Explanation:

Naomi Shihab Nye's "Speaking Arabic" is a short essay where the author expresses her wonder and ponders on people's need to be ethnically identified and be a part of. Being a mixed-race herself with a Palestinian father and an American mother, Nye focuses on ethnic identity and knowing and understanding one's heritage.

In the given excerpt from the short essay, Nye reveals how she saw or observed a young man "wish [he] had a heritage". And within that scene, she saw a "tall American tree dangling their thick branches right down over his head". Through this picture of a tree above a young man who wants to have/ belong to a heritage, Nye creates an image as a support for her opinion that living among various cultures is an American heritage of its own.
