Pg-301 " A man who has no conscience, no goodness, does not suffer"
Pg-301 " A man who has no conscience, no goodness, does not suffer" pg 301 I think that Rahim Khan is trying to say that if someone doesn't feel guilty for something they did than that means that they don't have any goodness in them. Which means that they are not a good person a kind person. this person will be a person without a heart, no kindness and only caring for themselves. When Khan also said that a man without guilt has no conscience he was trying to say that this person does not think back on what he/she does, this person just goes on with their life not caring for the wrongs that they have committed. They don't have morals about life when they don't feel anything when they commit a wrong. A person who doesn't have have neither conscience nor goodness does not suffer from the remindings of his past wrongs. He doesn't feel anything when someone mentions something that reminds him/her of the event. Like when Amir always choked when he heard the very mention of the name Hassan. Rahim was trying to say the Amir is a good person and he does not have to suffer for his wrongs again.

Compare and Contrast the Movie to the Book
1. What's noticeably absent from the movie that you think should be in the movie and why?
The part that is noticeably absent from the film is the part where Baba has the attack while Amir and him were at the marketplace. In the book the doctor told Baba he had cancer and than Amir and Baba drove home and Baba demanded that Amir not tell anyone that he has cancer. Than Baba had the attack in he marketplace and thats how everyone found out that he had cancer. In the film the doctors tell Baba that he has cancer and than it just shows Baba on a hospital bed with Soraya's family in the room. The movie should have followed the book in that part because that changes who Baba is. Baba did not want anyone to find out about his cancer but in the film they already know once he has the cancer. He does this because he has a strong personality and he doesn't want people to see that he is weak, he has his honor and pride. Some examples in which Baba shows that he is strong is when Amir and Baba were going to get food stamps and Baba rejected the food stamps.
