What is your reaction to Rahim Khans letter to Amir? Should the letter have been present to him earlier? Do you feel that baba was a good man?


I feel that Baba wasnt a good man to neither Hassan or Amir because he made Hassan his servant and he treated Amir very wrong and diffrently. Amir suffered and yearneed for baba affections. For the letter Rahim Khan sent to amir all i can say is that the truth really came out. everything from the truth and the reasonings to why things happend a certian way came out to me that was a letter of truth.

" A boy who wont stand up for himself becomes a man who cant stand up to anything".
What does this mean?

I think it means that if you dont learn how to take up for yourself early in life when you get older it might be to late. You learn early so you can know from the back of your head than to wait until your 13 then to me it will be to late to learn what you should have already learned.
