fiancde a diamond ring as a symboI of their engagement.They may beengaged for weeks,months or even years.As the big day approaches,bridalshowers and bachelor s parties provide many usefuI gifts.Today manycoup Ies also receive counseIi ng during engagement.This prepares themfor the cha11enges of marr ied I ife.At last it s time for the wedding.AI though most wedd i ngs follow I ong-he I d traditions,there1 s s t ill roomfor American i nd i v i duaIi sm.For examp Ief the usual place for a wedd i ngis in a church.But some peopIe get married outdoors in a seenic spot.A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or riding on horseback!The coup Ie may invite hundreds of peopIe or just a few close friends.They choose their own style of colors,decorations and music during theceremony.But some things rarely change.The bride usually wears abeautifuIv long white wedding dress.She traditional ly wears nsomethingold,something new,something borrowed and something blue.The groomwears a formal suit or tuxedo.Several close friends participate in theceremony as attendants,including the best man and the maid of honor.As the ceremony begins,the groom and his attendants stand with theminister,facing the audience.Music signals the entrance of the bride9s attendants,fol lowed by the beautifuI bride.Nervously,the youngcoup I e repeats the i r vows.Trad i t i ona 11 y,they prom ise to I ove each otherHfor better,for worse,for richer,for poorer,in sickness and in health.But somet i mes the coup I e has composed their own vows.They give each othera gold ring to symboI ize their marriage commitment.Finally the ministerannounces the big moment:I now pronounce you man and wife.You may kissyour bride!At the wedding reception,the bride and groom greet theirguests.Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite.Guestsm i ng I e wh i I e enjoy i ng cake,punch and other treats.Later the br i de throwsher bouquet of flowers to a group of single girls.Tradition says thatthe one who catches the bouquet wi11 be the next to marry.During therecept i on,p I ayf u I friends decorate”the couples car with tissue paper,tin cans and a Just Married sign.When the reception is over,thenew I yweds run to their“decorated“car and speed off.Many coup I es takea honeymoon,a one-to-two-week vacation trip,to celebrate their newmarr iage.AI most every cu I ture has r i tua I s to s i gna I a change in ones I ife.Marriage is one of the most basic I ife changes for peopIe of al Icultures.So it s no surprise to find many traditions about gettingmarried.even in

reality as Hemingway had experienced it.11.Cancun means snakepit”in the local Mayan Ianguage,and it Iived upto its name as the host of an important World Trade Organization meetingthat began last week.Rather than tack Ii ng the problem of their highagricultural ta riffs and lavish farm subsidies,which victim ize farmersin poorer nations,a number of rich nations derailed the talks.Thefai lure by 146 trade de I egates to reach an agreement in Mex i co is a seriousblow to the gIobaI economy.And contrary to the mindless cheering withwh i ch the breakdown was greeted by ant i g I oba I i zat i on protesters at Cancun,the world5 s poorest and most vulnerable nations wiI I suffer most.Itis a bitter irony that the chief architects of this fai lure were nationsI ike Japan,Korea and European Union members,themseIves ads for theprosperity afforded by increased gIobaI trade.The Gancun meetingcame at the midpoint of the W.T.0.1 s development round,of tradeIiberalization talks,one that began two years ago with an eye towardextending the benefits of freer trade and markets to poorer countries.The principal demand of these developing nationst Ied at Cancun by Brazi I,has been an end to high ta riffs and agricultural subsidies in thedeveI oped worIdv and r i ghtIy so.Poor nat i ons find it hard to competeagainst r ich nat ions farmers,who get more than$300 b illio n in governmenthandouts each year.The talks appeared to break down suddenly on theissue of whether the W.T.0.shouId extend its rulemaking jurisdictioninto such new areas as foreign investment.But in truth,there was nothingabrupt about the Cancun meltdown.The Japanese and Europeans had devisedt his demand for an u nw ieIdy and u nneces s ar y ex p ans ion of t he W.T.0.,s mandat e as a p o i s on p ill-t o def I

neteenthcentury.Yet he conditions for its emergence had been developing sincethe Rena i ssance.The word itse lf came into Eng I i sh use in the fourteenthcentury,fol lowing French and Latin precedents;its root was Latin I itter,a letter of the a I phabet.Litterature,in the common early spe 11 i ngy wasthen in effect a condition of reading:of being abIe to read and of havingread.It was often close to the sense of modern I iteracy,which was notin the Ianguage untiI the late nineteenth century,its introduction inpart made necessary b the movement of Iiterature to a different sense.The normal adjective associated with Iiterature was I iterate.Literaryappeared in the sense of reading abi I ity and exper ience in the seventeenthcentury,and did not acquire its spec i a Ii zed modern mean i ng untiI theeighteenth century.Literature as a new category was ten aspec i a I i zat i on of the area formerly categorized as rhetoric and grammar:a spec i a Ii zat i on to read i ng and,in the material context of thedeveIopment of printing,to the printed word and espec i a 11y the book,It was eventua11y to become a more general category than poetry or theear I ier poesy,which had been general terms for imaginative composition,but which in relation to the deveIopment of Iiterature becamepredominantly specialized,from the seventeenth century,to metricalcompos it ion and espec ial ly
