Response to Bianca's blog-Amir and Hassan's friendship

Bianca goes into detail about the confusing friendship of Hassan and Amir in The Kite Runner. In her blog, she tells us, when Amir forced Ali and Hassan to leave, it wasn't an act of selfishness it was an act of loyalty. In her blog she states,

Even though all of this happened, Amir was finally able to protect Hassan for the better of his future. Driving Hassan and Ali away seemed like a harsh attempt to rid Amir of the cause of his guilt, but underneath it all, it was a road to freedom, away from the harsh views of the neighboring people and of the bad memories. By forcing Hassan to admit that he stole something, Ali and Hassan were given an excuse to leave Amir's home and stay safe. Starting from here, Amir was finally able to see the true value of Hassan and what he truly means to him. In a way, Amir saves Hassan's life by setting him free from the wretched environment that he lived in.

When Bianca says that Amir saves Ali and Hassan by giving them an excuse to be free, she is saying that Amir was taking the initiative to help his friend. On Amir's birthday, he receives many gifts, Baba gave him a watch while others gave a variety of gifts one in particular being money. Previous to Amir's birthday, Hassan and him have a hard time communicating again after what had happened the day they won the kite tournament. To save Hassan from the constant bullying given to him by Assef, Amir makes a plan to make Hassan move out.
He takes the watch and money, and lays it under Hassan's pillow. The next morning Amir reported the items being stolen to his father. Baba has no choice but to make Ali and Hassan move out.
Amir's act was in no way to be mistaken as terrible. What he did saved Hassan's dignity and possibly life. If Amir had not done this Hassan would have continued to be harassed by Assef, Kamal and Wali.
I believe that Amir's action was loyal to his friend Hassan even though it was not the best way to solve their problem.
