As I was reading the beginning of chapter three, I realized my mother was exactly as Amir had described about Afghanistan's, their tendency to exaggerate. Amir had given an example that this kid had passed his biology test and his parents were already telling everyone that there son was a doctor. Like my mother and my aunts , they exaggerate like there was no tomorrow. There was a day when I started drawling and painting a lot , but my drawings were people with huge heads and flowers that looked like scribbles. My mother started to tell all of my family that I was going to be an artist, because all I did was spend my time drawling. I told my mother I drawled a lot because I didn't know who to draw so i practiced allot so I could get better at it. Furthermore, I got accepted to the People to People Ambassadors Program to travel to Greece, Italy and France and my mother told her family and friends that I had paid 50,000 dollars and that I went to every part of Europe, When I only paid 7,000 dollars and went to 3 countries. I believe every parent exaggerates about their child. In Afghanistan, Mexico, and even here parents always twitch some things about their children, because they're so excited about what their starting to develop or become. Exaggeration happens to all cultures especially mine and as well as Amir's people.

ReplyDeleteWe all exagerate over little things in our lives but it is our choice to react or not react.
