“I
feel
like
a
tourist
in
my
own
country.”
“You
still
think
of
this
place
as
your
country?”
He
pointed
to
an
old
man
wearing
ragged
clothes
trudging
down
a
dirt
path
.
.
.
“That’s
the
real
Afghanistan
.
.
.
That’s
the
Afghanistan
I
know.
You?
You’ve
always
been
a
tourist
here,
you
just
didn’t
know
it.”

this
conversation
between
Amir
and
Farid,
the
man
who
is
driving
him
to
Kabul,

What
does
Farid
think
of
Amir?
Is
his
assessment
of
Amir
fair?
Explain.
“You
are
an
honorable
man,
Amir
agha,
a
true
Afghan.”
I
cringed
inside
(238).
Why
does
Amir
cringe
at
the
compliment?
Explain
the
following:
Amir’s
dream
(239‐240)
Amir’s
anticipation
of
returning
to
Kabul
(240‐242)
Amir’s
reaction
to
seeing
Kabul
again

Why
does
Farid
want
to
kill
the
man
at
