The Kite Runner - Chapter 23

We continued making notes on Chapter 23, concerning Amir's character. I think he doesn't truly get the redemption he seeks until the very last chapter, when he runs after the kite Sohrab wanted in a kite flying competition. As a group, we discussed the idea of the double filter of the narrative, in that we see the story through the authoritative Amir and then through the child. We came to the conclusion that from Chapter 10 onwards Amir begins to look back retrospectively, rather than the story being told through a double filter. Currently, we are continuing making notes on this chapter as it is quite important in the development of Amir's character and his journey to redemption.
