Journal---Chapter 19

In this chapter, Amir was on his way to Afghanistan.
In other words, he was on his way to redeem himself from what he had done wrong.
Farid was the drive who take Amir to Kabul. On the way, the narrator got the car sickness again.

At first Farid was really cold to the narrator. In his mind, Amir just came back to Afghan, sold off his house and land and then came back to the United States again. Those Afghanistan who stayed behind and fought the wars wouldn't give a warm face to Amir.
That night, the narrator stayed in Wahid's. Wahid was Farid's brother. At his place, Farid asked a lot of poignant questions to Amir, which made Wahid angry. However, Farid finally saw the truth.
Wahid serve Amir so kindly though his family didn't have many food.
When the narrator left, he planted a fistful of money under a mattress, like what he had done twenty-six years before. But this time, it was for good.
This chapter made a sharp contrast to what Amir had done before. What Amir did displayed the words said by Rahim Khan:
There is way to be good again.
