because he feel guilty about fathering.

Baba feels as if he has failed in creating a "perfect" son - a son who is exactly like he was. Amir is the complete opposite of Baba in his childhood: Amir didn't do anything physical, he didn't stand up for anything, he was weak and cowardly. This shames Baba.

Does this sentence make sense. Amir always tries to ingratiate to Baba to make his father love him more than Hassan. Especially is the word ingratiate used correctly?

No it isn't used correctly. Plus, the pronouns aren't clear as to who is being referenced. Amir always tries to ingratiate himself with Baba's father to make him love him more than his cousin, Hassan. (the last 'his' refers back to Baba's father, so him, him, and his need clarified more) Amir always tried to ingratiate himself with Baba to make Baba's father love him more Baba's father loved Amir's cousin, Hassan. (love him-- who is him? does it refer to Amir, Baba or Hassan?) Think about the exact person Amir is trying to "ingratiate himself to", then see if you can use names more than pronouns. When a name appears, the first pronoun after that refers directly to THAT person. Again, use more names and make sure to sort out the pronouns and make sure each pronoun refers directly back to the person's name.

Two examples of what amir remembers about his father's loyalty to hassan which now makes sense?

He remembers that Baba never forgot Hassan's birthday and that on one of Hassan's birthdays, Baba paid to have Hassan's harelip surgically fixed. Amir recalls when he asked Baba if they could get new servants, Baba had gotten furious and yelled at Amir. He had said Hassan and Ali are part of their family and they are not going anywhere. He also remembers that when Hassan and Ali left, Baba wept and wept.
