assignment 5 Tiantian

At the beginning of Chapter 11, Amir said that his father loved the idea of America. What’s that mean? It may means that he loved the country’s daring. Undoubtedly, Baba loved America, because he upheld strong country. “There are only three real men in the world, Amir”(page 125) is what Baba said to Amir, and he though that America was one of them. He though that people in America took action instead of just wringing their hands (page 126). This is one example to prove that Baba loved America.
However, America was more difficult to be adapted than Baba though before. There is one example, which happened when they bought something. Baba had written Mr. Nguyen a check and Mr. Nguyen had asked for an ID (Page 127). Baba quarreled with him, because he though Mr. Nguyen didn’t trust him and looked him as a thief. At that time, we could figure out that Baba didn’t adapted America very well. Baba lived in Afghanistan for a long time and he was famous and rich in Afghanistan. However, he moved to America and rebuilt his new life without his wealth and renown. It was hard and even he was already old. So, He love America, but he couldn’t fit it as soon as possible.
I could adapt America very well, and it may because that I was young, and I was familiar with America when I was in China. In the modern society, we can know what we want to know through TV programs and suffering on-line. People have more opportunities to learn what were others counties like. Those may be why I can fit America very well.
