Compare and Contrast the Movie to the Book

1. What's noticeably absent from the movie that you think should be in the movie and why?

The part that is noticeably absent from the film is the part where Baba has the attack while Amir and him were at the marketplace. In the book the doctor told Baba he had cancer and than Amir and Baba drove home and Baba demanded that Amir not tell anyone that he has cancer. Than Baba had the attack in he marketplace and thats how everyone found out that he had cancer. In the film the doctors tell Baba that he has cancer and than it just shows Baba on a hospital bed with Soraya's family in the room. The movie should have followed the book in that part because that changes who Baba is. Baba did not want anyone to find out about his cancer but in the film they already know once he has the cancer. He does this because he has a strong personality and he doesn't want people to see that he is weak, he has his honor and pride. Some examples in which Baba shows that he is strong is when Amir and Baba were going to get food stamps and Baba rejected the food stamps.
