How does Baba gain his redemption in the novel The Kite Runner?-give at least 3-4 examples of Baba's redemptions in the novel

Baba is the true father of Hassan in the story "The Kite Runner."  He does not tell the child nor does he tell his son Amir.  Instead the boy lives with his father, Baba's servant whose wife Baba had laid with, and also works as a servant for the family.  Hassan and his father leave following Hassan's rape and Amir's setting him up by hiding his watch in Hassan's bed. 


The first act of redemention is that Baba's friend seeks out the child Hassan.  He finds Hassan who now is married and has a son.  He has him brought him back to his home his homeland into work.  The second act of redemption occurs when Amir's father, Baba, friend and confident contact Amir following his death.  He lets him know that Hassan's son is in great danger. 


The redemption occurs when Amir steps into courage and rescues the son of his brother Hassan.  Through his acts of courage it is Amir who has helped his father's redemption.  He has saved the son of Hassan and will raise the boy.
