Yes Amir has betrayed his best friend many times but he thought at the time that it was the right choice even though he was a child. In the end he tried to fix the wrong that he committed even though it may not be fixed he tried and that’s what counts the most. From the beginning until the end people where trying to make the wrong right and I feel that Amir did the best that he could.Corey Landon-09https://www.blogger.com/profile/03224593461663471842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-81624547580156656012009-01-21T19:05:00.000-08:002009-01-21T19:05:00.000-08:00I think that Amir truely is an honorable person.

Since Amir went back to Kabul and rescued Sohrab, he is made up for his past because he risked his life to go against Taliban and save Sohrab. Also he brought Sohrab back with him to the US. So, I think that Amir is honorable.Stefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420236937539622206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-60074283585420278562009-01-21T16:06:00.000-08:002009-01-21T16:06:00.000-08:00As a kid he tried so hard to be but it just wasnt ...As a kid he tried so hard to be but it just wasnt in him thats why he didnt help Hassan.

The reason I say this is because when he made the mistakes he made, he was only a child. No child in the world is going to make all the right decisions and have a lot of courage like we would want him to have. And to talk about how Amir treats Hassan badly, that is just the culture he was raised in and does not know any better. But he is not a bad person because he feels horrible when he gets older and knows he made mistakes which is why I don't feel he is a completely bad or dishonorable person. Nobody is going to make all the right choices all the time, but to know when you do make a mistake and actually try to fix it shows some sense of honor.nick pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867034044187443165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-61917727881696286352009-01-21T14:53:00.000-08:002009-01-21T14:53:00.000-08:00I do not think that Amir is a bad person, even th...I do not think that Amir is a bad person, even though he made many many mistakes.

The only thing he shows honor in is Kite fighting, but even then Hassan mostly helps out there. Plus he treats Hassan like dirt, even though Hassan has stood up for him many a time, not exactly something an honorable person would do. And he doesn't seem to take responsibility for too much.Cody Stewardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659385919247871085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-17954379046352526252009-01-21T12:52:00.000-08:002009-01-21T12:52:00.000-08:00I think that Amir has his mood swings because thei...I think that Amir has his mood swings because their is times where Amir wanted people to be failures so that he would be on tie but then he came to his senses and wnted to make his life and others much better and happier.tymetriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036278483964273525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-78372986301010477842009-01-21T12:28:00.000-08:002009-01-21T12:28:00.000-08:00I do not think that Amir is a perfect person but h...I do not think that Amir is a perfect person but he is also not a totally bad person either.

I think this becasue I really feel that even though Amir can be cowardous at times that he really is a good person and he just doesnt realize how strong he is and can be. I think that he will start to realize what is important in life and eventually he will defend himself and he will fight for what is right. I believe that he will learn to overcome his fear and he and other people will start to realize that he is and honorable human being.zach schwartzmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285679759902516683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5031376589570368899.post-56194918214558452452009-01-20T10:51:00.000-08:002009-01-20T10:51:00.000-08:00I do think that he is a honorable person.
