Dynamic Character

"And one more thing, General Sahib...You will never again refer to him as 'Hazara boy' in my presence. He has a name and it's Sohrab" (pg 361). Throughout the first half of the novel, Amir is constantly concerned with the opinion of his father. He consistently attempts to win the affection of Baba and make his father proud of his own accomplishments. He refers to Hassan as his servant, when in fact he is his best friend and his half-brother. Not only can he not defend himself, but he allows Hassan to be injured for the sake of his own pride. Towards the middle of the novel, however, the audience can detect a change in Amir's character when Amir begins to redeem himself through his search for Sohrab. By realizing that the right thing to do is fight for one's beliefs, Amir is a dynamic character. He makes the change from selfish to selfless and devotes nearly seven months to helping Sohrab. He treats Sohrab as his own son, even though he is a Hazara.
