comment on Jose


Jose’s reaction on his latest reading of then novel retains the same ideas I had when reading. Thus I cannot but help comment and add on to some inferences he made. Jose I really like how you characterized Amir as not being the bad guy. Even thought most people would continue to hate Amir I for once am convinced that he has grown out of his childlike self character. He no longer expects things to be given to him - he now works for his success, helps his father overcome his situation with life in the United States and thus causes him to build on towards the relationship they previously had together.  I agree “Amir is usually the one being taken care of,” but now he is stepping up to he plate and taking on that roll. I really liked how you tied his change of behavior with his relationship with his father. The reason he is able to build on towards there relationship is solely because of his change in behavior. Amir’s hard work in college has caused Baba to be proud of him, furthermore they now spend time with each other. Life itself in the United States doesn’t seem to be as good as in Afghanistan, but one positive aspect you can take from this is the increase of a father and son relationship.
