I didn't feel comfortable about it" this conveys the message that tom is both afraid and uncertain of where his new life may take him.
Also, Baba’s stubbornness is clearly shown in two examples in the passage. The first is when he demands that Amir tells no one about his condition. The second is exemplified when Baba chain-smokes in front of the television the rest of the day, despite the circumstances of his condition.
