In the character descriptions preceding the play, Jim is described as a "nice, ordinary, young man." He is the emissary from the world of normality. Yet this ordinary and simple person, seemingly out of place with the other characters, plays an important role in the climax of the play.
The audience is forewarned of Jim's character even before he makes his first appearance. Tom tells Amanda that the long-awaited gentleman caller is soon to come. Tom refers to Jim as a plain person, someone over whom there is no need to make a fuss. He earns only slightly more than does Tom and can in no way be compared to the magnificent gentlemen callers that Amanda used to have.
Jim's plainness is seen in his every action. He is interested in sports and does not understand Tom's more illusory ambitions to escape from the warehouse. His conversation shows him to be quite ordinary and plain. Thus, while Jim is the long-awaited gentleman caller, he is not a prize except in Laura's mind.
The ordinary aspect of Jim's character seems to come to life in his conversation with Laura. But it is contact with the ordinary that Laura needs. Thus it is not surprising that the ordinary seems to Laura to be the essence of magnificence. And since Laura had known Jim in high school when he was the all-American boy, she could never bring herself to look on him now in any way other than exceptional. He is the one boy that she has had a crush on. He is her ideal.

In Afghanistan, Amir and Baba’s relationship is strained. Baba doesn’t fully accept Amir, he views him as different, and the lack of similarities he sees from himself to Amir make Amir seem like an outsider. For example, Baba is a strong, brave man, while Amir chows signs of cowardice in many aspects of his life. In Afghanistan, there is little to no communication between the two characters, and Amir must find comfort in Rahim Khan, instead of his own father.In America, all of this changes. This change in their relationship could be a metaphor for the change in Afghanistan, the change of cultures, or the internal change Amir will go through, but it is a change regardless. The first this we see change is Amir takes a much larger role in his father’s life. Now he must watch over his father, like when Baba destroys the gas station store, and when he eventually gets cancer. Amir’s accomplishments seem to make Baba more proud, also. Back in Afghanistan, they only time Baba was ever really proud of Amir was when he won the kite tournament, a feat that Baba was more interested in Amir winning than Amir was. But in America, Amir’s accomplishments, like graduating form high school and going to college, are looked upon highly by Baba. Lastly, the communication barrier between Amir and Baba is finally broken down, the two seem to be able to talk more freely to each other, and Baba seems to respond to Amir more openly then he ever would have in Afghanistan.
