even found peace for his actions. Also, Amir’s trip was good for Sohrab; he now has people that care about him.
