From the first four chapters, I know Amir and Baba are totally different people. They have different character and hobby. Baba is a reputable businessman with ambition and braveness in Kabul, and he likes business and soccer. On the contrary, as his son, Amir is cowardly and likes writing fictions.Obviously their relationship is not very good and Baba thinks his son is talentless.
First, in Amir's heart, he also thinks his Baba hates him, because his mother died when he was born. It's shown in page 19, it said" I always felt like Baba hated me a little. And why not? After all, I had killed his beloved life, his beautiful princess, hadn't I? " Secondly, Baba think his son is socowardly and his son made him disappointed. We can know it in page 22, when Baba talked with his friend, He said"A boy who won't stand up for himself becomes a man who can't stand up to anything." They aslo have much difference in hobbies. Amir cannot play soccer well despite the fact that his father pin his hopes on him. In page 20, Amir wrote " But Baba sensed my lack of genuine interest and resigned himself to the bleak fact that his son was never going to either play or watch soccer.
To sum up, I got that the relationship between Amir and his father is not healthy. There is a gap between them.

I totally agree with your post. It is true that there is a gap between them and that baba is trying to make amir more like him, "the Hurricane", who all wins whatever he sets his mind upon.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good conclusion for the relationship between Baba and Amir. From what you said I can see their feeling to each other.
