Baba, the father of Amir, believed that every sin is a variation of theft. This statement made by Baba makes him seem very hypocritical because all of Amir's life Baba lied to him. He never told him that Hissan and Amir were brothers. This event alone causes everyone problems throughout the entire book. If Amir would've known that Hissan was his brother, he wouldn't have let Assef rape him. This story is unique because it shows how the protagonist and he antagonist can change or it can be one person. The Author of this book Khaled Hosseini provides his readers with much detail. For example during the event when Amir and Assef fought you can imagine how bad Amir looked afterwards.
