Raffi Case Study

Before interviewing Rad, I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t communicate with him like other children. Recognizing the similarity of my own childhood experience with him was the key to help me comprehend our relationship better, especially help me to get closer to him. When He lost one of his favorite’s uncles who did babysitting for him in Iran, while he was in another country with his parents, as soon as they arrived home, they went to the funeral and after events in Persian culture. Then, within a month, they immigrated to The United States.

This story also paints the picture of a father who would not give up on regaining his time with his son. It shows the father desperately trying to rectify the mistrust issues he created because he stated to the boy when they were sitting in the diner after the highway patrol redirected them away from the snow-covered route home that she would never forgive him if he did not get the boy home for

Hosseini presents father and son relationships negatively at the start of the ‘’The Kite Runner’’ by addressing the constant need for a son to gain approval of his father. ‘’To have had the decency to have turned out a little more like

The transition of the boy’s opinion of his father (from exasperation at his carelessness to admiration of his free spirit) reflects a relaxation of the boy’s severity and of the story’s serious tone. Initially, the writer uses clipped phrasing during the son’s dialogue with his father – such as the blunt “I guess” (1) and the lack of the playful response “Right, doctor” (1) – to create an

In contrast with this, the most loving relationship between father and son we see is that of Hassan and Sohrab. Hassan, however, is killed, and toward the end of the novel we watch Amir trying to become a substitute father to Sohrab. Their relationship experiences its own strains as Sohrab, who is recovering from the loss of his parents and the abuse he suffered, has trouble opening up to Amir.

In Les Miserables and The Kite Runner the relationship between a father and his child is crucial to their development and growth. But their child also has a great effect on their father.

The civil war even leads to Tariq and his parents moving to Pakistan. Tariq’s father had a weak heart that could not bear the constant warfare of these warlords. For his safety and the safety of their family , they decided to move out.

1. It is very evident that Hassan and Amir have a complex relationship, that is not always compromising this could be because Hassan is a Hazara and Amir is a Pashtun, Amir having lived a life which he was always smothered with expectations of being the best and unsurpassed Amir and Hassan relationship suffers because of Amir’s need to be the best and reflects a side of Amir portraying his superiority complex. Amir doesn't see Hassan as a loyal friend, but sees him as a dumb Hazara who will never accomplish anything in life, for example we see Amir snap back with a nasty thought, after Hassan gave his input for an alternate ending for the story when the man killed his wife for wealth “A voice, cold and dark, suddenly whispered in my ear,

Furthermore, Amir forgives Baba for not telling him that Amir and Hassan are half-brothers. Hassan gets treated very well by Baba, considering he is a server at Baba’s house. Hassan gets great birthday presents, and he is always welcome to father-son activities with Amir and Baba. Sometimes Amir is jealous and doesn’t understand why Hassan gets treated the same as himself. Amir wants to be treated better, because he is Baba’s son, and Hassan is Baba’s servant. What Amir doesn’t know is that Hassan is his half-brother. Years later, Rahim Kahn tells him this when Amir visits him in Pakistan. Amir learns that a long time ago, Baba had an affair with a Hazara woman, which was socially unacceptable. Out of this affair, a child was born: Hassan. Hassan is not Ali’s son; Hassan is Baba’s son. Baba never tells Amir, and this makes Amir very angry and disappointed. For Amir, his father is a hero and not a liar. However, when Rahim Kahn explains Baba’s situation and why he acted this way, Amir starts to

Tariq is a loving caring father who did not harm their kids in any way. Tariq is not experienced, but he means well, and did nothing bad. Even Zalmai, who hated Tariq at first, now has a strong bond with his new father. Tariq is loved by his kids, but he also needs to know when to ground and punish them whenever they do something wrong. With more experience, he will be an amazing father.

Awil has no family. His parents abandoned him and fled to Yemen. This was when he joined the militia at the age of seven. When a reporter asked Awil what he enjoyed, he responded and

Simultaneously, I never had the chance to learn the sole fluent language my father knew, Bengali, and for this reason, as a child, I never had that “intimate conversation” with my father. I too mentioned only “small, obvious things” and “tried to make our conversation seem like more than an interview”, but because there was really nothing else to talk about with my father, I wasn’t able to develop a bond or that father-daughter connection with him that families normally have. As school took up most of my time, my father and I never really had the time to have a heart to heart conversation to catch up on what’s been going on with each other’s lives. Fortunately, my story is not as melancholic as Rodriguez’s because my father put an effort into getting used to the ways and culture of America where he tried to keep at least some form of relationship with me. Even though we speak in our own language (he speaking in Bengali and I in English) when communicating with each other, my father found a way not to alienate himself from his children. As for Rodriguez, it’s quite a depressing story, where he had that passionate relationship with his mother once in the past which was eventually overshadowed by “silence”.

Emile indicated that since the altercation with his father in August, his father has changed. He indicated that he is able to control his anger. He indicated that there have been no episodes between he and his father that upset him. Emile stated that he no longer feels nervous when he is with his father. The child indicated that he likes the current schedule, he stated that one weekend he spends time with his father and the next weekend is with his mother and can hang out with his friends. Emile stated that he likes to attend camp over the summer.

Amir and Baba never got along, which caused Amir to believe that all father-son relationships are like his. Amir does not understand that parents are supposed to unconditionally love their children, like the love Hassan receives from Ali. Showing the differences in Amir and Hassan’s reactions to this story due to their relationships with their fathers explains the significance of having a bond between father and son.

One of the main reasons the relationship changed for better between the father and son was initiated by the change in culture and circumstances (Mainly the war and the relationship with Hassan) due to the pair moving to the U.S.A. A relationship is fundamentally formed around circumstances. Circumstances which are commonplace in Kabul and America differ drastically therefor affecting relationships. In
