This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Read The Kite Runner , by Khaled Hosseini

The reader get a feeling from reading the book that Amir thinks it is fair that he doesn’t have a child. Why do you think he thinks that?

Your answer:

He has a sense of order in the universe that almost makes this slight suffering transferable.

He doesn’t deserve to have one

It is fair that he doesn’t have a kid because he is not worthy

He blames Soraya for not having a child.

Answer: It is fair that he doesn’t have a kid because he is not worthy

Step-by-step explanation:

Amir feels ruthless guilt for his previous selfishness, especially regarding Hassan. When he marries Soraya, his guilt is met with their inability to have a child, but Amir thinks that the sins from his past are the reason he doesn´t deserve to have a child. He even refuses to adopt, because "perhaps something, someone, somewhere, had decided to deny me fatherhood for the things I had done. Maybe this was my punishment, and perhaps justly so".
