I really liked reading this paper. It was so good, I just wish it was a bit longer...I still feel as if I don't really know much about Armenian identity or how exactly they view themselves or their ethnic identity....i wanted to know more about what they thought about nation, church and family...how they view those 3 here versus how they are viewed in Armenia, how immigrating and changes in lifestyle, nation and church and family (some family is undoubtedly left behind when people immigrate...and in this case, death of family) effected their identity. Anyway, my point being: it was EXCELLENT and I want to learn more! good job!

the only reason i didn't write more was cos of the limit of the paper size by the teacher, her assignment was stupid... i sorta strayed from it to write this but i still got a good mark. Interesting enough resources on Armenian culture is slim.. i actually asked Ana alot about it rather then look it up because of that.

What was the page limit and who was the teacher?

It doesn't really surprise me at all that the resourses on Armenian culture is slim, not many people know about what happened (it's never taught in public education)and therefore not many people take interest in it. And comparitively speaking, there aren't many people of Armenian dissent in the states. In Ana Armenian? When did her family move here? Why?n Is knowing her what got you interested in the topic of Armenian culture and history?

There are select areas where Armenians live. There is a little Armenia next in Hollywood, and the city if Glendale, where Ana lives is primarily Armenian. Pretty much every where else in the states its the same thing. Most cultures have those, but they are often spread around too, for Armenians they generally are not. Ana is Armenian, shes like 2 generation i believe... her grandparents can mother came here around the same time i believe. But i dont think her mom was from Armenia, i think her grandparents moved to another place then came later after the genocide. Before i met her friend Alek in Santa Cruz i didnt even know what an Armenian was, he told me a bit about it, and from there i started asking him questions, but he didnt like answering them. (im like that i always ask questions about peoples culture, id rather know then be another ignorant american white kid). Anyway, thats how Ana and i connected. I met her at a party in Santa Cruz, cos of Alek, and got to talking with her about it, i told her Alek never explained it to me, ( ... )
