Both fathers are important and influential men in the text; Baba is a rich and important businessman, And General Taheri,Soraya’s father, is an important military leader. They are both hard on their children, Amir was never good or powerful enough for Baba and when Soraya ran off with her boyfriend her father had her tracked her down and brought home. However Soraya does not seem to seek her father’s approval as keenly as Amir does. While Amir longs for his father’s love, Soraya rebels against her’s.

Soraya and her father have a rough relationship: Her father is a welfare check taker, as he is too prideful to take in a menial job since he was literally a General in Afghanistan. He also gets drunk, and has health issues on a daily basis. As for Baba and Amir, their relationship is at least better; though different, both characters get along well. Both fathers are still very strict.

The relationship between Soraya and her father is very similar to the relationship between Amir and his father. The General does not understand when he finds Soraya living with her past boyfriend.

Both Amir and Soraya have difficult relationships with their fathers. However, as they mature Amir and Baba are becoming more close as are Soraya and her father. As a respected Afghani, Soraya's father expects her to follow the traditional customs and marry and have children, however, she is not able to bear children so it comes to crossroads with destiny vs. choice. But with Amir and Baba, it is more of a negligence of Baba toward his son, rather than him being superior/dominant of customs.

Amir and Soraya share a strained relationship with their fathers. Amir grew up vastly different from Baba and was a source of shame to him back in Afghanistan. Baba has not been able to accept the differences between his son and him, causing their relationship to be damaged. As for Soraya, her decision to run off damaged her family's reputation and caused them all grief. For this, her father has not forgiven her.

The relationship between Amir and His father and Soraya and her father have two different lives, perspectives. Amir and Baba for the most of their in lives lived in Afghanistan where they were high in social class and did not have to work as much. On the other hand Soraya and her father were different they lived in poverty.

Considering that Amir and Soraya have such different backgrounds, their relationships with their fathers are different as well. Amir and his father, although being among the higher class were unable to develop a real bond. With Soraya and her father however, they encountered many obstacles throughout their life which only made them stronger.

Soraya's father and Baba are similar because they are both considered important leaders. Baba was a wealthy business man while General Taheri was a military leader. They are both strict towards their children and have high expectations.  In the beginning, Amir didn't get along with Baba for some time but towards the end, they begin to bond because of the marriage and his illness. With Soraya, the relationship with her father never grew.

Soraya and her father didn't get along that well at first but throughout her's and Amir's marriage, she and her father became closer. And same for Amir. Amir and Baba did not have many similar interests and growing up, that hurt Amir. Once Amir and his father moved to America, Baba got sick. Eventually Baba realized that Amir is his own person and he should love him unconditionally regardless of their differences. These relationships with their fathers makes Amir and Soraya similar in a way. The relationship with their fathers was a factor that morphed them into who they are which is similar and allowed them to get along because of these vital, mutual relationships in their life.

Amir and baba were wealthy in Afghanistan, while Soraya lives in poverty and has to rely on welfare. This difference helps to shape them and Amir truly learns about Soraya's family after he marries her. It also shows that Amir does not care too much about money, as he didn't take money into consideration when marrying her. Both have very strict fathers and have to live with their expectations

Both Soraya and Amir have a similar relationship  with their fathers in the sense that they are both Important men who are strict. Baba always had a strong set of moral rules when it came to Amir and Soraya obviously disobeyed her father and didn't agree with his values because she had run away. After Soraya and Amir's marriage, they seem to have a better relationship with their respective fathers.

Amir and Baba's escape from their home means a lot to them because they were so used to life in Afghanistan. It takes Baba longer to get used to life in America because he is used to being treated very well because he was in the upper class of Afghanistan. People in Afghanistan also trusted him because everyone knew him and he felt people were hostile towards him even though it was just normal. Changing homes means Amir and Baba are in a completely different environment and they have to change their mindsets to fit in.

Amir and Baba has more of a "tough love" relationship. Baba is 'mean' to Amir but Amir looks up to Baba highly.

Amir and Baba's journey is not only one that tests their physical endurance but their emotional endurance as well. They persist through many horrible aspects only to arrive in America to a life that is far worse than the one they left, despite the lack of social castes.

# data[].attributes.body
The rough journey Baba and Amir were forced to endure is thoroughly depicted throughout the text. Them escaping Afghanistan is a significant moment because they are essentially leaving everything they've ever known to go into the world of the unknown. For Amir, this means leaving his kites, toys, and friends and for Baba this means leaving all his well-developed relationships and business associations to start a new, only hoping that they would survive. Throughout the course of their escape from their home, both of them are forced to have a shift in perspective of life and a change in their day-to-day priorities.

Amir and Baba left Afghanistan because of the social changes as well as it becoming more dangerous. It is significant because it allows them to start all over again but they must deal with adapting and starting over in this new place.

The change in their environment for both Amir and Hassan played a significant role in the development of the novel. Amir and Baba's escape meant a fresh start to their live in America, and a change in Baba's lifestyle, friends, family and loved ones. While Amir thought of it as escape from the reality of his old home in Afghanistan, and after their move they realize that they only have each other's support to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like it was similar to escaping social persecution . And Baba had not agreed with how individuals were in that society so they escaped.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape from their home was a major twist in the plot. Baba was in a higher social class in afghanistan. Everyone valued him and had a sense of respect for him and Amir. After moving to America he faced a lot of troubles that he did not have to face when he was in Afghanistan. For Amir it was escaping about what happened, and moving on.

When Amir and Baba escape from their home it is like a new beginning for them. It is a significant moment because Baba did not want to leave his home because he would have to leave his business behind, but Amir was fine with leaving. Amir feels like that he would be leaving a terrible secret he kept behind

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba escaped their home and eventually ended up in the U.S. Along the way, a soldier tries to rape a married woman but Babe won't allow it. The soldier reacts by almost killing Baba but it doesn't happen. This shows a big difference in character between Baba and Amir. Baba is courageous for sticking up for the woman, whom he barely knew, against a soldier but Amir is a coward for all the things he's done to Hassan, his best friend. Amir looks at this move as an escape from past events that have negatively affected him. He feels as though this move is in a way the rebirth of his mind. But Amir soon realizes that memories don't just disappear, "the world always wins". For Baba, the move is a complete flip of lifestyle, social class, and everything in between for them. Baba is now living in a home that he would have given a servant when before some called his home in Afghanistan, "the prettiest home".

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya's father and Amir's father were both very powerful beings. They were both strict and very superior when it came to taking care of their children. Amir was never really able to have a connection with Baba. With Soraya and her father, they usually fought a lot and were not able to come to an agreement especially when she ran off. These guardians are extremely important for both Amir and Soraya, because they both want to be just like them and are like their role models.

This transition to America is a hope for a better life. Baba and Amir hope to avoid the harsh social constructs of their old home and live in a place without prejudice. Baba reveals that the move to America was mainly for Amir. He even invests in a new car for Amir and makes sure he is taken care of. Amir is introduced to college and his ambitions to become a writer surface in front of Baba. Even though Baba disapproves, Amir continues with his pursuit of a writing degree. Amir seems to be escaping all his bad memories as well.

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between Amir and his father and Soraya and her father is somewhat similar - strained, tensed. Both men are very traditional and have certain expectations for their children. Baba expects Amir to stand up for himself and have a "mean streak". Also General Taheri wants Soraya to marry a guy he would accept.

# data[].attributes.body
Coming to America meant Amir and Baba were getting a chance at a fresh start. In leaving behind Afghanistan, they left behind their home, jobs, and friends. This is especially significant for Amir because he may get a chance to amend his relationship with Baba. Baba had always complained that Amir did not fit in with the norms in Afghanistan. Now that they are leaving the country, Amir has a chance to redeem himself by making a living in America.

# data[].attributes.body
Baba and Amir escaped from Afghanistan because there were many changes in the country that Baba didn't like, so he decided to go to America. This was a big moment because Amir and Baba would have to restart their lives in the country, and they wouldn't be as high class as they were in Afghanistan.

Amir and Baba’s escape from their home was secretive and dangerous, no one except for Rahim Khan knew they were leaving. They were risking everything they had to leave because they had no other choice either that or stay and risk being killed in the war. This is significant in the story because both of them are leaving behind the lifestyle in Afghanistan for a complete change in the US. However for Amir it is a chance at a new life possibly guilt free, but for Baba he is leaving his home behind.

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan saying this to Amir shows the true power of social classes of his area. "The world" is referring to their version of a caste system and how relationships, romantic or not, between different social classes are perceived by their society

# data[].attributes.body
When Rahim Khan makes this statement, I feel that it becomes a foreshadowing of events in the novel, indicating justice to Hassan's situation. This statement is important to Amir because at this point in the novel Amir feels that the world is this dark place of terrible occurrences, so this one statement by Rahim Khan gives Amir faith in the world again and hopeful for justice for Hassan.

# data[].attributes.body
This passage shows a first hand experience of how much of an impact Social Class has on the events that have and will occur in the novel. It shows that this is an unavoidable factor. Even though it is seems like a pessimistic outlook, it is just the reality that Amir and everyone else has to face. Rahim Khan is just trying to get the point across that theres no way around the prejudices of social class and any attempt made to circumvent it is futile. It is important to Amir because he is dealing with a difficult situation and is not able to fully understand what he should do or should have done. It helps him understand even if it isn't the greatest conclusion to come to.

# data[].attributes.body
I would describe Amir and Baba's escape from their home lucky because it is hard for people to escape a place like Kabul. It is a significant moment for them because coming to America meant that Amir and Baba were welcomed to new opportunities but, it also means giving up the world they know.

# data[].attributes.body
Their escape provides a significant change to Amir and Baba's lives. They would experience a completely different lifestyle in a foreign place and would have to adapt to their new separation from Hassan and Ali.

# data[].attributes.body
When Rahim Kahn says the "world always wins" he is trying to tell Amir that social class always wins out. I think this because he is talking about a Hazara girl he fell in love with and how they were torn about because of class. He is trying to tell Amir that eventually Amir and Hassan will not be that close. Which helps Amir because it makes him feel slightly better about the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
The statement that Rahim Khan tells Amir is significant to his life in many ways. It proves to Amir that no matter how hard you try to ignore or avoid the truth, the world is always going to win. The social structure of their community cannot be changed, and their will always be people that disagree with your opinions or beliefs. In Amir's life, these differences cost him his friendship with Hassan and broke him as a person. Rahim Khan serves as a important figure in Amir's life and in a way he is attempting to comfort Amir from his innermost struggles.

# data[].attributes.body
In coming to America, Amir and Baba opened up opportunities for themselves that weren't present Afghanistan. It also gives them a fresh start and lets them escape from the hardship back home.

# data[].attributes.body
This statement is very important to Amir. After seeing the rape of Hassan Amir does realize what is going around him, in his enviroment. The world will continue to influence everyone wether it be in a postive or negative way. They will continue to discriminate based on someone's social class and even their religion. That is what Amir realizes that this will go on because not everyone will agree to the same  idea. They will be conflicts and disagreements. The world will make what it wants happen because of the people and their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and his father do not connect in a way a father and son is suppose to. Same with Soraya and her father are exactly the same. They are not close at all. Both their relationship is tough and not connected.

you can't ever win in the world. And it's important because of the social tensions between Amir and Hassans social class. It's also important because of the rape of Hassan

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan tells Amir "in the the end, the world always wins" because it signifies the the role of the environment in what happens around us. This alludes to the social norm during the time of having different social classes. It shows some people are better off than others. This is important to Amir because according to the "world" Amir should have an easier time and his friend, Hassan, should have a difficult time. This can make Amir stand up for Hassan like Hassan stands up for him all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan told Amir that the world always wins to tell him how society has a way of controlling people and it always gets its way. This is important to Amir because it discourages him to stand up for Hassan.

Amir and Baba's escape from their home would be described as dramatic, emotional, saddening, and drastic. The sudden shift from a peaceful, non police state Kabul to an authoritarian communist government proved too much for both Amir and Baba to handle. Their voyage was significant as they had to leave the only home they knew and move to the United States. They left behind all their wealth and belongings only to climb down the socioeconomic ladder in the United States. For Baba, changing homes was unsuitable for him. He missed his old home and longed to return. For Amir, however, moving represented a new opportunity to start anew.

# data[].attributes.body
When Rahim Khan says this, I think he means that eventually the majority will usually prevail on an issue. Specifically in the book, the Pashtuns are an ethnic majority and the Hazaras are the minority, and even though Amir does not face problems because he is a Pashtun, we can see that he clearly is in conflict with this problem, since Hassan is a Hazara. In this case, the social problem is usually decided by the majority and it seems that always in the end the majority will take control of the problem.

# data[].attributes.body
Though Amir and his father were not that close back in Kabul, but after coming to the USA they shared a really close father-son relationship. Sometimes they behave like they are friends. Baba understands Amir better.
But Soraya and his father were not as close as Amir and his Baba. As in the book, it says that afghani girl are not allowed to talk about boys with their father, it shows the strictness in her father and her relationship. But a loving, protective, and caring feeling toward Soraya by her father is also seen in the story.

This quote means that the world can be unfair to you at times and go in certain directions that you do not want it to.  No matter how much you try to make it go your own way, the world always win at the end. And the fact that Hassan got raped made Rahim Khan realize that.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba after coming to America have become closer as they needed to survive together in America. Baba get a job and works hard while Soraya's father doesn't. Soraya and her father seem to not be as close as Amir and Baba. He is more stern and strict

Rahim Khan gives Amir this advice to make him wiser. No matter the circumstances, the majority will get its way. In his mind, Amir is terrified of the fact that Assef raped Hassan. However, perhaps he knows even if he tells others not enough people will care enough to act upon it because of the social injustice in Afghanistan. Amir already knows of the class difference. Having this knowledge only strengthens his fear of speaking out.
