Annotation #5
In this quote, Hosseini is using figurative language to represent the lack of privacy in Afghanistan. Amir wasn't actually "naked" in this scene, but he feels "naked" because he feels like the Taliban is looking right through him. This is not uncommon either because the Taliban has many restrictions on the Afghans and the Afghans were constantly under observation to make sure that they abide by the rules set by the Taliban.

I liked the analysis of the word "naked"; the connection between Amir feeling naked is insightful. I also like the fact that you took the annotation a step further, talking about the Talibans in general. This analysis was able to help create a general image of the Talibans in Afghanistan.
