Taken from Deborah Appleman's Critical Encounters in High School English
"...There is only one sin, only one. And that sin is theft."(17) Baba tells Amir that all sins are rooted to theft. For example if you kill a man, you stole his life, or if you cheated on a man with his wife then you are stealing the man of his wife. Baba isn't basing his beliefs on what everyone else thinks, but he has his own point of view on the world and the sins of the world.

“During the school year. . . .Hassan stayed home and helped Ali with the day’s chores” (27). This shows how Hassan is subservient to Amir. This display of frienship dynamics, I feel, will play a role later in the book.

"Lore has it my father once wrestled a black bear with his bare hands" (12). This is a hyperbole because he didn't really wrestle a bear but they tried to show his strength.
