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.
