   Amir is a protagonist that would do almost anything for his father's love.  He is however not the ideal son according to his father.  Amir is a introvert.  He likes to think things through rather than talk about them.  He is a reader and a scholar.  He enjoys making up stories and sharing them with Hassan.  As an adult he continues to be a student.  He graduates from college and becomes an author.  He spends his whole life trying to live a life of which his father would be proud.  Amir also has a secret which he holds onto his whole life.  He had betrayed his friend Hassan and he can't forgive himself for that betrayal.
