United States is known to be a country of immigrants.Wave upon wave,people come to this land from practically all parts of the world in the course of history,to escape religious or political persecution or to seek better living conditions.,18/130,This is the reason for the popular appeal of immigrant literature in the United States.It satisfies peoples nostalgia about their past and their descendants desire to seek their roots.It also interests people of other ethnic orgins in the country to find out how their country came to be such a“melting pot”.,19/130,This is quite likely an autobiographical story.The old country involved is lebanon,a samll but important country in the Arab world.Although its capital has been known to the outside world as the“Paris of the Arab World”,at the time when the author lived in the nations mountain village as a child the nation was still basically a traditional economically backward agricultural country,which served as a glaring contrast to the United States where many Lebanese people longed to go to realize their“American Dream.”,20/130,The author does not make this contrast explicitly,but he brings it out vividly simply by describing his childhood experience in that Lebanese village.Notice that the narrative is given from a childs point of view and the humorous stories are told with a childs charming innocence.But the childs descriptions of his homeland reflect the characteristics of that traditional society just as effectively as the serious analysis of a scholar.,21/130,The author seizes upon two key words to bring out the main differences in the two societies-the one he leaves behind,and the one he emigrates to:the first word is“time”,and the second“change.”In that small mountain village people do not have a timepiece because it is not necessary,unlike in the new country where time is money and everybody is either busy making money or busy breeding money-makers.,22/130,The other thing is that,in the old society,nothing much happens.Days and years pass by,and generations come and go,all in the same old way,unlike in the new world where people are feverishly producing new things“marking progress.”,23/130,The interesting thing,however,is that the author seems to cherish his childhood memories foudly and is uncertain that he has really realized his“Amercian Dream”or really understands what it means.So it sets us thinking.Perhaps theres a lot to be said that is precious and worth rediscovering about that kind of life.,24/130,The text is entitled“The Telephone”.Today it seems to be quickly becoming a museum piece.Young people probably do not remember what an important and wonderful invention it once was.It is well chosen as the title of the text because it is true that in a way,many of the following changes of far-reaching consequences come from the installation of this little gadget.This is one of the important subjects for scholars studies,namely,the correlation between technological advances and economic,social,political,and cultural changes.,25/130,Background Information,Author,Magdaluna.Lebanon,Intermarriage in Arab countries,Communion,Arab women wear garments that cover their faces or heads,26/130,Born in Lebanon in a family whose ancestors are believed to have gone to Jerusalem in the Crusades.,While he was living in Lebanon teaching English as a

the central act of worship in many Christian churches,generally considered to be a,re-enactment,of the Last Supper,the final meal that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples before his arrest and,crucifixion,during which he gave them bread,saying,This is my body,and wine,saying,This is my blood.In the ceremony people eat bread and drink wine in the remenberance of Jesuss death.,30/130,Communion,31/130,It is common in Arab countries.The practice has come down from ancient times when the Arabs were mostly,nomadic,herdsmen who had no permenent settlements and moved with

countries,such as Saudi Arab and Yemen,women must wear such garment when they go out.,35/130,Why do Arab women cover their faces and heads?,This is,a,religious practice,not a cultural one.It is rooted in Islamic teachings about hijab,or modesty.While some say that veiling,denigrates,women,some women say it,liberates,them.Covering is not univer,s,ally observed by Muslim women and varies by region and class.Some Arab governments have,sometimes,banned or required veiling.,36/130,Lebanon and Lebanese,37/130,Lebanon,It is,a small,largely moutainous country,which is situated at the eastern edge of
