“There is a way to be good again.” This is a lesson that I personally learned from The Kite Runner‚ and I truly believe it to be true. In the book‚ Amir went through his whole life feeling guilty about all of the wrong and cruel things he did to his friend Hassan. When Rahim Khan called Amir and told him that he could in fact be good again‚ Amir went out of his way (to another country) to fix what he had done. This is a lesson that we can all apply to our lives in more ways than one. Everybody
