How does Naomi Shahib Nye (author of “mint snowball) feel about the story she’s telling? How do you know?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

In her story, Nye tells of her family heritage of a recipe for Mint Snowball which her great-grandfather was known for. In the story, she gets angry because that recipe was sold to someone else and she never tasted of her great-grandfather's mint snowball.

I know because of the comment she made while narrating the story. Below is an excerpt from the story:

Perhaps the clue to my entire personality connects to the lost Mint Snowball.

I have always felt out-of-step with my environment, disjointed in the modern

world. The crisp flush of cities makes me weep. Strip centers, poodle grooming, and take-out Thai. I am angry over lost department stores, wistful for something I have never tasted or seen.

Explanation:

"Mint Snowball" is a story by Naomi Shihab Nye. She is a poet, songwriter, and novelist.
