Read the excerpt from part 4 of Zeitoun.

Zeitoun had picked up and dropped off friends and relatives at the station a handful of times over the years.
Fronted by a lush lawn and palm trees, the Union Passenger Terminal had opened in 1954, an art deco-style
building once aspiring to grandness but since overtaken by a certain grey municipal malaise. There was a
whimsical candy-colored sculpture on the lawn that looked like a bunch of child's toys glued together without
reason or order.
Why does the author include this description?
to present Zeitoun as a New Orleans resident and family man
to criticize the architectural choices in downtown New Orleans
O to illustrate the grim, military realities of post-Katrina New Orleans
to show Zeitoun's discomfort in the grand downtown area
