My roots

story telling Look, Listen & Say

A. Look at the picture and the caption below. How do you feel looking at the photo? Why do you think people take ruch risks to go home to celebrate Eld?

I’m afraid of seeing this photo. People take such risk because of the pull of their roots meaning their family behind. It expresses their passion for going home on Eid occasion.


B. Read the following text.

Eid is the main religious festival of the Muslims in Bangladesh. Eid means happiness. Eveyone wants to share this happiness with near and dear ones. So most of the people who are living outside their homes for different reasons have a strong desire to get back home during the Eid vacation. As a result, there is a mad rush to board buses, trains, or launches for going home. This often causes report accidents that take away many lives. However, these cannot stop people from going home to meet their family, in-laws, or friends. What makes people tugh for their homes in spite of serious hazarda? This is nothing but people's desire to return to the roots. Do human beings have not like the trees? The answer is yes' but unlike the roots of the trees they are invisible, they lie in our minds. It's these roots that make a bond between us and family members, in-laws, friends, neighbours or even between us and the land where we were born and grew up. In that sense our families, our land of birth, relatives, our culture, traditions, or surroundings are our roots. And wherever we stay, we feel the power of our roots. It's our roots that develop our identity making us what we are. When we lose that bond, we become rootless. Human beings who do not have any roots are a non-entity. In other words, they do not have an identity. They don't know where they are from, and/or where they are heading to. This often makes them feel empty and lost.
