What factors influence the age and speed at which your maturity occurs?

Amir

Amir experiences a delayed maturity because:

of his social capital that again restricts his access to the "real world" and having experiences that would build the emotional and mental maturity in him.

"I envied her. Her secret was out. Spoken. Dealt with. I opened my mouth and almost told her how I’d betrayed Hassan, lied, driven him out, and destroyed a forty-year relationship between Baba and Ali. But I didn’t. I suspected there were many ways in which Soraya Taheri was a better person than me. Courage was just one of them"(Hosseini 165).

of his lack of responsibilities which would build a work ethic within his that is very useful in mature life

of his wealth which at first limited his hardships, which usually result in lessons learned.

This event is seen as a crutual point in Amir's life because although he is physically very hurt, he is emotionally healed for the first time since he parted ways with Hassan.

“WHAT’S SO FUNNY?" Assef bellowed. Another rib snapped, this time left lower. What was so funny was that, for the first time since the winter of 1975, I felt at peace. I laughed because I saw that, in some hidden nook in a corner of my mind, I’d even been looking forward to this…my body was broken–just how badly I wouldn’t find out until later–but I felt healed. Healed at last. I laughed" (Hosseini 289).

Baba

Baba effectively slows Amir's maturity by:

Baba is sometimes unwilling to teach Amir the life lessons that are necessary for him to mature because Amir is different than him.

Baba slows Amir's maturity by in some ways rejecting him. Baba wishes he had a son that was less like Amir and more of a sport-man like himself.

At times, Baba makes debatable decisions that sometimes interfere with Amirs mental state.

overprotecting Amir: not letting him learn for himself through trial and error.

Hassan

Hassan is forced to mature at an earlier age because:

he experienced assault

This very moment transformed Hassans life from normal to full of fear, resulting in a loss of innocence.

"He was already turning the street corner, his rubber boots kicking up snow. He stopped, turned. He cupped his hands around his mouth. “For you a thousand times over!" he said. Then he smiled his Hassan smile and disappeared around the corner"(Hosseini 67).

His social class (the hazara) is greatly discriminated against, resulting in a lack of social capital

his life is simple yet hard

Sohrab

Sohrab is forced to mature quickly and at a young age because:

Sohrab's guilt from nearly killing a man contributes to his young emotional growth.

He sees his family killed, so his normal life ended and his new abnormal life forced him to mature quickly. He has an absence of familial capital.

Even though his parents are gone, Sohrab is mature enough to use his parents teachings to remember them.
