Chapter 10 shows that Baba and Amir's relationship is back to normal, and the glory of winning the kite tournament was short lived. If I was Amir i would feel even worse now, because getting the kite from Hassan didn't even benefit their relationship in the long run.
I thought the bit where Baba is nearly killed is really really well written, as is the rest of the book but i like how even in the face of death Amir still struggles to voice his opinion to his father - "Do you have to always be the hero?"
Although, saying this, Amir doesn't exactly try hard to stop Baba, he tugs on his shirt and tells him he's going to get shot but only tries once, and i'd like to think that most people would try a little harder to save their parent, especially if they've already lost one.
Also, after "the gun roared", his thoughts aren't exactly normal in my opinion; "it's done then" isn't a reaction i would have expected....
