Chapter 12 starts with Amir finally gathering courage to chat to Soraya, who he is clearly madly in love with.They have a nice conversation about the book Soraya is reading, Wuthering Heights, and Amir is introduced to Soraya`s mother Jamila. Soraya almost tells Amir that she wishes to become a teacher in the future while Amir promises her that he will let her read one of his stories.
Baba becomes really sick in this chapter and Amir takes him to the doctor. Baba really hates the doctor which is understandable because a lot of people do too. After his doctor visit it turns out that Baba has cancer and he refuses to go to chemo,which makes Amir very upset because he really does love his father.
Learning Baba has cancer made me quite upset because as much as he ignores Amir sometimes, it has helped shape Amir into a such a great person.It also made me sad because there are people who die from cancer all the time, and people who try to fight it and win. So with Baba refusing the treatment that could help him win the fight ,he just flat out refuses.
The chapter ends with Baba asking Soraya's father if Amir can marry her,And he says yes. This,of course, makes Amir very happy.
