It was raining when Baba found out he had cancer. It could symbolize a new change for Amir because his whole life he has relied on Baba and now he only has himself.
The disease matter p160 Cancer is slow and steals the life, and stealing is the greatest sin. Baba is now deteriorating and becoming frail. Baba isn't immortal, it shows he's human
Baba stands for courage and sees Amir lacks courage.
baba is hero and always steps in, but Amir is like the opposite and he feels so much guilt.

Alli gimpy leg
Hassan hair lip emotional scar
Baba cancer
Soraya birthmark and sin
Amir has no physical scars.
Why is he not marked, he has motion sickness and Baba looks at that like horrible weakness/sin. When Kamal dies and the father shoots himself Amir dry heaves and nothing comes out? Why can't he purge himself of it. Why is that significant?
