Before Baba came to America, he had a good image about the U.S. At the beginning of chapter 11, he described America as "the brash savior" and one of three real men in the world. However,
he found out that his idea of America was different from the reality. The environment around the Bay Area is terrible for him. Also, when he entered the grocery store, he got mad to Nguyens because he was asked to show his ID. It's because he was very rich and had authority in Kabul, but his power didn't work any more in the U.S. Therefore, he had a frustration about that.
In my case, I thought that every American is friendly and overweight, also America is very dengerous place like everyone has a gun or knife. But it was of course not. There are so many kinds of people in the U.S. and it is not as danger as my expectation.
