In the first 4 chapters of Kite Runner, I think Amir and his father almost have a healthy relationship. Although in the second chapter there is a paragraph describe about Amir and his father showing that his father is very stern to him, they still love each other.
One of the most important factor is that Baba talk with his son truth. In the third chapter, Baba and Amir had a conversation which was about the sin that Amir learned at school. After Amir told hid father that drinking is sin, his father propped him up to his lap and said “do you want to know what your father thinks about sin?"(16 page) Then, he taught Amir about sin. In addition, Amir love and fear his father as everyone. He want his father only belong to him when his father played with the children in orphanage and Hassan. However, he is not brave enough to change their relationship to very closely, because he was afraid of his father. This is a normal emotion in every family.
On the other hand, Amir is a little weak. He is interested in literature especially poetry. He don’t like soccer as others’ young boys. Also, he can’t protect himself when his neighborhood tease him. However. his father want him to read books about business, play soccer and at least he can self-defense. Baba disappointed to Amir for a lot of things even he doubted if Amir is his real son. Consequently, his father always disappoint him and they have different characteristics, he run the different ways.
In conclusion, Amir and Baba have several different opinions. They like different things and they have different dreams. Amir have him own talent which is about literature. However Baba like a normal man, he is energetic and a little self-centered. And also, he don’t know how to be a good father and he don’t know encourage is better than comment.
