The author uses structure in chapter 7 to build suspense and let the reader make their own conclusions about what's happening and let them create the scene for themselves. Which makes it worse in a way, leaving out information and cutting away from what's happening causes the reader to become anxious.
The things that the Hosseini cuts away too are memories of Amir's that he's thinking about at the time, that he's focusing on to extract himself from what's happening and again this makes it worse because it builds suspense, a sense of impending doom is present throughout the chapter and it's frustrating for the reader.
The cut to the section where it compares Hassan to a lamb, or at least Amir perceiving Hassan as being like one, helps you to understand the guilt that Amir feels and shows a lot about Hassan's character and their relationship. Relevant because this is an important scene in the story and that helps to build a sense of character and answer questions the reader has.
