American literature
Mark Twain
Listen to part of a lecture in an American literature class!
Today we are going to discuss the life of Mark Twain. Do you know who he is? Yeah. Everyone has heard about him. He wrote the adventures of Tom sawyer and adventures of Huckleberry Finn, didn’t he?
Right.
Well, I don’t know all the books , but he was a newspaper reporter, and he wrote different things like historical fiction, travel books religious fiction and short stories, right?

And ? that’s it? Ok, well, you are about to learn some more things ,that are less talk about. Did you know he was a thorn in the US government side? Surprised? well Mark Twain was his pen name, he was actually born Samuel Clemens. And today, you will going to learn about Mark Twain and his activities in the Anti-Imperial league.
Really? he was friend with Roosevelt and other politicians. I read about it. Oh, he was a rebel, a rebel with a cause. He more than belonged to the league, he was the vice-president from 1901to 1910. Let’s start at the beginning. The league was the first of its kind in the US , and was formed in reaction to the outcome of the Spanish- American War in 1898. Basically, Spain turned over the colonies in the Caribbean and Pacific to the US as the loser in a settlement. It was called the treaty of paris. It named Cuba, Guam, Puerto Rico and Philippines.
Twain supported the US in the beginning, but he did turn about face when he learned about the terms of the treaty. He believed it was just a way for US expansion. Twain was in Europe at the time of Spanish American war, and returned to the US in 1900. He was always ready to tell how he felt about the treaty. He campaigned fiercely against imperialism by making speeches, writing articles and after sending "A Salutation Speech from the 19th to 20th to the league as well as the New York Herald He became the the vice-president of the league. In a nutshell, He believed that the US could not be both empire and a republic at the same time. Twain admired Emilio Aguinaldo tremendously, and what he was all about.
Who was he?
well, He was a Filipino rebel, he wanted freedom for his country. He organize rebellions against the Spanish and was exiled by them to HK before the war. When the war started, he went back to the Philippines, thinking the US was going to help free the Philippines. Wrong, I don’t think he realized that the US wanted the Philippines for its own. In the end, the US kept the Philippines.
The US criticized the Spanish for having a concentration camps cuba and used it as propaganda against them, then they turned around and did the same things, open concentration camp in the Philippines. This is what got on Twain’s nerves.
Anyway, Twain was thoroughly displeased by the whole thing. When he went back to the US in 1901, he published to the person sitting in the darkness. This has a great impact on the war and the government dishonesty. It came to be the league most popular publication. That same year, he did it again and singed a july 4th address to the American people. This was published in newspapers everywhere and did not make politicians happy.
In 1902, he signed a petition to the Senater that made it clear and he knew all about concentration camp, and he was against them. He thought it might help stop the hostile US Philippines negotiations. And in 1903, Twain was active in helping the league protest, how they treated the Filipino’s in their own country. Does that surprise you about Twain? He was involved with the anti-imperial league until his death in1910. There was a lot more to Twain than tom sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.

Anthropology:  Gypsies
Listen to part of lecture in an anthropology class.
Today I would like to discuss an interesting group of some nomadic people called the Gypsies. A roaming cultural group called the Dom, led they lies in India and nowadays has became known as the Gypsies.
Through recording dating from as far back as 16centry, we know the Dom performed various specialized jobs such as basket making, metal working, and fortune telling, by travelling a circuit through several small villages each year.
The word Gypsy can be found in several other languages such as Germen, French, Italian, and Hungarian. Currently, the earliest recording of Gypsies in Europe dated 1068, were found in a monastery in Greece. These recording document events took place in the Constantinople in the year 1050. For the next 200 years, the gypsies wandered southwest into Arabia and north Africa northwest into the byzantine empire, and finally established themselves in southern Balkan countries such as Serbia, Moldavia, and Bulgaria and Hungary before 1300. After Kublai Khan's death in 1294, the Mongolian empire began its decline and the boarders began to move east, thereby, reducing pressure on the Europe and allowing the gypsies to expand more rapidly than the previous 200 years. They entered the modern-day Yugoslavia before 1362and covered the Balkans by 1400. The 14 and 15centries proved to be good times and full of happiness for the gypsies. Before the conquest of the Ottoman Turks the gypsies lived in Thrace, Macedonia, Greece, Yugoslavia and Romania. These happy days would soon came to an end. Because the Turkish invasions, some gypsies were forced into Venetian territories such as Crete and Corfu. Fortunately, there annual dues rose along with the increase in population in Corfu. When an increase in population annual income came an independent area of land in 1470 ruled by a lord named Michael de Hugot, who lasted until the 19th century. Unfortunately, the gypsies and in the Balkans were not quite as lucky. Although they had important jobs, such as blacksmiths, locksmiths and tinsmiths and were the basically middle class, the government declared them slaves to prevent them from escaping. These gypsies could be sold, exchanged or given away, and any man or woman who married gypsy became slaves too. They were finally emancipated in the 19 century. Before the 15 century, the gypsies were known as quiet, shy and not very organized. They also seemed hesitant to travel into western Europe. This all changed over a 20 years period beginning in 1417. During this time, they began to move in a purposeful way toward western Europe  and even began to call attention to themselves. Various gypsy groups began to display some unity of action and connection with each other through telling different stories. Some say the Turkish invasion of the Balkans in the early 1400 led to this bizarre behavior. Once the invasion was over, the gypsies themselves likely wouldn’t have been affected in a long run under Turkish rule because the Turks believed in leaving civilian populations free as long as they paid taxes to them. However, the gypsies may have moved toward western Europe because some of the gypsy leaders could not serve under the Turks due to their great loss of power under Turkish rule. The reason behind the change is unclear but the gypsies began to move into the central Europe in great numbers, but not without causing some problems.
Some gypsies falsely claimed to be Egyptian, and some claimed they were Christians left to roam the countryside as a form of absolution for their sin of ignoring their religion. These lies allowed them to collect food, money and letters of protection from a city and then they would continue to the next town using the same lies. By 1427, the gypsies had travelled through Germany, Brussels, Holland, Rome, Spain and Pairs.
By this time, many of the leaders caught on to the gypsies thefts and lies and began banning them.
They were also recordings of gypsies in the British Isles, Norway, Finland, and Siberia.
