Assignment #2

Amir's relationship with his father:

In order to chapters 3 & 4 i understood that Amir and his father doesn't have a good relationship.Always Amir was unsatisfied from his father like when he said "I was always learning things about baba from other people" or when he said " I always remembered all the times he didn't come home until after dark, all the times i ate dinner alone". Also when he told his father "I'd written a story, baba nedded and gave a thin smile that conveyed little more than feigned interest".he just said "well,that's very good,isn't it? and noting more".Then Amir said "As always, it was Rahin khan who rescued me and called me Amir jan!baba hardly ever used the term of endearment jan when he addressed me".Amir wished Rahim khan had been my father.Because he always felt why his dad hated him!"and why not? After all, i had killed his beloved wife, his beautiful pricess. hadn't I"?So it seems there wasn't close relationship our healthy relationship between Amir and his father.!

  1. That is completely right. I definitly agree with you. Their relationship is so far away from a father and son relationship.

  2. Anna, I agree with you too. But I wish you would share more about your own thoughts and use less of the text - you only need to show two examples from the text. You should combine these excerpts with your own writing about the question.
