Baba likes America, he says only the America is the “True Man” in the world and he definitely loves the ideas of America. But he has sometimes doubts about America. We can see that when he said “What kind of country is this? No one trusts anybody!” I think he just try to adjust with a new life but he still like America. And what I can see from chapter 11 that he is very proud of his son, Amir.
When I was home and I was thinking about America and Americans I was a little scared. Maybe because I was thinking that they are not so friendly and sociably. But now my thought is different. They are friendly, not all of them but many of them are friendly, sociably and they just want to help you. I have a good impression about America, maybe this is not so good because every person is different and I think someday I’ll be disappointed. I’m disappointed just for food because is not healthy and for school. Here the college it’s like high school in my country.

This book was written in 1980s,I think there is must a big different in people from past and present. I totally agree with your idea in junk food. Before I came here, somebody told me that "if you can't cook, you will die due to starvation." It was exaggerated but really scared me.
ReplyDeleteLiu, just to clarify - the book was written (or published) in 2003; this part of the book is set in the 1980s.
