Hassan proves to be a christ figure once more by being "one last sacrifice for [Amir]...He knew [he] betrayed him and yet he was rescuing [Amir] once again, maybe for the last time."
It "rained the afternoon Baba took Ali and Hassan to the bus station.." sybolizing a new beginning. Not necessarily for Hassan because i think what's done is done for him, but for Amir and Baba. They will be the only company for eachother now and in the next chapter we descover they are making their way to America to start a new way of life, to make a new beginning because "America was different." Amir describes America as "a river, roaring along unmindful of the past. [He] could wade into this river, let [his] sins drown to the bottom...Some place with no ghosts, nomemories, and no sins." So even though Amir's past still haunted him he planned to forget his memories and move
Hassan isn't the only one taking the blame for Amir any more! Amir has become fond of a girl named Soraya and when he thinks about the gossipers staring their way as the talked he became aware that "she would bear the brunt of that poison, not [him]." The poison referring to the dirty looks.
