Baba in chapter 3...

On Wednesday we looked at Baba and how he is represented as you already know - because it's only people in my class who will read this. But I'm hoping this doesn't get read out, because mine always does (and there's always a mistake in here somewhere)! Buuuutttt, the chances of that happening are rather slim, soo......

My favourite quotes from Chapter 3 which demonstrate Baba's characters areeeeeee:

1)     “Baba had drawn the blueprints himself despite the fact that he’d had no architectural experience at all”. I like this because I think it’s quite ambiguous. It could be seen as Baba seeing this as a personal achievement, or it could be seen as Baba being very controlling, and not wanting anyone else to take credit. 
2) ““I think I have saratan”. Cancer. Baba lifted his head from the pages flapping in the breeze. Told me I could get the soda myself, all I had to do was look in the trunk of the car”. This shows how desperate Amir is to have a relationship with his father, demonstrating that Baba’s keeping himself to himself, and at a distance from his son. 
3) “I always felt like Baba hated me a little. And why not? After all, I had killed his beloved wife, his beautiful princess”. I like this because it not only shows that Amir feels guilty, but it shows that Amir feels guilty because of the way that Baba has hinted, the way Baba acts around him. 
4) “my father molded the world around his liking” – showing the power and strength of Baba, making an impact on the whole world.
