Chapters 10-14 (pp. 110-194)
What 'weakness' of Amir's does Baba have to apologize for in Chapter 10?
On the ride Baba and Amir took in the cement truck to get accross the border, Amir got very car sick. Baba saw that as a weakness. I think that is absolutely ridiculous and must have made Amir feel incredibly bad.

Chapters 1-5 (pp. 1-47)
Describe Amir. Why does Baba sometimes hate him?
Amir is a kind natured, intelligent young man, but is 'softer' than Baba is. This causes frustration on Baba's side because he wants his son to be macho, like him! Amir is more artistic and contemplative and definitely not a violent person as a whole. Eventually Baba somewhat accepts Amir as he is.

What does Amir put under Hassan's mattress? Why does he do it?
Amir puts some money and a watch under Hassan's mattress to get himself in trouble, but to his suprise, Hassan tells Baba that he did do it! Baba forgives him instantly, even though in his opinion, theft is the worst sin of all; the only sin in fact! Hassan has proved his loyalty to Amir yet again.

What does Amir ask of Baba that makes Baba angry? What does Baba say in response?
During a day of gardening, Amir asks Baba why he doesn't just get new servants. Amir didn't know what was coming next. Baba took this very offensively and blows up at Amir. Baba tells him to never ever ask anything like that again, because Ali and Hassan are staying where they belong, meaning with them. We later learn it's because Hassan is actually Baba's son, and Amir's half brother!

"Children aren't colouring books. You don't get to colour them in with your favourite colours." Respond/react to this thought.
I believe that children are born with their own personalities that will develop as they age. It is impossible to completely mould them into exactly what you want them to be. Children are humans that are going to make mistakes to figure things out and learn their own lessons first hand. Of course it is important to provide children with guidance, but to a certain extent.

Describe Baba. Why does Amir sometimes hate him?
Baba is described as a big, burly, loud, strong and sometimes scary, man. He shows little emotion unless regarding his late wife or Ali and Hassan. Amir sometimes lothes him because he is always the hero. He always makes sure he comes out as the leader.
