Assignment 1: Amir & Baba

According to the chapter one to four,i found an unhealthy relationgship between Amir and Baba.

They were two quite different people.They shared different interets ,Baba liked soccer,as the page20 said:"real men-real boys-palyed soccer just as baba had when he had been young"Baba wanted Amir to follow all his conceptions,about soccer ,about sin (page 17),even his characteristic (page 22).In the page 22,Baba wanted his son to inherit some qualities from him ,like ambition and self -defense.But quite the contrary,Amir liked writing story and poetry.

Those differents above lead to a bad result-they had little communication with each other.Sometimes Baba kept himself aloof from his son even if Amir wanted to have a talk with Baba.Baba always said little about Amir's good performance about his interets,in other words,there is a lack of encouragement and understanding to Amir.In the page 19,when Amir told Baba that he took on the whole class and won in the game "Battle of the poems"He thought Baba would be happy but "Baba just nodded ,muttered,'good""It also revealed in page 31,Baba 's performance disappointed Amir when Amir showed his first story to Baba. Abviously,Baba didn't encourage Amir to fufil his talent about writing.

But they loves each other.In the page 13,I saw a sentence"I wanted Baba all to myself" It comes from his little selfish as a child,because Amir loves his father.In addition,in page 15,"I was so proud of Baba"those words ,Amir thought it was a honour to have such a great Baba.

In conclusion,the ralationship between them is：unhealthy and have some misunstandings but existing love to each other.
