Throughout the entire chapter I was so happy because Sohrab would be able to go home and live a happy life in America with Amir and Soraya but at the end it got really depressing. Once Amir found out that he had to put Sohrab into an orphanage again I kind of knew what was going to happen, earlier in the chapter Amir was told not to make false promises to children and he did exactly that. I thought that Sohrab would runaway or get very upset with Amir but I did not expect him to hurt himself, at the end of the chapter it makes it sound like he tried killing himself which I though was very surprising considering he is only a child, but then looking back and realizing that he most likely watched his family get murdered and was probably raped by assef, Sohrab has experienced things in his life that most people in the world will never experience in their life and this probably causes him to mature very fast at such a young age. Like Amir said, there are a lot of children in Afghanistan but not enough childhoods.
In chapter 24 of the kite runner, Amir arrives with Sohrab in Islamabad. They enter a hotel where they say their goodbyes to Farid. Amir hands hima check of money. Sohrab and Amir drive in their room. Then they take a nap. Sohrab is gone. Amir searches for him and finds him at the mosque. At the mosque Sohrab says that he misses his parents. I feel as if this is the first major moment in Amir acting as a father toward Sohrab. Amir hands a photo to Sohrab. It is his father. Sohrab believes that he has disappointed his father. He wants to bring Sohrab to the United States. It will be difficult to adopt Sohrab and figures out he will need an immagration lawyer. Amir mentions that he might have to go to an orphanage. When he finds out, Sohrab goes to the bathroom. Thre Amir receives a call that Amir will not have to go into an orphanage. Sohrab then attempts a sucide.
I was very surprised that at only 11 or 12 years old Sohrab would go as far as to cut himself. However, looking at his past makes this not less sad or upsetting, but more understandable. There is no way he dies though. Sohrab represents Hassan, and if Sohrab dies then Amir can never make up for abandoning Hassan.
In chapter 24 we see a new problem arise, which is that Amir cannot prove that Sohrab is an orphan. With this problem in play, I think Amir begins to act as a father figure for Sohrab. Talking things out with him, guiding him and related to him. I feel like This helps Sohrab numb his pain of no longer being with his parents. This is also very therapeutic to talk about for Amir because he understands what Sohrab is going through. We also see in this chapter Amir release basically everything to Soraya that has happened since he's been gone. This helps Amir get some closer and relieves some stress from his life. - James Minotti
In chapter 24 Frid leaves to go back home and Amir gives him 2k.later Amir and Sohrab sleep together and when Amir wakes up Sohrab is missing.He finds him by a Mosque and is praying for forgiveness for hurting Assef.Amir asks Sohrab if he wants to go the Usa with him.Sorab at first is scared that people won’t like him there.But things aren't as easy as Amir thought since he can’t actually adopt Sohrab because he’s technically not an orphan since they don't have his parents death certificates.Now Sorab gets depressed after hearing these news because he doesn't want to go to anymore orphanages.later in the night when Amir goes to check on Sorab and he screams as he calls an ambulance.That chapter really did a 360 on the tone by the end of the chapter.
At the beginning of chapter 24, Amir gives 2 thousand dollars to Farid to thank him For all he has done for him and sohrab. I thought that was really thoughtful and nice of Amir to do such a thing. After a nap, Sohrab was gone and Amir couldn't find him for a while. This part of the chapter made me a little scared because I thought that Sohrab had run away and wasn't coming back for good. When Amir found Sohrab it seemed as if the relationship was closer than before. Towards the end of the chapter Amir talks about putting Sohrab in an orphanage. Sohra be does not like I said the event and I'm interested in keeping this hidden from him because of that. The end of the chapter, we see Amir on his knees screaming and crying, Amir then calls an ambulance. I found this park confusing because the author does not tell us who the ambulance was for, my guess was that Sohrab got hurt in some major way in the ambulance and it was for him. -yanna
A new obstacle emerges in Chapter 24, specifically, Amir's inability to prove that Sohrab is an orphan. As a result of this dilemma, I believe Amir begins to function as a father figure for Sohrab. He intends to transport Sohrab to the United States. Adopting Sohrab will be challenging, and he will require the services of an immigration lawyer. Amir speculates that he may have to enter an orphanage. Sohrab goes to the bathroom when he finds out. Amir receives a phone call informing him that he will not have to enter an orphanage.
