This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

From "How I Learned English" by Gregory Djanikian.

Someone said "shin” again,

There was a wild stamping of hands on the ground,

A kicking of feet, and the fit

Of laughter overtook me too,

And that was important, as important

As Joe Barone asking me how I was

Through his tears, picking me up

And dusting me off with hands like swatters,

And though my head felt heavy,

I played on till dusk

Explanation:

Gregory Djanikian tells the story of how he felt included by having a funny moment with the other kids from the neighborhood. A foreigner, Djanikian was absolutely lost during a baseball game, not only for not knowing how to play, but also for not being fluent in English. After being hit in the forehead by the ball, Djanikian exclaims, "Oh my shin." The other kids laugh at him for using the wrong word, but they also show compassion and empathy, helping him get up and dusting him off.

the text includes parts of primary-source interviews with enslaved people to illustrate the difficulty of life on a sugar plantation in louisiana.
