We learn about all the great works Baba does in the beginning of the book before we know about his sin. I wonder if Baba is only building orphanages, taking care of Ali, standing up for others, etc. to redeem himself. I wonder if Baba is more like Amir and is distant b/c Amir reminds him of his own shortcomings. ]]> 2017-02-07 15:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rtussey/KR1/wish/152174530 pslayden2019 https://padlet.com/rtussey/KR1/wish/152177005 If the author is trying to change the perspective of people on Muslims after 9/11, why did he present Afghanistan in such a negative light and violence
