End of Kite Runner

"If someone where to ask me if the story of Hassan, Sorhab, and me ended in happiness, I wouldn't know what to say" (357).

I didn't know if the story was happy or sad myself. I guess a little of both. I think there are a few stories in this one book. The story of Amir lifting his guilt and finding a way to indirectly help Hassan by saving his son. The is the story of Hassan, who till his dieing day lived for Amir. He died protecting Amir's home leaving his son an orphan. Sorhab story is of a broken soul. Hosseini leaves the reader with a glimmer of hope for Sorhab's future, "A smile. Lopsided. Hardly there. But there" (371). With that, the book leaves Sorhab's future to the readers imagination.
