When amir and Baba move to america Baba sacrifices everything he had in afghanistan for Amir. Baba gave up everything he had back in Afghanistan to go to america so that Amir could fulfil his dream of becoming a writer. Baba went from a very well known and wealthy person to a poor very unknow person in america. “Besides I didn't bring us here for me, did I?” (Hosseini, 2003, Pg 130) This is saying that if Amir didn't want to pursue a job in writing they would most likely have never came to America. Baba brought AMir to America for his own good. To keep him safe and also for his writing. With Baba being a rich and known man in Afghanistan he would have had no desire to move to america where he would be very unknown and poor person. This sacrifice changed Amir's future because he learned that baba did care about him and that he would have to make sacrifices for his family in the future. So based on what his dad did which was sacrifice his life back home Amir decided to sacrifice himself to go and find his nephew Sohrab. He had sacrificed his life and everything he had back in america to go and save this little boy. “I remember he said to me, ‘Rahim, a boy who can’t stand up for himself becomes an man who can't stand up for anything.” (Hosseini, 2003, Pg 221) This quote also explains this claim because able to do something to stand up for what he believer and that he is able to do thing for people besides himself. In the end of the book Amir ended up standin standin up for Sohrab and saving him from Assaf to prove to people that he is able to defend for himself and others. He also saved Sohrab to try to get redemption for all the people who sacrificed things for him. Like Baba, Hassan, Rahim, and many
