During Amir's childhood, Rahim is a
frequent visitor thanks to his friendship and
partnership with Baba , Amir's father. Baba
is a force to be reckoned with--in fact,
Rahim calls him 'Mr. Hurricane.' He is an
imposing, strong figure, full of bluster and
strong opinions. Few dare to cross him, but
Rahim has a special relationship with Baba.
Rahim is able to stand up to Baba and has
earned his respect. In Chapter 3, Rahim
tells Baba that he can be the most self-
centered person he knows. According to
Amir, Rahim Khan 'was the only person I
knew who could get away with saying
something like that to Baba.'
Father Figure to Amir
Baba, with all his intensity, success, and
strong opinions, is a difficult father to
have. Amir is forever trying to please him,
and coming up short. Enter Rahim Khan.
The man fills the role of nurturing father
figure to Amir and helps fulfill the boy's
need for acceptance and encouragement. It
is Rahim who encourages Amir's writing.
One day, Amir approaches Baba and Rahim
with a story he wrote clenched in his hands.
Baba can barely fake interest in the story,
and Amir waits hopefully, anguished, feeling
as if time has slowed down. Baba just
stares at him and does not ask to read the
story. Then Rahim steps up, asking to see
it. 'As always', Amir says, 'it was Rahim
Khan who rescued me.'
Later, Rahim gives Amir a note praising the
story and stating 'God has granted you a
special talent.' Amir is so pleased with
Rahim's reaction that he (guiltily) admits to
wishing Rahim Khan were his father. The
note ends with Rahim telling Amir, 'I shall
hear any story you have to tell. Bravo.' This
kind of encouragement is what Amir has
always been lacking in his relationship with
Baba.
