Baba as a Dynamic Character

"Besides, I didn't bring us here for me, did I?" pg. 130
The Baba of America is a changed man. When Amir was young, he hardly ever showed him affection. However, here in America, everything Baba does is for Amir. Baba left his home to give Amir a better life. He is a lowly gas station clerk because it will give his son a better future. This is a huge shift from the beginning of the story. In addition, even when he was practically on his death bed, he helped Amir get married by performing the customs that were expected of a father. This endless love for Amir was not always present and it was a huge change in his character.
