Baba and Amir's relationship hold many similarities to the relationship between Soraya and her father. Both father have certain expectations for their children to uphold, and they are high expectations to guide them towards success. Although, they also judge their children, and disagree with them as well.  They disagree with their professions, and wish they would seek out a more profitable job. Although, their connection to their children is very strong and special, and their fathers are the reason for why they are married in the first place.

Amir and Baba had an odd relationship. Amir idolized Baba but oftentimes Baba was disappointed in Amir and his actions and interests. Soraya and her fathers relationship was strenuous. She tended to disagree with her fathers beliefs and wanted to be on her own path. She still loves her father and appreciates how he saved her from Virginia but still has a strained relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba were not very close with one another. Baba set standards and Amir feels as if he doesn't live up to them and his father's expectation. With everything he does, Amir just wants to get approval from his father and not be seen as the reason his wife is no longer alive. Amir feels as if he lets his father down which is similar to Soraya. However, Soraya has her own career she wants to follow but does not care that her dad doesn't approve of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya and her father carry a relationship that is similar to the relationship Baba and Amir share. Both fathers look out for their children and tell them that they should not follow their dreams. Soraya wants to follow her dream, but her father said no and Amir wants to be a writer, and was told not to study in college to become one. Wanting the children to take on successful jobs with the least amount of risks financially, both fathers want the best for their children.

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between Amir and his father is very strong as time progresses. However, their relationship compared to Soraya's is similar because they both expect a lot from their children. Soraya often disagreed with her father's beliefs and ideas, and the General was very strict compared to Baba.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba had a decent relationship but were not very close. His father did not understand Amir because he was not like him in the ways he wanted him to be. Amir was always seeking approval and forgiveness for killing his mother.
Soraya and her father's relationship is similar because she wants to follow a career path her father does not understand or approve of. She does not look up to her father the way Amir does.

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya and her father exhibit a much different relationship than Amir and Baba. Amir tends to try and get Baba to understand him and he tries to connect with him but the chemistry doesn't seem to click. Their struggles between going to Afghanistan and United States, aided them in having a closer relationship than they had before.  Where as Soraya and her father have a disagreement and aren't willing to agree upon the same idea. Soraya doesn't want to pursue the same career path her dad wants her too and this creates disagreement. One is trying to build a relationship with their father while the other is breaking it.

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya and her father's relationship differ from Amir and Baba's relationship. Amir tries to constantly seek approval and acceptance from his father. Soraya is not to proud or fond of her father. She is not afraid to hide her disappointment of her father whereas Amir will do everything he can to live up to his father's expectations. Both their fathers are strong, high class individuals who expect a lot out of their children. Without their fathers they would not have met each other changing Amir's love life. Moving to America and having Baba introduce him to the General and her daughter sparked that love interest.

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya and her father, and Amir and Baba share similar qualities within their relationships. Both relationships has a contradiction of characters; for example, Baba and Amir don't agree on most activities and their personalities don't go well, for Amir is timid while Baba is brave, the same goes for Soraya and her father. Their fathers typically disapprove of what they are doing; for instance, Soraya wants to be a teacher and Amir wants to be an author, but both fathers want them to follow a career path that will earn a lot of profit and fit gender/traditional stereotypes such as becoming an engineer or nurse. Without the fathers, Amir and Soraya would've not met. Baba would've not taken Amir to America and introduce him to the General and his daughter, and Soraya would've not been able to marry Amir without his father's consent. The fathers teach them important life lessons of blood and ancestry as well as tradition for them to enjoy their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya and her father, compared to Amir and his father, both hold similarities in the expectations of their children. Baba and the General want their children to be successful and strong people, but with an underlying feeling of being presented as a trophy or achievement instead of being a human being. Amir and Soraya also have done things to wrong their parents, but both try to patch up the wounds by being better for them emotionally. These relationships are important to Soraya and Amir because they can both have someone to confide their thoughts and emotions into (Even if Amir will not let go his darkest secret) and have common ground with beliefs because of the similar backgrounds they have. In a sense, both characters have learned how to open up to both their fathers, and thus, to each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Soraya and her father's relationship is similar to Amir and Baba's. Both of them have fathers that do not really provide the best support towards their kids. Soraya and Amir try their best to make their parents proud of them, but some how it never works. Soraya and Amir are also similar in a way because they have done things to disappoint their parents at a period in time, but they both try to to things to make up for them.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's relationship differs from Soraya and her father's relationship. Soraya isn't as fond of her father as Amir. Like the time Soraya ran away and her father had to get her back, and she started screaming about how she hated him. Amir seems to care more about Baba than Soraya to her father. Amir wants Baba to be proud of him. Both parents want their child to have a different job than they want to have. Baba is hard working and won't accept welfare in America. While Soraya's father refuses to work and accepts federal financial help in America.

# data[].attributes.body
They both seems to have a strict father and were heavily influenced by them. Amir kind of admired his father and wish to be recognized and approved by him when Amir was a kid. He look up to his father. Soraya on the other hand may have a less pleasant relationship with her father, disagreeing with him a lot. Soraya and her father have very different value and view on things, especially on Soraya's life.

# data[].attributes.body
Both have different personalities as compared to their dad. However
Soraya unlike Amir doesn't care about her fathers approval of her. Soraya would disagree with her father whereas Amir wants everything to go correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Both Soraya and Amir's fathers have high expectations for their children. Both the fathers are opposite of their children in terms of their personality. Both their fathers typically disapprove of everything their children are doing but they do want what's best for them. Both fathers want Amir and Soraya to follow their own paths that would fit into their vision of a perfect child. For example, something that satisfies their stereotypical/traditional gender roles.
But at the end of the day both Amir and Soraya's fathers want what's best for their children and they want them to enjoy their lives.

Baba and Amir's escape was very hair raising. They had to secretly leave in the middle of the night and get on a truck for Pakistan. I feel that this is a significant moment for the two of them because they have gone from a position of wealth and protection to a position of a refugee. For them, changing homes is a major move, because they are relocating from a place they have known their whole lives and they are entering the unknown.

# data[].attributes.body
Their escape was important and their true forms are shown. It was hard to leave but it also marks a new beginning for them. It would be a hard new life that these two will have to get accustomed to but they manage.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape from their home was rushed and sudden. This is a significant moment because this would alter Amir and Baba's lives forever. Their home, exclusive status among society, and surrounding people would disappear. Eventually, once they reach america, they struggle to meet ends and don't live the same luxurious life they once did in Kabul. Each character will have to fit into a new society, and accept change.

# data[].attributes.body
Baba and Amir's escape from their home is very hectic and there are many key moments that show both Baba and Amir's characters. There were deaths that occurred on the trip, both people of young and old age, as well as many threats like the soldier almost raping a woman for entrance to the country, and not being able to continue the  journey because of the broken truck. Both Baba and Amir risked their lives for the move, but this  will allow for more opportunities and a safer life.

# data[].attributes.body
The way they left was very hasty or unplanned. In general the move was not smooth. Baba was almost shot by the Russian guard for saving a woman from rape. Amir wanted to leave behind what happened to Hassan so he also wanted to leave

# data[].attributes.body
Their escape was troubled. Baba loved his homeland and was very much attached to it. Amir was not as attached and also wanted to leave to escape the memory of Hassan. It was difficult for Baba to travel because he had to stick up for what was right and risked his life to save a woman being threatened. One at their new location, Baba and Amir were doing ok because they still knew a lot of people at their new location and the customs were very similar, along with the language. Going to America was very different. Baba was not happy that few people spoke his language. Also, the customs were very different. In Afghanistan, we could buy naan for example and pay back later. When he was unable to do so at the convenience store, threw a fit. The adjustment was not as difficult for amir.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Amir and Baba's escape was very unexpected. They both did not know that they were going to end up leaving their home, to find a new one. This is a significant moment for them because it means a lot of change is going to happen to both of their lives. Baba is going to have to experience finding a job, a way to make a living for him and Amir in that new environment, without Hassan. Amir does not take this journey too well because he starts to feel sick, and he also has nobody else to look forward to seeing or talking to, other than his father. This new environment in California means a lot to the both of them because they will experience a lot of change and real life obstacles.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba escape was very quick and occurred suddenly. From being considered a higher class people, with a wealthy social class and living life with luxury, they have all of this taken away and have to move to America. From never having to work, Amir's father works very hard working long hours to be able to pay for everything. And the transition for the family to fit into a culture they are unaware of also creates struggles.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape from their home was extremely intense and traumatic for the both of them. It was very hard for Baba to have to leave his home that he worked so hard for and his country which was a part of him. Both Amir and his father did not want to leave their home but were forced to for their own safety so it made leaving Kabul even harder. they were both faced with numerous challenges
going to america, like how Baba risked his life to protect a woman. They both found some comfort in the fact that they knew some people who also had to leave Kabul but no one in America spoke the same language as them and many people did not have the same culture as them.

# data[].attributes.body
Their escape trip was not the best. Amir is getting sick from the ride, they had the minimal amount of belongings and they ran into many problems. Baba gets threatened to be shot and their lives are all at stake. They can't trust anyone and have to mainly only focus on themselves for survival. Even after they get to where they need to be, baba and Amir are going to be in a completely new environment and will have to learn to adjust to s different lifestyle.

# data[].attributes.body
Baba and Amir's escape from their home was chaotic. Amir wanted to put the memory of Hassan behind him . This escape was not expected and kind of rushed as their belongings were thrown into one suitcase and then had to leave. It is significant because they lose all if what they have known in their class of society and for Baba it becomes a drastic change in class. Amir gets to forget his horrible memories and begin to move on.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape was very bumpy and unpleasant. There were many things that happened along the way that could have prevented them from successfully escaping. (Like the truck can't be repaired and the Russian soldier). This means a new way of life for both of them. They're no longer wealthy and really well off. Baba has to work at a gas station. For Baba, it is the end of the lifestyle he had for so long. For Amir, it is the beginning of a new life and he's no longer burdened by what he's done. Their escape was good for Amir, bad for Baba.

The escape from their home was very chaotic and intense. It was sudden and rushed and for a very serious reason which makes it scary as well. They did not want to their home. Baba has memories of his wife and life before Amir at this house and leaving that would be like leaving her behind for good. Amir is leaving behind all of his memories of Hassan, who was one his best friend that he recently drove away despite his devoted loyalty. They both go from a wealthy lavish lifestyle to having close to nothing. This will change anyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape from their home was very chaotic and frantic as they were not ready to leave their home. It all happened very fast, and it changed everything for them. Their family went from being very wealthy to barely surviving. They had trouble getting accustomed to their new lives in America because as one would imagine, it is probably very hard to go from being very wealthy to almost on the brink of poverty.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape from their home was very sudden and sad. It kind of reminded me of the holocaust. You could only grab so much before you are forced out of your house. It was a significant moment for them because they had lost everything; they went from having all this wealth and being in an upper class to instantly being at a lower class with no money in an unknown place. For Baba this move was tragic because he lost everything and is now working as an auto repair job. For Amir this move was amazing because he graduated high school, got accepted into a college, and is climbing his way up the ladder.

# data[].attributes.body
Amir and Baba's escape from home was traumatic: the conditions to escape were terrible, they reduced their needs and wants into one suitcase, and they had to deal with dangerous obstacles in order to escape to freedom. They lost everything they had from wealth, family, and even a part of themselves; especially Baba. Baba didn't accustom to America that well, for he was used to the traditions he had in Afghanistan. He downgraded from one of the wealthiest men in Afghanistan to a blue-collar job in California. Amir fit in well; he graduated high school, got admitted to college, and onto his way to becoming an adult. He speaks fluently in English, and apologizes for whenever Baba misbehaves or doesn't act "American."

Rahim Khan tells him this because he wants Rahim to understand that not everything goes as planned. He uses the story of his close friend who was of a lower class being shipped away to illustrate this. Its actually more important to the storyline that just to Amir because it makes him realize that he may lose Hassan if he does not speak up. It also puts into perspective for Amir the importance of valuing people while they are still there. It also makes Amir question whether Rahim knows his secret because the story he told was so parallel to his own.

# data[].attributes.body
This statement is important because it affirms that Amir and Hassan can never truly be friends because of how society views Hazaras. In their society, Hazaras are of a lower class and looked down upon. No matter how Hassan is loyal to and protects Amir, there will be something that separates them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Rahim uses that as a way to justify what he did to Homaira. Amir might also find this to way of justification helpful. He could use it to suppress his feeling of guilt.

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan tells Amir this because of his observations on how the world works. Things happen to people for a reason yet we have no control over what happens as that is up to the world. This is important to Amir because he is at a point in his life where he is unsure and guilty about his friend Hassan and how he let what happened happen. There is always something greater that is going to win out or have a tighter grip on a situation. The world manages to figure out a way to out smart, out think or out do someone making itself always win. Rahim didn't end up with the love of his life and Amir is losing with this feeling of grief and guilt.

# data[].attributes.body
This statement is very important to Amir at this point in the novel because of the current state he is in, both in his surroundings and in his own head. Amir is built up with grief, and he is beside himself when he thinks of what happened to Hassan, and how he did nothing to stop it. The world always finds a way to make things happen, and it can sometimes be unfair and it can sometimes become an advantage. Rahim Khan lost against the world, and he did not end up with the woman he loved even though it was probably for the better. Amir is in a current state where he is losing against the world, and its stereotypes and how its society works. It will either turn out for the better, or continue to be unfair. But as Rahim says, "That's just the way of things."

# data[].attributes.body
The statement is very important because Rahim Khan wants to tell Amir that regardless of what you do, the world will try to bring you down. Relates to Amir and Hassan's relationship. If Amir lets bad things happen to Hassan, his relationship with him will break.

# data[].attributes.body
The statement by Rahim Khan is important to Amir because it is telling him that not all that you want/ is planned will happen or go as your want. Rahim has had a first hand experience with this when his father sent off Homaira and her family to Hazarajat.  Rahim and Homaira were close and her being sent off was the last thing he wanted but his life still went on and he is okay. He wants to teach Amir that even if things don't go as planned don't just shut down and thinks everything over and to keep going on because everything will work itself out in the end.

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan tells Amir "And I'll tell you this, Amir Jan: in the end, the world always wins" to imply that the world works in its own ways and that you have no control over it. This is significantly important to Amir, because if he put this advice in his perspective, he realized that he didn't have control over the struggles he and Hassan went through.

Rahim is telling amir this because he wats him to learn that people get what they deserve

# data[].attributes.body
The statement Rahim Khan tells Amir significantly impacts him because both Rahim and Amir undergo struggles throughout their lives, such as Rahim's lost true love and Amir's unspoken secret. Rahim Khan believes the world has its own way, everything is predestined. It portrays the belief of fate. And so, when Rahim Khan tells Amir this story, Amir feels intimidated and uncomfortable. He feels uncomfortable that Rahim Khan might've knew something is going on after telling his story. He is uncertain if he should tell him because at the end, the world will end up doing so.

# data[].attributes.body
The statement give Amir an excuse or explanation to what happen to Hassan and what Amir did to him in the end. It basically says that what happen to Hassan is not Amir's fault. It is just the way of things, and Amir is not responsible to what happened. This may cause Amir to shut up about Hassan later when Rahim Khan ask him if there is anything he want to share. Amir, although still feel guilty and sad, now may feel better about what he did, even though it is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
The statement is important to Amir because world may not always be a just place, and you just have to face the adversity head on

# data[].attributes.body
I believe Rahim tell's Amir this statement because I feel like Rahim has gone through a lot of obstacles in his life. You never know what may happen in certain situations, they some what just happen. Just like he said "the world always wins" I think it's just the way life goes. It is not like one knows or plans everything that's going to happen the next day. This statement is important to Amir because he knows everything that has happened to Hassan, yet nobody knows nothing. He still feels trapped in his own guilt for not doing anything to save Hassan. He agrees that the world does win, and sometimes there is no way to stop it, even if he wanted to.

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan tells Amir this statement because he wants Amir to know that despite everything you do, the world will find a way to get what it wants. Rahim also wants Amir to be open with him, so he can help him as well. This statement is important to Amir because it helps ease the struggles that he has faced so far knowing that someone has his back. Amir almost feels he can confide in someone about his secrets after this exchange with Rahim. However, he is hesitant because he is scared of what Rahim would think of him.

# data[].attributes.body
Rahim Khan tells Amir this statement because he knows that he lives in a society that has a strong stance on morality and justice, and this applies to the world. Wherever he would go, the world will always go against him and Homaira, and he would always remain internally bitter about what could never be. Telling this to Amir is to serve a point that Rahim Khan himself has submitted himself as an unfair subordinate to the world's whims and that Amir should learn now than later. This statement is important to Amir because he is going against the world just as much because of his cowardly nature. Even if he grew out of his timid way of thinking, it would not change the way the world works, and thus he is really one person going against impossible odds.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this statement is important to Amir because I feel like Rahim is telling him that everyone always gets what they deserve and eventually everything works itself out. By saying that the world always wins Rahim is indicating that while outside forces may present obstacles for him, everything always happens for a reason. I think this is important to him because Amir really needs something bigger than himself to believe in. With everything going on in Amir's life and all the grief he is carrying from the rape he needs something or needs to believe in something to help him cope and get through it.

This quote explains how society is the judge of what is right and wrong and how you react to certain obstacles. It is explaining that whether ever you do whether you think its right or wrong, the world will always agree of differ with your opinion and they would be considered correct not you. No matter how much you agree with yourself the truth that you know isn't the same as the world views different ideas as..

# data[].attributes.body
Through all the obstacles that Rahim faces this is the conclusion he comes to telling Amir that the world wins. Whether true or not Amir is scared that his unspoken secret is out there.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Rahim said that to Amir is because no matter what a person does try to do something to get rid of someone or something, the person or object will always fond their way back to the person that wanted to get rid of it in the first place.

Rahim Khan told Amir this statement because he wants to warn him that nothing really goes as you plan. The world always wins because everyone is always open to heartbreak, and pain while the world is a cruel place that likes to pick at your insecurities whenever it can. Rahim was once close enough to someone of a lower class to consider her his "sister" and then his father shipped her away and Rahim never saw her again. Similar to Rahim's situation, Amir is also close to someone of a lower class who he can consider a "brother" and now what happened the Rahim could happen to Amir.
