The Kite Runner Response to Ch 5-8 Amir is faced with a life-changing decision in this chapter, and he makes a choice based in fear and his own self interest rather than helping Hassan. What is your opinion of Amir's actions? Do you have any sympathy for him or do you condemn his actions entirely? Why do you believe Amir abandoned Hassan in the alley that day? Could he have taken any action to prevent what happened? Has there ever been a moment in your life when you felt it was the right decision to put yourself first?

In a written response of at least 400 words, discuss Amir's motives and his culpability in Hassan's assault, drawing on your own experiences and evidence from the text to support your argument.​
