Assignment#2. Chapters 3 and 4

Amir and his father had a distant relationship. Baba and Amir had aloofness between them. The reason of this aloofness is Baba. Baba had this because Amir was not like him and Baba wanted to Amir just like him. But he was not like his father. Besides, Amir was like his mother a bit. He loves to read books and poems. They had an unhealty relationship between them. They were not close enough as a father and son should be. We can understand this from the words Amir, He says : " it wasn't often Baba talked to me, let alone on his lap and I'd been a fool to waste it". Also, another reason that shows us it was not a healthy relationship, Amir was accusing himself because of the death of his mother. And stealing his father's beloved wife. He says: "After all, I had killed his beloved wife, his beautiful princess, hadn't I?". That could be the reason of aloofness between them. Baba kows that was not Amir's fault, but he could not help himself to think that way.
