13、l Day,i.e.the Independence Day of the United States.,This text talks about the cultural influence of a foreign culture on expatriated families.It can be divided into three parts.,Part II,(Paragraphs 4 9):The author makes a contrastive analysis of the costs and benefits of the expatriated people.,Par

14、t III,Structural analysis,General analysis,Rhetorical features,Rhetorical Features,The author of this text follows a“specific-to-general”pattern in his discussion,i.e.he first talks about what it means to his children to hang out the national flag of their native land in a foreign country on July 4t

15、h every year and then expresses his view on the importance for expatriated people in general to keep their cultural identity,especially when the whole world is undergoing a process of globalization.The specific points can be found in his discussion of the costs and benefits of raising children in a

16、foreign culture in Paragraphs 4 9 while the general conclusion can be found in Paragraphs 10 12,especially Paragraph 12.,Structural analysis,General analysis,Rhetorical features,1 Along about this time every year,as Independence Day approaches,I pull an old American flag out of a bottom drawer where

17、 it is folded away folded in a square,I admit,not the regulation triangle.Ive had it a long time and have always flown it outside on July 4.Here in Paris it hangs from a fourth-floor balcony visible from the street.Ive never seen anyone look up,but in my minds eye an American tourist may notice it a

18、nd smile,and a French passerby may be reminded of the date and the occasion that prompt its appearance.I hope so.,Detailed reading1,Detailed reading,A FRENCH FOURTH,Charles Trueheart,Detailed reading2,Detailed reading,2 For my expatriated family,too,the flag is meaningful,in part because we dont do

19、anything else to celebrate the Fourth.People dont have barbecues in Paris apartments,and most other Americans I know who have settled here suppress such outward signs of their heritage or they go back home for the summer to refuel.,3 Our children think the flag-hanging is a cool thing,and I like it

20、because it gives us a few moments of family Q&A about our citizenship.My wife and I have been away from the United States for nine years,and our children are eleven and nine,so American history is mostly something they have learned or havent learned from their parents.July 4 is one of the times when

21、 the American in me feels a twinge of unease about the great lacunae in our childrens understanding of who they are and is prompted to try to fill the gaps.Its also a time,one among many,when my thoughts turn more generally to the costs and benefits of raising children in a foreign culture.,Detailed

22、 reading3,Detailed reading,Detailed reading4,Detailed reading,4 Louise and Henry speak French fluently;they are taught in French at school,and most of their friends are French.They move from language to language,seldom mixing them up,without effort or even awareness.This is a wonderful thing,of cour

23、se.And our physical separation from our native land is not much of an issue.My wife and I are grateful every day for all that our children are not exposed to.American school shootings are a good object lesson for our children in the follies of the society we hold at a distance.,Detailed reading5,Det

24、ailed reading,5 Naturally,we also want to remind them of reasons to take pride in being American and to try to convey to them what that means.It is a difficult thing to do from afar,and the distance seems more than just a matter of miles.I sometimes think that the stories we tell them must seem like

25、 Aesops(or La Fontaines)fables,myths with no fixed place in space or time.Still,connections can be made,lessons learned.,Detailed reading6,Detailed reading,6 Last summer we spent a week with my brother and his family,who live in Concord,Massachusetts,and we took the children to the North Bridge to g

26、ive them a glimpse of the American Revolution.We happened to run across a reenactment of the skirmish that launched the war,with everyone dressed up in three-cornered hats and cotton bonnets.This probably only confirmed to our goggle-eyed kids the make-believe quality of American history.,Detailed r

27、eading7,Detailed reading,7 Six months later,when we were recalling the experience at the family dinner table here,I asked Louise what the Revolution had been about.She thought that it had something to do with the man who rode his horse from town to town.“Ah”,I said,satisfaction swelling in my breast

28、,“and what was that mans name?”“Gulliver?”Louise replied.Henry,for his part,knew that the Revolution was between the British and the Americans,and thought that it was probably about slavery.,Detailed reading8,Detailed reading,8 As we pursued this conversation,though,we learned what the children knew

29、 instead.Louise told us that the French Revolution came at the end of the Enlightenment,when people learned a lot of ideas,and one was that they didnt need kings to tell them what to think or do.On another occasion,when Henry asked what makes a person a“junior”or a“II”or a“III”,Louise helped me answ

30、er by bringing up kings like Louis Quatorze and Quinze and Seize;Henry riposted with Henry VIII.,Detailed reading9,9 I cant say I worry much about our childrens European frame of reference.There will be plenty of time for them to learn Americas pitifully brief history and to find out who Thomas Jeff

31、erson and Franklin Roosevelt were.Already they know a great deal more than I would have wished about Bill Clinton.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading10,10 If all of this resonates with me,it may be because my family moved to Paris in 1954,when I was three,and I was enrolled in French schools for most

32、 of my grade-school years.I dont remember much instruction in American studies at school or at home.I do remember that my mother took me out of school one afternoon to see the movie Oklahoma!I can recall what a faraway place it seemed:all that sunshine and square dancing and surreys with fringe on t

33、op.The sinister Jud Fry personified evil for quite some time afterward.Cowboys and Indians were an American clich that had already reached Paris through the movies,and I asked a grandparent to send me a Davy Crockett hat so that I could live out that fairy tale against the backdrop of gray postwar M

34、ontparnasse.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading11,11 Although my children are living in the same place at roughly the same time in their lives,their experience as expatriates is very different from mine.The particular narratives of American history aside,American culture is not theirs alone but that

35、of their French classmates,too.The music they listen to is either“American”or“European,”but it is often hard to tell the difference.In my day little French kids looked like nothing other than little French kids;but Louise and Henry and their classmates dress much as their peers in the United States

36、do,though with perhaps less Lands End fleeciness.When I returned to visit the United States in the 1950s,it was a five-day ocean crossing for a months home leave every two years;now we fly over for a week or two,although not very often.Virtually every imaginable product available to my childrens Ame

37、rican cousins is now obtainable here.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading12,12 If time and globalization have made France much more like the United States than it was in my youth,then I can conclude a couple of things.On the one hand,our children are confronting a much less jarring cultural divide tha

38、n I did,and they have more access to their native culture.Re-entry,when it comes,is likely to be smoother.On the other hand,they are less than fully immersed in a truly foreign world.That experience no longer seems possible in Western countries a sad development,in my view.,Detailed reading,Why does

39、 the author hang the American flag from his fourth-floor balcony in Paris?(Paragraph 1),Detailed reading1-Quesion,He does it for two reasons.First,as an American living in Paris,he does not want to forget his native heritage and flag-hanging is the only thing he can do to celebrate Independence Day.

40、Second,he wants to use the flag-hanging as a special means to teach his children about American history and as a reminder of their American identity.,Detailed reading,The author has kept the old flag for a long time.Why didnt he get a new one?(Paragraph 1),Detailed reading1-Quesion,The text does not

41、 tell us explicitly,but it is very likely that this flag was brought to Paris from the U.S.a long time ago.To the author,the old flag is a better reminder of his home country than a new one.,Detailed reading,What are the costs and benefits of raising children in a foreign culture?(Paragraph 4),Detai

42、led reading4-Quesion,According to the author,it is difficult for children to understand and identify the virtues of their native country without living in it,so they need to go back to their native country to make up for the ineffective family education.But the practice of raising children in a fore

43、ign culture has its merits.For example,it helps the children to acquire the new culture without being exposed to the disadvantages of their native culture.,Detailed reading,Detailed reading5-Quesion,Detailed reading,Why do the author and his family go back home for the summer?(Paragraph 5),As expatr

44、iates,they have little access to the traditional culture of their motherland.So they go back home to trace the heritage of Americans.In addition,because their children are reared up in a completely foreign culture,they have the obligation to teach their children the culture and history of their moth

45、erland.,Detailed reading9-10-Quesion,Detailed reading,What are the differences between the author and his children as expatriates at about the same age?What causes the differences?(Paragraph 910),They are different in both behavior and mentality.His children are quite like their French peers in beha

46、vior and dress style,while when the author was a child he was quite different from his French peers.These differences are due to the rapid social changes and cultural merging that have been happening all over the world.The world is becoming a huge melting pot in which different cultures are mixing u

47、p.,Detailed reading12-Quesion,Detailed reading,Why does the author say the development is sad?(Paragraph 12),Because globalization becomes the keynote of life in the world today.Cultures are merging with each other;distinctions between different cultures are becoming blurred.Children cannot tell the

48、 exact differences between their own culture and other cultures and it is impossible for them to relive the authors experience of living in a foreign culture.This kind of development of cultural globalization is a sad thing in the authors view.,fold away:fold into a smaller,neater shape for easy sto

49、rage,Detailed reading1 fold away,e.g.,These camping chairs can be folded away and put in the trunk.The piece of paper was folded away carefully and tucked into her purse.foldaway(i.e.,collapsible)bed/iron board,Detailed reading,regulation:a.in accordance with the regulations;of the correct or design

50、ated type,Detailed reading1 regulation,Detailed reading,e.g.,As we walked along the street,we could see the noisy cheerful group of people in regulation black parade tunics.He had the short regulation haircut of a policeman.,Detailed reading1-prompt,prompt:v.cause or bring about an action or feeling
