Why can’t I forget the earnest eyes of the man who said to me in Jordan, “Until you speak Arabic, you will not understand pain”?

Ridiculous, I thought. He went on, something to do with an Arab carrying sorrow in the back of the skull that only language cracks. A few words couldn’t do it.

At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel — so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head. —“Speaking Arabic,” Naomi Shihab Nye What is Nye’s purpose in her essay?

givi [52]

The answer is this statement:

<span>Perhaps it was these desperate, bitter men in the West Stand at Arsenal who taught me how to get angry in this way; and perhaps it is why I earn some of my living as a critic - maybe it's those voices l can hear when I write.</span>
