1)Amir dismisses his birthday gifts as he believes that they have been payed for with blood money. He believes that people wouldn't have been as extravagant if he hadn't have won the kite fighting tournament. As Hassan got raped from refusing to give up Assef's blue kite, he cant stand them. When he received his present off Ali and Hassan he felt unworthy to receive it and even had to hide it at the bottom of the pile.
2)Amir decides to frame Hassan for the theft of his birthday presents including money, and his new watch that Baba got him.
3) The consequence of this decision is that Hassan informs Ali that Amir witnessed the rape and didn't do or say anything in his defence. As a result of this they both decide to leave, Baba takes this badly, pleading with them to stay, but they both leave regarless.
4)Baba's reaction to Ali and Hassan's decision is startling, because earlier in the novel, Baba deemed stealing as completely unacceptable and inexcusable.Therefor him being so willing to forgive Hassan's supposed "stealing" is very shocking.
5)The final lines of the chapter are poetic as they reflect the sadness that occurs within the chapter itself.
