    Joyce Carol Oakes’s short story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” was written in 1966 and twenty years later was made into a movie entitled Smooth Talk, winner of the 1985 U.S. Film Festival for best dramatic picture. The writing by Oates is loosely based on a true story described as “the tale of Charles Schmid, a twenty-three-year-old who cruises teenage hangouts, picking up girls for rides in his gold convertible” (Johnson 160). I say “loosely based” since the author purposely omits facts that she has read in newspaper and magazine articles, facts that would lend humanness to the demonic nature of a man she has cleverly and ironically named Arnold Friend. The producer of Smooth Talk, as is often the case, also takes detours from the road of reality by further developing the characters of Connie’s mother, father and older sister, June. The reader/viewer might have a tendency to question then just what is true and what is not; it hardly matters, since both are a departure from the truth. The movie’s and the story’s description of young Connie are similar. Connie is described by the author as an attractive fifteen year old who “had a quick, nervous giggling habit of craning her neck to glance into mirrors” (Oates 148) and who wore clothing “that looked one way when she was home and another way when she was away from home” (Oates 149). The movie, starring blonde Laura Dern as Connie, depicts a teen who glances frequently in store-shop windows to view her image, a young person with “two things on her mind, boys and how she looks” (Smooth Talk cover).…

    The stample fusine food is Gumbo. The dish combines: French based dark roux and tomato; Spiniesh seafood; German sausage; African Okra; The Canary Islanders’ cayenne pepper and chili pepper. Gumbo typically consists primarily of a strongly flavored stock, okra, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and seasoning vegetables, which can include celery, bell peppers and onions. Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used: the African vegetable okra, the Choctaw spice filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves), or roux, the French base made of flour and fat.

    While these influences are visible, they culture still remains distinct. Albanian cuisine has been greatly influenced by Turkey, Greece, Armenia and Syria. “Albanians enjoy a variety of appetizers, soups, casseroles, pilaf, pies, stews, and desserts”, (www.everyculture.com). In many Albanian-American communities you can stumble across small shops which for instance will serve an Albanian style pie known as burek. These pies can be filled with meat, chicken, cheeses, milk, eggs, vegetables, etc. You can also find many small Albanian coffee shops. In these coffee shops you are guaranteed to find Turkish coffee, which the Albanians greatly enjoy. You may also stumble across “a variety of candies, cookies, custards, sweet breads, and preserves. They include halva , a confection made with sugar, flour, butter, maple syrup, water, oil, and nuts; te matur, a pastry filled with butter and syrup; baklava, a filo pastry made with nuts, sugar, and cinnamon; kadaif, a pastry made with shredded dough, butter, and walnuts; and lokume, a Turkish paste.

It may sound quite similar to the sounds of Greek music. However when you listen closer, the music has a very unique sense of style, including…

    Armenian National Identity

    The concept of national identity since the end of XX century underwent significant changes and is featured with two opposing trends: huge globalization process and fierce struggle against it, i.e. for national identity. In my view, national identity, being an important, even crucial factor routinely throughout history, largely lost its role today. What are the perceptions of national self-identification in modern Armenia? To understand the concept of national identity, one should first of all consider what is “nation”. Having thought of multiple definitions of “nation”, I will try to specify Armenian national self-identification phenomenon in terms of territorial commonality, single language, cultural continuity, single religion and common state.…
