Why Did Baba Not Want Chemotherapy
Baba did not want chemotherapy. I think he was tired of life and just wanted to die. Chemotherapy would have made his life longer. Also, I think he was tired of all the lies, betrayals, awkwardness, and sadness in his life. I also believe that is why he started smoking-to relieve the pain. It would also allow him to die faster. In fact he had cancer due to his smoking addiction. (71 words).

    Imagine you are Amir and you are to give a eulogy during Baba’s funeral. Write your eulogy (a speech in praise of a person who has just died usually delivered during the funeral).

    Baba was the most hard-working person that I have ever met. He worked hard at his career, at being a good father, friend and member of the society. Growing up, I always feared that I didn’t make my father proud and that I would always be a failure in his eyes. Luckily for me, before he died I got to hear him say he was proud of me. My father had the highest expectations of me being his son, but he never imposed his will on me. He allowed me become the man that I wanted to be.…

    Summary Of Khaled Hosseini's 'The Kite Runner'

    Baba is a brave man who is trapped between what he wants to be and what he is expected to be by others. He has two sons although he keeps his illegitimate son distant even though he treats him well he doesn’t get to have his name or support. Babas other son, Amir, never lives up to the expectations that Baba has set for him and that hurts Baba to the point where he begins to get upset with Amir. Baba shows incredible bravery when he stands up to the Russian soldiers who wanted to rape the women who was a passenger on the way to Pakistan. Baba gets diagnosed with cancer but refuses to take treatment because he does not want to seem weak. He also knows that the treatment won't do anything as he cannot be cured so he refuses to make himself weaker or seem even the slightest bit weak. Babas bravery comes a long way as he even moves to America so that Amir could have a better…

    How Is Baba Similar To Hassan's Life

    As I read pages 77-78, even though I didn’t like it, I found out why Amir didn’t do anything to help Hassan. All his life, he wanted to make his father proud, and he knew with the blue kite he would accomplish that. This part of the book is similar to a window. I was looking into Amir’s hardest decision in life and why he did what he did. Through Amir’s eyes, Baba’s praise was more important than Hassan’s safety. It gave me a view of hardships I never (and hope to never) experience. Hassan was put into a situation just because his job is to serve and protect Amir. It also showed me the ending of an amazing friendship. Therefore, because of Amir’s cowardliness and selfishness, his relationship with Hassan designagrated.…

    Amir Vs Baba

    Two words that characterize Baba are: fearless and leader. To be fearless means to be "possessing or exhibiting courage." To be a leader is a person that “rules, guides, or inspired others." When Amir and Baba were fleeing Kabul, he was willing to sacrifice his life to keep the Russian guard from raping a woman that was traveling with them. "… Karim cleared his throat, dropped his head. Said the soldier wanted a half hour with the lady in the back of the truck... That was when Baba stood up. It was my turn to clamp a hand on his thigh, but Baba pried it lose, snatched his leg away. When he stood, he eclipsed the moonlight. “I want you to ask this man something," Baba said. He said it to Karim but looked directly at the Russian officer. Ask him where his shame is. He says he'll enjoy putting a bullet bullet in you almost as much as..." Karim trailed off, but nodded his head toward the young woman who had caught the guard's eye. The soldier flicked his unfinished cigarette and unholstered his handgun. So this is where Baba dies, I thought. This is how it's going to happen. In my head, I said a prayer I had learned in school. "Tell him I'll take a thousand of his bullets before I let this indecency take place," Baba said.” At that moment it showed how fearless Baba was. He was willing to die for a lady they were traveling…

    Character Analysis: The Kite Runner

    Baba is an idealistic character. Throughout the book he is descried to be this morally driven person, who sees the world in black and white. Amir states that “my father molded the world around him to his liking.”(15) This would show how Baba was seen as driving force through the young Amir’s eyes. In more ways than one Baba affected the people around him. He was displayed to the soldier who donned the armor; however, he himself hid secrets. Despite knowing that Hassan was his son, he carried to his grave the truth of his birth. Not once did he tell Amir of his true relations with his son, nor did he try to attempt. In a way Baba is a hypocrite who preached that thievery is the worst of sins, but stole the opportunity for Hassan to live a better life. However with that in mind Amir did grow to atone for his sins, because he was his father’s son. In the end Amir took it upon himself to purge the sins his father started and he…

    How Does Baba Influence Amir

    In the novel “The Kite Runner,” by Khaled Hosseini, one of the main themes is the influence and importance of the father-son relationship, specifically the influence and importance that Amir’s father has on him from his early childhood all throughout his life and into his own experiences as a father. Throughout the novel, Baba, Amir’s father, guides Amir through certain events which are crucial to his coming-of-age, and does it in a way in which it is not always clear what his intentions are. Baba takes Amir out of Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion, and while not specific events, he leads Amir by example, and helps him to get out of his shell and experience America at last.…

    Sacrifice In 'The Kite Runner'

    He is not a coward nor selfish, he stands up for what he believes is right and Baba is a very brave man. This is displayed when he sacrifices his life for a woman he does not know. He stands up and says, “Tell him I’ll take a thousand of his bullets before I let this indecency take place”. (Pg. 122) This act stops a Russian soldier from raping a woman that is carrying a baby on their way to America. This shows the love Baba has in his heart to help this woman from a terrible event that would have taken place if he had not stopped it. He has shown love and sacrifice for women he does not know and that shows his good character and…
