The way Amir survives on the fume-filled tank is very ironic. It is because after the day that he watched Hassan get raped, he wanted him to be out of his life and gone forever. He shows this when he asks Baba to get new servants. I think that remembering flying kites with Hassan makes he remember a time where he was truly happy just like after the kite festival. He was happy because he had won and Baba was now very proud of him. This definitely foreshadows how much Amir misses Hassan and how much he really loves him. Thought he tried to get him kicked out and forced him to leave by planting the money and watch under his bed, Amir does really miss Hassan and wants to fly kites with him again just like in the old days.

__**Karla**__ When Amir is told by Baba to think of good times to try to get him distracted to his surroundings, Amir thinks back and finally remembers how he and Hassan were flying kites together. He rememere this becasue he remembered how he had won the kite competetion, but most importantly he had gained the love and the respect of Baba. Amir also shows that even though he had a great sin by lying to his father, and having Ali and Hassan leave the house, Amir still thought and very much loved Hassan.
