Atonement-Amir

I think Amir feels guilty about a lot of things. One thing that Amir wishes to be forgiven was when he lied about the night that Hassan was abused by the other boys. He wants to make up for his mistake by placing his birthday gift beneath Hassan's bed. I think by making it seem like Hassan stole his watch, Hassan could be free and would no longer need to be treated poorly. I think Amir also wants to be forgiven by his father because he always feels bad about how he cannot live up to Baba's standards. He feels that he is letting his father down when he decides to write instead of doing things that Baba likes, such as soccer.
