Hannah, I really your explanation on how the reader is experiencing many of the same emotions as Sirajuddin. If I can build off of this, the string of questions that Sirajuddin wonders also puts the same impact on the reader as we were not aware of these questions before Sirajuddin wondered them. As such, the author’s choice to ask them all consecutively also gives the reader a sense of wild wonder as we also are forced to consider these many questions quickly without any answers.
