I like how in chapter 19 you can see that Amir has tried to overcome his weaknesses, like his car sickness; he has recognised that it is a weakness and he is trying to overcome it. I also think that while doing this, he is showing that he is becoming more mature and dealing with his problems instead of shutting them out. Another sign of his maturity is where Farid offers him the lemon and he just takes it instead of arguing with him 'As an Afghan, I knew it was better to be miserable than rude'; it seems like Amir realises now how other people actually feel, different to how he was when he was younger with Hassan, where he would deliberately do things to annoy him or make him feel small, like poking fun at him because he couldn't read.
I also like it near the end of the chapter where its as if Amir is correcting what he did to Hassan and Ali when he put the watch under Hassan's mattress to frame him, because in this chapter he puts money under a mattress to help Farid and his family.
Yeah, its rambly, but I know what I'm getting at and eventually i'll write a blog that everyone else understands :D. Yeah that was a smiley face. :O
