In class writing

1. Fig tree: homesickness. it is the missing of home and culture in the poem. It is father's belief and all other people's belief in Arabic. "plucking his fruits like ripe tokens, emblems, assurance of a world that was always his own."

2. Coffee: expressing culture. It represent who these people are and what they stand for. "a motion of faith. There is this,

and there is more."

3. Grandmother: seize the loss missing for past. It is the person who author wants yo meet again, and it represent all the people's will to meet others who had pasted away. "Where we live in the world is never one place."
