The Kite Runner

Four events are described which help the reader understand a turning point, which is Amir’s attempt to redeem himself. The key words of the question are integrated into the answer but the thinking doesn't go beyond the basic link to the words. Although the idea becomes repetitious by the end, the answer shows a solid understanding of crafting and author's purpose.
