In what position did Amir stand after heading to America? Was it a mistake that later led to further situations, problems and misfortune in the story. Did Amir and his father Babba’s decisions lead to them having worse problem that they would have had in Kabul Pakistan their homeland?
Not only did the move to the United States change the lifestyle for Amir and his father Babba began to live and the work effort and sweat they gave to live, but not living well enough as compared to what they had in the beginning of the story. Babba was one of the wealthiest people in the land in Kabul. Having a big house and a lifestyle to fit the best. Once they arrived in the United States, have to work very hard in earning all the income that they would be receiving throught their life. In the United States not only did Babba have to work earning income throught the week at a liquor store. He felt that it was necessary for him to go to earn extra money to survive and live well by him and Amir, in weekends to far lands to find cheap trinkets to later sell on other weekends at a local swap meet. The life style had also changed by seeing and interacting with people that Babba was not accustomed to being with, conversing, and having moments in which they were together. An example that demonstrates this is on page 132 “I don’t care where he was born he’s Russie.” Claimed Babba
Not only was the change of locations bad for Amir but it was also bad for the people that were back in hometown Kabul. If they (Amir and his Babba) had stayed, the house in Pakistan would be occupied with people in it. If the house was occupied it would not be necessary for Rahim Khan to take care of the house. Rahim Khan felt as if he was not up to the expectations that the house needed to be take care of, so he asked Hassan to help him. Hassan, his wife and their son went to the house and lived there, until they were later attacked. Would Hassan have lived and not gone through pain if Amir and Babba had stayed?
