Among the many life lessons in the book, the most prominent is, by far, the idea that one should make up for one’s past mistakes. Throughout the book, Amir’s experiences, mistakes, and revelations highlight the life lesson embedded within every chapter. For example, Amir’s best friend and servant, always stands up for Amir, but when it’s time for Amir to stand up for Hassan, he abandons him when Hassan needs him most. As a result, Hassan gets sexually abused. Amir attempts to forget what he has done, but the guilt forces him to attempt to get Hassan kicked out. This leads to their friendship dying and Amir’s guilt increasing. Later, in America, Amir yet again attempts to bury the past and move on, but he is haunted by his sins. Finding a way to redeem himself, Amir returns to Afghanistan to find Hassan dead, and Hassan’s son missing. In order to find Hassan’s son, he endures a severe beating from the same person that abused Hassan. After finding Hassan’s son, Amir finds he looks like his father, Hassan, and adopts him. By doing this, he finds peace again. Through Amir’s experiences, readers can learn a valuable lesson about guilt. Amir’s two failed attempts to bury his past show us that we shouldn’t bury the past because it always comes back. As a result of attempted burials, his past mistakes seep into the very fabric of his life.

Returning to his old high school after having had graduate ten years ago, Shamus Rahman Khan came in with one goal: to study the inequality of a school that claims to be more “diverse.” St. Paul’s School located in Concord, New Hampshire claims to have become more diverse over the years, accepting people of different racial backgrounds and social classes to their prestigious boarding school. However, as described in his book, Khan found that this claim made by the school is false. He also found out that the elite that used to attend his school is not the same as the elite attending it now. Nonetheless, it was the elite that were succeeding because they were the ones who could afford the school, had family linages that already attended the school, and mastered “ease” which made them privileged in society. Separating his book into five different chapters, each focusing on a different topic that helps support his claim, Khan describes this change in elite and the inequality that still accompanies St. Paul’s. In the introduction to Privilege: The Making of an Adolescent Elite at St. Paul’s School, Khan states the three most important points he will refer to during the rest of the book: hierarchies are natural and can be used to one’s advantage, experiences matter more than inherited qualities, and the elite signal their status through ease and openness. These are discussed thoroughly in throughout Privilege.
