Detailed study of the text:Text Explanations: This is a piece of narrative writing in which the first-person narration is employed. The whole text may be divided into four main parts. The first paragraph, which is the beginning part, provides the background of the story, introducing the main characters, the place and time of the major event narrated in the story. The second part, which consists of Paragraphs 2-6, tells us all the necessary preparations, especially the different kinds of food the writers mother had prepared for their Washington trip. Also this part briefly relates two examples of racial discrimination and segregation. The third part, which comprises Paragraphs 7-17, is the most important section of the narrative text. This part concentrates on the major event of the text - the injustice with which the writer and her family members had been treated. Included in this part are also some of the writers visits and her psychological activities. The title and the textual content bring out the satirical /stirikEl/ effect prominently(conspicuously)顯著地. As is known to all, the 4th of July is kept as a national holiday on which the American people commemorate and celebrate their winning of freedom and independence. But on this very day, the writer and her family were treated unfairly and unjustly when they entered an ice-cream store, ordered a dish of vanilla /vE5nilE/ 香草 ice cream and got ready to enjoy it. They were not allowed to eat it inside. Besides this major event, the text offers other examples to illustrate the ubiquitous /ju:5bikwitEs/普遍存在的 existence of the white domination or racial discrimination in the USA at that time. Here are two questions for discussion: ( 1 ) What do you think of the title and the content of the text? The title and the content create a satirical effect. As we all know, the 4th of July is kept as a national holiday on which the American people commemorate and celebrate their winning of freedom and independence. But on this very day, the writer and her family were treated badly and unjustly in the capital of the country when they entered an ice-cream store, ordered a dish of vanilla ice cream and got ready to enjoy it. They were not allowed to eat it inside. (2) What is the writers purpose? The writer intends to lay bare or bring to light the white domination or racial discrimination and segregation by vivid specific examples, and consequently to convey her fury and indignation. 憤怒Paragraph 1 ANALYSIS The first paragraph presents the background information, which tells us the circumstances under which the authors family were going to take the Washington trip and why.The following two questions may be used for discussion: (1) When and where did the writers family go for a visit? The writers family went to Washington D.C. at the beginning of the summer when the writer graduated from the eighth grade and her elder sister from high school. (2) Why did the family go on a Fourth of July trip? The family went on a Fourth of July trip for two reasons. The main reason was that the writer and her sister had just graduated from school and the trip was taken as an event to mark their graduation and regarded as their graduation present. The other reason was that the Fourth of July is the National Day in the USA, the day on which America won independence and freedom. As a way of celebration, most Americans will take trips to various places. LANGUAGE WORK(1).

Part of the reason for doing so was that her mother knew only too well that it would be an unpleasant experience if they should go to eat in the dining car. A previous event was related in the 6th paragraph, revealing the reason why the authors sister Phyllis had not been able to go to Washington together with her classmates. The following questions may be considered: (1) Why had the family always gone on the milk train when they used to go to the Connecticut shore? Because the milk train was cheaper. The fact that the family had always traveled on the cheap milk train implies that the family was rather poor. (2) Why did the writer say that her first trip to Washington D.C. was a mobile feast? Because the writer started eating as soon as they were ensconced(settled) in their seats on the train and she did not stop eating until somewhere after Philadelphia. (3) Give a list of the different foods the writers mother had prepared and packed. The writers mother had roasted two chickens and packed slices of brown bread and butter and green pepper and carrot sticks. There were iced cakes with scalloped edges, a spice bun and rock cakes, iced tea in a wrapped mayonnaise jar, sweet pickles, dill pickles, and peaches with the fuzz still on them. (4) Why did the writers mother prepare a variety of foods for the trip? There were probably two reasons. On the one hand, by taking a variety of food with them on the trip, the family members could save some money, for dining car food was too expensive. On the other hand, as black people, they were not allowed to go into railroad dining cars at that time. (5) Why had the writers elder sister been prevented from going to Washington D.C. with her high school classmates? Because she was black and all her classmates were white and they would be staying in a hotel which did not rent rooms to Negroes.
