I am studying the theme of sacrifice in The Kite Runner. What quotes within the novel support the different ways in which the theme is explored?

There are a variety of themes within the story but one
predominant theme would be that of sacrifice and redemption. The relationship between
Hassan and Amir features much sacrifice, especially on the part of Hassan, who does
everything to keep Amir safe and comfortable. Hassan goes through so much trouble due to
his loyalty to his friend, who is also actually his brother. While running a kite that
Amir won, Hassan encounters Assef, the neighborhood bully. Assef asked for the kite but
Hassan resisted knowing well that nothing good would come out of his resistance, and at
this point he sacrificed himself to please Amir.

I had one last chance to make a decision. One
final opportunity to decide who I was going to be. I could step into that alley, stand
up for Hassan—the way he’d stepped up for me all those times in the past—and accept
whatever would happen to me. Or I could
run.

Hassan sacrificed
himself again when Amir set him up as a thief. Amir hid his watch and some money under
Hassan’s pillow, the items are discovered, and although Hassan knows that he is being
framed by his friend, he still pleads guilty.

Baba came right out and asked. “Did you steal
that money? Did you steal Amir’s watch, Hassan?”

Hassan’s
reply was a single word, delivered in a thin, raspy voice:
“Yes.”

After several years of
carrying the burden of guilt, Amir seeks redemption, and he tries and eventually
succeeds in saving Hassan’s child from Assef after much sacrifice on his
part.

Come. There is a way to be good
again, Rahim Khan had said on the phone just before hanging up. Said it in
passing, almost as an afterthought.

A way to be good
again.
