Assimilation

The United States of America is a country made up of many different cultures and races. It is almost impossible to find someone that strictly sticks to their own culture. As people grow older they start to adapt to the ideas and culture of the people they hang around with. This is called assimilation. Some say assimilation is a good because everyone is able to learn other people’s cultures and understand them better, while other people would go as far as to call people traitors to the culture. Whether or not assimilation is bad to someone’s culture is up to what you believe in. As for Beneatha in “A Raisin In The Sun” assimilation is already in progress through her life. She is trying to become a doctor, so she can get further in life, but she also wants to try and learn more about where she came from. She was going against the normal of what girls would do, not to be rebellious, but to achieve what people had showed her was the best thing. She wants to find the balanced between her culture and what would be an American dream. It’s hard to decide what is better for you because with either choice there is something to be lost.

Who's more important me or my family

 

Most people have little moments when they like to do things that benefit themselves without thinking of how it will affect others. For example sometimes I would go places with my friends without seeing if my parents need me to be home quickly to take care of my brother and sister. But if asked what’s more important to me, my family or myself, I would say my family. Even though some people in my family bug me, I don’t think I could stand to live a day without anyone of them. They mean the world to me; I hope to get rich just so I could get anything my family members want for them. I want to do this, because when I think of all the things they have done for me compared to what I have done for them I do not even come close. Even though it seems like my parents are just being mean by making me do my work, I know they are just trying to help me get good grades so I can have a better future. I love spending time with my family even when it’s just sitting down and watching TV together. It is very hard for me to imagine trying to live thinking only about myself after all my family has done for me. So, when asked what is more important to me, me or my family, my answer will always and without a doubt be my family.

The American Dream

The American dream is to be free to do whatever you want and to get rich. Many immigrants come to the United States in pursuit of the American dream, because for them it’s a chance to start over and a way to make a lot of money so they can support their families. Without dreams life would be boring and nobody would strive to do better. My dream is to graduate from college and then work as a game or software designer. I want to do this because it is easy to make money by selling games and I also like using computers and games. I also want to be able to buy my parents lots of land, whatever type of house they want, and any kind of car they want. I want to be able to never have to worry about bills. I hope I will never give up on my dreams.
