Rahim is more of a father figure in Amir’s life than Baba is; Rahim always comes up behind Amir when Amir needs someone. Baba never has anything to do with Amir unless Amir is successful with something. I also agree with Allie because Baba did love his wife, but he also loved Amir until Amir grew up differently than Baba did. Baba grew up in sports and his very tough; however, Amir is not that tough and isn’t very interested in sports.Aaron H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05540417993047344110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-18487852819560080032009-03-31T09:29:00.002-07:002009-03-31T09:29:00.002-07:00Baba doesnt really act like a father figure toward...Baba doesnt really act like a father figure towards amir but he does toward Hassan and Ali kinda acts like a father figure toward Amirddenton76https://www.blogger.com/profile/07895233555538755252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-43729658617029830462009-03-31T09:29:00.001-07:002009-03-31T09:29:00.001-07:00i think that everyone respects Baba but no one res...i think that everyone respects Baba but no one respects Ali the call him the boogeymanBrianWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545130573018418128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-86137801940786918542009-03-31T09:29:00.000-07:002009-03-31T09:29:00.000-07:00I agree with allie, when she said that Baba probab...I agree with allie, when she said that Baba probably looks down upon Amir because Baba loved his wife and when he looks at Amir Baba, probably thinks about how if he was never here then his wife would have never died a and thats probably why he likes hassan more, it may have nothing to do with sports.KaleighDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241595546400985108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-5003623513216485172009-03-31T09:28:00.005-07:002009-03-31T09:28:00.005-07:00Rahim is definitely a better role model than Baba,...Rahim is definitely a better role model than Baba, but Amir still looks up to Baba because he needs his appreciation.Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545246628935335081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-18640496048203344712009-03-31T09:28:00.004-07:002009-03-31T09:28:00.004-07:00I agree with Jake with how she said, when your tal...I agree with Jake with how she said, when your talking to someone, you always say "my house" not "my parents house."

I think that one of the main reasons that Amir doesn't consider Hassan his friend is because he feels the competeition between them and Baba. Because Baba acts that Hassan is more of his son then Amir and that makes Amir envious of Hassan which results in them not being considered "true friends."KaleighDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02241595546400985108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-63094799483931725732009-03-31T09:26:00.003-07:002009-03-31T09:26:00.003-07:00I think that Amir is a little jealous of Baba beca...I think that Amir is a little jealous of Baba because Amir wants to be successful just like Baba.

Now he cares about money and tries to fill the hole of his wife's death with it. Also, Amir reminds him everyday of her and how she died, which does not help. On the other hand, I think Ali realizes this and tries to be a father to Amir as well as Hassan, but he is careful to love them evenly.KatieWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06196660559838459141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-54712043930438596662009-03-31T09:25:00.005-07:002009-03-31T09:25:00.005-07:00Also, I agree with George because Baba does love h...Also, I agree with George because Baba does love his son but shows it in a different way.

Their relationship is a more loving relationship than Amir's with his father. I think that Amir is jealous of a lot of things about Hassan and thats probably why he feels he needs to be superior and always teases and pulls pranks on Hassan. It makes him feel better about himself.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18379536724508083852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7347117263762377354.post-48244319776552534952009-03-31T09:24:00.003-07:002009-03-31T09:24:00.003-07:00i agree with george that the story amir wrote was ...i agree with george that the story amir wrote was realy about baba and how he can never be fufiledBrianWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545130573018418128noreply@blogger.com
