Chapters 14 to 19

These chapters are all pretty short so I've decided to summarize and give my input all at one time.

 Chapter 14 starts in June 2010 with a Call from Rahim Khan telling Amir he is sick and would like to see him.He also tell Amir that he knew everything about the kite, the money and watch he hid and hassan being raped. Amir immediately hops on the fastest flight to Pakistan to see him (he hasn't seen him in a very long time). Amir arrives on Pakistani International Airlines one week later.

 Chapter 15 starts with a taxi ride to Rahim's house.I learn that Amir hasn't seen Rahim since 1981, when Baba was still alive. Amir also feels very awkward since he hasn't seen in a very long time. The chapter ends with Rahim admitting that he is dying and that he doesn't have much more time to live. Amir seems to be upset with this information from Rahim, as he should. Amir was very close to Rahim when he was a young boy and he looked up to him alot more then Baba.
 In Chapter 16 Rahim is telling Amir all about Hassan. Hassan is married to a women named Farzana and Ali Has died due to stepping on a land mine. Rahim asks Hassan and his wife to stay with him because he can no longer take good care of Baba's old house by himself. Hassan's mother shows up one day and ends up staying with them as well, and Hassan becomes very close to his mother.I can only imagine how happy hassan must of been with his mother's return. Find out that she was alive must of made him quite happy.The chapter ends with Rahim telling Amir that Hassan ,and his wife, have a little baby boy in the winter of 1990.
 Chapter 17 starts with a letter from Hassan to Amir that Rahim gives to him. The letter details Hassan's life since being married and having a kid. He tells Amir of what he and his son,named Sohrab. Amir also learns that Hassan and his wife Farzana were shot and killed by the Taliban. This makes Amir very very upset because he was so close to Hassan.I can only imagine if i were to lose a friend that close to me and how upsetting it would be. Rahim's dying wish is to have Amir bring Sohrab back to Peshawar so he can be safe. The chapter ends with Amir learning that Hassan was his half brother. Amir is furious that no one told him early and that Hassan had died not knowing at all and he storms out of Rahim's house. I understand why Amir would be upset about this because maybe this would of been different with him and Hassan. The fact that Baba,Ali and Rahim covered up the lie for 38 years makes him even more furious. As it should because he trusted them and they hid the truth all this time.

 Chapter 18 is all about Amir deciding to go to Kabul to find Sohrab while he continues to be mad.The one quote that stuck with me this chapter was :

"There is only one sin. And that is theft...When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth"(pg 237). 

This is Amir reflection upon what Baba had told him when he was just a little boy and how Baba had done just that by lying to him.

 Chapter 19 just consist of Amir traveling to Kabul and staying in Jalalabad for the night.

 All these chapters,though mostly short, reveal a lot of hidden truths in the novel and make the novel very interesting. I've really enjoyed reading the novel and i think it can only become more eventful from here on.I only have 5 more chapters and I'm a bit sad it's almost over, I can only hope for a good ending.
