Chapter 8 !

 In this chapter Amir begs Baba to go to Jalalabad (a town in eastern Afghanistan)
Amir is hoping it's just him and Baba going but he invites all of his extended family, making Amir upset because he just wants to spend time with him.
 I can understand Amir's desire to spend time with his father.My dad works in Toronto and is gone early in the morning and doesn't get back till late at night, so i don't get to spend a lot of time with him during the week.
 Amir also turns 13 in this chapter (the year being 1976), and Baba decided to throw a HUGE party for Amir.

"Baba's motto about throwing parties was this: invite the whole world or it's not a party." -pg99

Amir doesn't enjoy himself because he really doesn't know anyone at all.
 This is relate-able to a lot of kids because parents are always trying to out-do each other with the parties they throw for there own kids. The only difference being that most kids have their friends , not people they don't know.
