To assimilate is to fit in or get comfortable with your surroundings. It's when you get one culture and its way of living and you start to act think and ado the same way they do.
In the Raisin in the Sun the one who shows assimilation is the character Ruth because she always goes with the other characters actions or with what they even say. In the play, assimilation is shown by Ruth by showing her weakness of herself and of other women in their similar situations. It just shows how easily women can give up all their opportunities and rights all up.
Everyone assimilates, and I see everyone doing it everyday. School is the home for people who assimilate. Majority of the time it is teenagers who do it, and sometimes adults. I too assimilate, as in growing up physically and mentally. Everyone has to look at these things in their own way in order to understand or meet new people in their lives.
In Eric Liu's view of assimilation is when he saying that he isn't Chinese from the core. He is saying he is an Asian American and has learned the customs and the way of living here in American. He accepts that he no longer has Chinese culture in him but that does still make him different, by saying Asian American. Eric Liu just finally grasped the American way of living.
That was very good however i think you could better word your sentence structures
ReplyDelete@joshua I will work on that, thanks for the input.
DeleteI agree with you in a lot of things in your blog, but check your spelling and elaborate a little more on some things.
ReplyDelete@jaimejr332 I clicked spelling check I guess I didn't see it? Elaborate, got it. Thank you!
DeleteI like how you concluded your blog when saying how you assimilate and then using Eric Liu's assimulations. But next time before you publish you might want to do spell check because in the first paragraph second sentence. You meant to put "do" but instead you put "ado". Another thing I'd have to say is not to try to use and as much, it doesnt make the blog as strong as it is. But other than that the whole thing was good and i liked it.
ReplyDelete@tiffany like what I said I clicked spell check but I guess I didn't see it honestly I did this in about 15 mins. I had volleyball practice in the morning. I tried my best in a little bit of time, and that also goes for @jaime332 and @joshua.
DeleteI like how you worded a lot of it and you got your point across, but I think you could have eloborated more on Ruth. I didn't fully understand what you meant. I also didn't understand how you assimilated physically and mentally. And what is your view on it, do you find it being a negative or positive or both and why?
