In the past chapters Amir has shown a lot of growth and progression. Amir has become a lot less selfish. After what he heard to Hassan and and his wife, shot and killed, he want to help Hassan's orphan son.
I thought it was ridiculous how much Kabul had changed when Amir returned. He did not even know this place any more. It was a place of chaos and catastrophe.
Unfortunately I see the story only getting more sad and depressing. Things may get better for a little but I think it is inevitable that the story will continue to be sad and we will see several characters hardships.
