The idea and reality of America

In the whole chapter 10 and the beginning of chapter 11, Amir’s Baba really likes America for following reasons.
First of all, through the discussion with Hassan’s father, he thinks America’s living standard is much better than Afghan, and this is one of the important reason that he decides to move to America.
Secondly, Baba is not regular person who has no interest in politics and willing to live without faith, he thinks that America is one of the three real men in this world.
But the reality world in America is tough; Baba is so self-respect, which makes their life even tougher. Baba end humiliating food stamp is a pretty good proven
In some particular situations, even Baba already moves to America for about two years, he still not adjusts to the life in America after two-year, he was embarrassed when he was trying to buy some vegetables without ID, the couple who opened the grocery don’t understand him and thought he’s crazy (beginning of page 128) and Baba thinks this is unreasonable at the same time. (What kind of a country is this? No one trusts anybody!)
He refused to go to the ESL school to improve his English is another typical Certification that shows Baba is resistant to change his style to adjust America.
