The description of his home? The description of his home might be elaborated in order to illustrate the opulence in which he lived.... this type of shelter is not one we generally expect to hear about in Afghanistan. It doesn't fit with the pictures we envision in our minds or see on the news. Thus, it is important for the reader to understand Amir's youth and Baba's accomplishments in order to understand better the changes brought into their lives.
