Baba used to be a man with power and very high expectations and self-respect, but there in US, he was no longer with any power and wealth.What's left is self-respect.He still loved his son Amir a lot and this was one of the reasons but not the major one that they moved to US.As he said "I didn't bring us here for me, did I?" which showed he wanted his son to have a bright future.Why he chose America is that he loved being powerful and American idea is respect achievements and power.Thus he chose move with his son to America. Of course US was the most powerful country.
Before i came to US. i thought Americans are not very friendly since i watched tons of movies about how violent americans are and how much power they want to have.I thought in US, almost everyone has a gun from being rubbed on the street.However , here in Kent, almost everyone is friendly and glad to help each other.They even greet strangers on street which we don't do that in China.Seeing is believing.That's is what my experence told me.
