mistakes sometimes, but to what extent does someone stop forgiving when they have endured all
the hardship a person gives them after they have been forgiven several times. There is a certain
point in life when some people do not deserve to be forgiven because every time that person is
forgiven, that person takes advantage it because that person knows they will be forgiven. There is

forgiveness, especially when they've been given multiple chances to do the right thing. That person
is Amir from the book the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Firstly, one of the many unforgiving

Amir makes hassan look like a thief by “planting [his] new watch and a handful of Afghani bills
under [the mattress]” (Hosseini 104). Hassan knew of Amirs intentions that Amir wanted him to
leave so Hassan lies and says that he stole it in order to remain loyal with his friend Amir.
