kite runner chapter10&11

Baba likes the idea of America because he thought America, Britain and Israel were three countries with own opinion and ambitions, they could do some active actions rather than just talk about unpractical idea. In his opinion, other countries were like gossiping old wamen--only chart about others and hard on the heels of the three countries. Baba liked Reaga, the man with ambitions, who took action instead of wringing his heads. It hints that Baba admired the people who could took action. It is the point of idea of America,which Baba liked.

The reality was fardifferent from what Baba thought. Baba thought that he would get peace and safety in America. I don't know whether he got or not.But I think that Baba got a potential sense of strange and upset. Baba had a tough time of adjusting America. He thought that everybody trusts each other in America, just like what people did in Kabul. He felt insulted by asking to see his license.

As a international student in America, I also experienced a tough time to adjusting the life in America. Obviously, it is really different from what I thought.It is more beautiful and bigger than my imagination.The people are fervidly and friendly. But some culture difference made me
feel sad. The way of having class is so different.The opinion what Americans thought is so different.
