7、17/130,Introduction,The 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 po
8、pular 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
9、 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 s
10、till 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 de
11、scribing 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 eff
12、ectively 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 ti
13、mepiece 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
14、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 i
15、t 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
16、 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 advance
