The relationship between Amir and Baba it’s distant and not so healthy. When he talk about the speech p14 - p15, Amir is proud to have a father like Baba, p15 “When Baba ended his speech, people stood up and cheered. They clapped for a long time. Afterward, people shook his hand. Some of them tousled my hair and shook my hand too. I was so proud of Baba, of us.” Amir wants to see his father being proud of him and that’s why he try to pretending to enjoy the soccer games when is with Baba. Amir wants more, he wants Baba to be like a friend for him, and he try to talk with his father, he want to learn new things but Baba it’s always uninterested. Baba never answer when Amir wants to know something new p14 “I asked Baba why they grew their hair long, but Baba grunted, didn’t answer..” Amir wants a good relationship with his father but Baba is not proud with his son. Baba want Amir to be like him, he wants to have a strong son and when he’s in a fight or arguing Baba want Amir to self-defense.
When Amir hears the conversation between Baba and Rahim Khan , he became sad and he know that Baba he never change. From the pag 22-23 when Baba is on a conversation with Rahim Khan, we can see how Baba have bad feelings about his son. He don’t like when “he’s always buried in those books or shuffling around the house like he’s lost in some dreams”. I think their relationship is fake.
