Domicile

Amir has always thought of his house in Afghanistan as his real domicile because that is where he grew up and made most of his memories. When Amir returns to Afghanistan he does not recognize it at all and feels that he is just another tourist. Farid tells Amir that he has "always been a tourist here, you just didn't know it" (232) because he never went to the parts that were poor but only stayed by his house that was in the wealthier part of Afghanistan.

Empathy

Amir feels empathy when he finds out that Rahim Khan is ill. Amir wishes that he can do something because he feels bad that Rahim is dying and feels for him, but the only thing that Amir can do is "pray for him every day"(217) and hope that  he returns from Pakistan he will have good news about his illness.

Bibliophile

Amir reads books when ever he has free time which makes him a bibliophile. When Amir reads it helps him forget what is going on around him. Not only does Amir love to read books when ever he can but he also loves to write book because he categorizes himself as "i'm a writer" (235) because he has written and published books in the past.

facade

The white house and the capital were built to facade on the same street. When they were constructing the white house and the Capital the builders purposefully made the two buildings face each other.

cerebral

Photography is considered a cerebral process. When you take photos you are basing it off of what you know will look good not what you are feeling. 

recapitulation

When you write a long paper you must be able to write a recapitulation in your conclusion. In the conclusion you must summarize what the key points in your paper were and restate the thesis.

deface

Every day people break the law when they deface private property with graffiti. When you walk by and see the pictures others have made with graffiti you sometimes think about how cool and good it looks but you know that who ever drew it could get in a lot of trouble.
