     There is a brief conflict between Soraya and Amir. Amir had not called in several weeks and Soraya had become very worried. As Amir called Soraya she stated, “‘Why didn’t you call earlier? I’ve been sick with tashweesh! My mother’s praying and doing nazr every day’, (Hosseini, 325). ” There is more tension frustration expressed by Soraya till Amir is able to explain why he has not been in contact.

 

     The large conflict of this passage is between Amir and Raymond Andrews, a worker at the American Embassy. Amir had gone to the embassy to inquire about adopting Sohrab. Amir described briefly his story and why it was that he wanted to adopt Sohrab. When Amir was done speaking, Raymond Andrews stated harshly to Amir, “‘Give it up.’” This took Amir back. Raymond Andrews harshly went over all of the opsticals that Amir would have to go through to be able to adopt Sohrab, giving Amir little hope.  Amir responses to this with, “‘What are you saying, that I should throw him back on the streets?’, (Hosseini, 331).Amir continues to make a final plea. Their conversation becomes very tense at this point as Amir asked Raymond Andrews, “ ‘Do you have children?’ (Hosseini, 331). ” Mr. Andrews then asked Amir, “ ‘Have you promised this child you’ll take him with you?’ (Hosseini, 331). ” Nearing the end of their conversation Raymond Andrews gives Amir a business card to an immigration lawyer. Amir leaves very frustrated with this interaction.
