What are your expectations based on the quote "And, under the same roof, we spoke our first words. Mine was Baba. His was Amir. My name. Looking back on it now, I think the foundation for what happened in the winter of 1975 - and all that followed - was already laid in those first words."


Start your answer with: 'I expect....' and explain!
