My Father and the Fig Tree

• Father cares alot about the Figs
• It's a part of his childhood
• More talks about the figs
• When she goes to other places the figs aren't as good as they are used too
• There was never a fig where they moved
• Why don't they plant a fig tree

Blood

• Skin is peeling
• Very descriptive
• Catching flies with hands: all something that Arabs must know how to do
• Like a shooting star
• Confused on this poem

The Words Under the Words

• Allah
• Very important
• Religion very intertwined with the poem because of the presents of Allah
• Grandmother and main character

Two Countries

• Skin and how it resembles silk
• How it greys over time
• Like two countries
