Chapter 10

Chapter 10 is the chapter we have been assigned to write about for the class essay that sort of turned into a homework. I found the lesson we spent trying to find quotes and stuff useful for writing the essay because it gave me ideas from other people when if I had just had to write the essay on my own at home I would have been totally clueless and winging it! Chapter 10 is the chapter where Amir is remembering how he and Baba got out of Afghanistan and the journey out. I think it is quite an important chapter because it shows Amir's frustration with how his father behaves, not just his admiration, like when Amir clamped 'a hand on his thigh' because his father was being a hero but in a situation where it could get him killed. Amir wants to be like his dad but not when it would put him in danger, which reflects on his reaction to what happened to Hassan.
