Week 2, POST A

In the kite runner this week i noticed many other cultural differences. One that was very noticable this week was the way Baba felt about Amir not wanting to play sports. Baba wanted Amir to be an athlete like him, but Amir was not talented at soccer and did not have an interest in Baba's choice sport. "I'm telling you, I wasn't like that at all, and neither were any of the kids i grew up with"(22). This is a difference that american culture because most parents donnot get so worked up about if their kids cannot play sports and they for sure do not ignor their kids. This is why sports is a big part of the culture in Aphganistan wheras in America people are more concerned in other things.
