Background Knowledge
1.  London London, capital of Great Britain in
the southeast of England, is one of the largest
cities in the world. It is divided into many
administrative units, the largest of which is
Greater London and the City of London is the
heart of this unit. The City of London takes up a
very small area, about one square mile, lying
north of the Thames near London Bridge. This area
is the business centre of the country.

Background Knowledge
London is the national centre of government,
trade, commerce, shipping, finance and industry
it is also one of the cultural centres of the
world. London is a historic city with many
beautiful buildings. The Tower of London,
Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and St.
Pauls Cathedral are major tourist attractions.
The city is also famous for its art galleries and
museums. Among these are the British Museum,
which comprises the British National Museum of
Antiquities and Ethnography and the British
National Library, the National Gallery which
contains Britains best-known collection of
pictures, and the National Portrait Gallery.

Background Knowledge
2. Blue jeans Blue jeans are trousers made of
strong blue cotton cloth, worn for work and
informally by men, women, and children. Blue
jeans are also called Cowboy jeans because
cowboys liked to wear such trousers.

Background Knowledge
Levi Strauss, a German immigrant, was the
inventor of blue jeans. When he went West, where
he hoped to find gold and become rich, he brought
with him some canvas, a kind of strong cloth. He
used this cloth to make canvas pants, which soon
became very popular among the miners. When he ran
out of canvas, he asked his relatives in New York
to send him more. Instead, they sent him the
wrong cloth. This kind of cloth came from Genes.
Levi changed the spelling of Genes to jeans, dyed
the cloth blue, and called his new pants blue
jeans.

Background Knowledge
3. Ernest Hemingway Ernest Hemingway
(1899-1961), spokesman for the Lost Generation,
was an influential US novelist and short-story
writer. His simple and direct style of writing
has been widely imitated by many other writers,
and his stories of courage in the face of death
are reread by each new generation.
Next
7
Background Knowledge
The Sun Also Rises, his first major novel,
was published in 1926, and met with great
success. A Farewell to Arms (1929) and For Whom
the Bell Tolls (1940) were based on his own
experiences in WWI and the Spanish Civil War
respectively and added greatly to his reputation
as a writer. In 1952, Hemingway published his
last successful novel, The Old Man and the Sea.
In 1954, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for
Literature. Throughout his life, Hemingway wrote
many short stories. The Snows of Kilimanjaro and
The killers are probably the best known.
Next
8
Background Knowledge
Hemingway was a man of many contradictions.
He was extremely generous and extremely selfish.
He loved life, yet he continually pondered death.
His life was bold and courageous, yet his courage
deserted him in the end. Increasingly ill and
depressed, he committed suicide in 1961.

Text Analysis
  • Two Letters from London
  • A persons letters often tell the reader a
    lot about his or her character. Read the
    following two letters and see if you can find
    anything about the different characters of the
    husband and his wife.

43
Text Analysis
  • April 14, 1980
  • Hotel Diplomat
  • London, England
  • Lee Simmons
  • President, Cowboy Jeans, Inc.
  • 329 River Plaza
  • Atlanta, Georgia
  • U.S.A.

44
Text Analysis
  • Dear Lee,
  • London is great, Lee, its just great. Rome
    and Paris were fine places, but I knew as soon as
    we landed in London that this is the finest of
    the three. Nobody wears blue jeans here! Lee, I
    think London will prove to be a very big market
    for Cowboy Jeans. Im sure of it!

45
Text Analysis
  • It sure is nice to be in London. Its also
    nice to hear English again. When you speak a
    foreign language you can only say what you can
    say. But when you speak your own language, you
    can say what you want to. Thats why I like the
    English restaurants. When I order a piece of
    meat, I know just what Ill be getting.
  • Let me get back to business. I think you were
    very smart to pick Mr. Needle as our sales
    representative here. I didnt like him very much
    at first. Why, I kept wondering, does he wear
    suits instead of blue jeans? But Ive changed my
    mind about him. He knows the clothes business
    from top to bottom. Yesterday he proved it.

46
Text Analysis
  • While Jessica went shopping, Mr. Needle and I
    toured all the big department stores. You once
    told me that you should know your buyers not just
    as buyers, but as people. Well. Henry Needle
    knows them all. He talked for almost half an hour
    with one buyer about his wifes health. Then with
    another he talked for almost as long. You will
    see the results in my sales report, which I plan
    to write tomorrow. We got two very big orders as
    a result of all that talking.

47
Text Analysis
  • At one in the afternoon, Mr. Needle took me
    to his club for lunch. We ate with a few other
    men around a large table. I was very interested
    in what kind of business these men were in. But
    nobody talked business! What a waste of time! We
    Americans do a lot of business over lunch. But
    people are different here, I suppose. They prefer
    to tell stories and talk about the news.

48
Text Analysis
  • The man who sat next to me was a complete
    fool. First he told me a long story about a
    conversation he had almost twenty years ago with,
    as he put it, that American of yours, Ernest
    Hemingway. When he finished he asked me what I
    thought of Hemingway.
  • Well, I wanted to laugh in his face. I dont
    know anyone by this name. Why would this man
    think I did?

49
Text Analysis
  • So I told the Englishman that our country is
    very big, and that I dont know everyone in it.
    But, I added, someday I may meet this man. Is he
    also in the blue jeans business, I asked?
  • Well, I think the Englishman felt a little
    foolish. He just said no, and then got up and
    left the table!

50
Text Analysis
  • Right now Im sitting in our hotel room.
    Jessica should return soon. Yesterday she didnt
    buy anything, but I think she will today. Shes
    been out shopping for almost eight hours. I hope
    she doesnt buy up the town.

51
Text Analysis
  • Mr. Needle says hello. He said he still
    remembers the night he took you to the theater.
    He invited us to come to the theater with him
    tonight, but I told him we couldnt. Jessica will
    be too tired, Im sure. But also, I want to get a
    good nights sleep. I want to spend all day
    tomorrow writing my report.
  • I cant wait to get back to Atlanta!
  • Sincerely yours,
  • Bob Gill

52
Text Analysis
  • Dear Cynthia,
  • Oh, to be in London
  • Now that Aprils there,
  • Robert Browning, that great English poet,
    knew what he was talking about! London in the
    spring is really very beautiful, Cynthia. The
    trees are in bloom and the sky is sunny. Of
    course in Atlanta the trees are also in bloom and
    the sun shines brightly. But Atlanta doesnt have
    Londons museums, or its theaters, or its two
    thousand year history.

53
Text Analysis
  • There are only two small things which I dont
    like about London. First of all, everyone speaks
    English here. I had so much fun in Rome and in
    Paris. There I could speak in foreign languages.
    In restaurants and museums I often asked people
    the meaning of words. I made a lot of friends
    that way. But here everybody can understand me. I
    dont have any reason to start up a conversation
    with a stranger. And speaking of restaurants
    thats the other problem with London. The food
    here is no good at all! I havent had one good
    meal in the three days weve been here.

54
Text Analysis
  • Since you asked me to write to you about
    everything I learn on this trip, here is what
    Ive learned about London.
  • Londons population of eleven million makes it
    the second largest city in the world. It is
    bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo.
    London is twice the size of New York. It has an
    area of 620 square miles!

55
Text Analysis
  • The Thames River runs right through the center
    of the city. Someone once called the Thames
    liquid history. Its a very good name. Dozens
    of armies have crossed it over the past few
    thousand years. One of the first was the army of
    Julius Caesar two thousand years ago. After it
    came the armies of the Angles, the Jutes, the
    Saxons, the Danes, the Vikings, and the French.
    And most recently Mr. And Mrs. Gill!

56
Text Analysis
  • So far I have had time to visit only one
    neighborhood. It is called Bloomsbury. You
    wouldnt believe how many famous writers and
    poets have lived in Bloomsbury. In fact there is
    a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group.
    It got its name because so many of them lived
    here. Virginia Woolf was one of them. I know how
    much you like her novels.
  • Another writer who lived in Bloomsbury was our
    own American poet, T.S. Eliot. Have you ever
    wondered why Eliot left America to live in
    London? When you come to Bloomsbury, you will
    understand.

57
Text Analysis
  • Bloomsbury is more than just the home of great
    artists. It is also the home of great art. Both
    the National Gallery and the British Museum are
    here. The National Gallery has many rooms filled
    with great paintings of the Italian Renaissance.
    The painting I like the most is the Birth of
    Christ by Piero della Francesca. At the British
    Museum I stood for a full hour looking at the
    Rosetta Stone.

58
Text Analysis
  • Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury. Do you
    remember who once lived on Baker Street? (When I
    asked Bob this question, he answered, A man who
    baked bread, right?) Sherlock Holmes, of course.
    I wont have time to find his address. Maybe you
    will when you come!
  • Bob has been working very hard, but tomorrow I
    am going to take him on a tour of the city. Since
    it will be Sunday, I think well start at Hyde
    Park Corner. You know what happens there, dont
    you? Thats where people can get up and say
    anything they want. Im told its fun to go
    there, at least once.

59
Text Analysis
  • In fact, I hope that Bob has finished the work
    he had to do. I also hope that he will have
    Monday free. Then I can take him to a few of the
    museums. We have so little time here. I dont
    think I will even get near a store! But, as Sam
    Johnson said, When you tire of London, you tire
    of life!
  • Well, I should mail this letter and go upstairs
    to our hotel room. I still havent told Bob all
    the plans I have for tonight and tomorrow. Im
    sure he will agree to everything. He has already
    told me that he loves London.
