To assimilate is to fit in. Basically it is when people do a certain not because they enjoy but becasue others do it also. Feathers, they became a popular accessory for girls but most of the girls who wore them never would have got them before they came in style. There are a lot of examplesof assimilation. I have even assimilated. When i was younger my friends would do this ghetto hand thing and I thought it was the ugliest thing ever to do. Since everyone was doing it and I didn't want to look like an outcast I started doing it, feeling real dumb. Everyone has assimilated atleast once intheir life.
In "A Raisin In The Sun" Ruth doesn't want to accept who she is. She has no pride for herself. Her life stinks to her because she is poor and black. Ruth would love to have the chance to not have to worry about money. Ruth shows assimilation, all she wants to fit in, not wanting to accept the way her life is.
When Eric Liu came to America he felt outcasted. After a year he assimilated his life style to the American ways. He adjusted to new eating habbits and culture. He was ashamed of his culture and wanted to forget about it. At the end he becomes aware of the assimilation and is upset that he couldn't accept that he could keep his culture and gain more knowledge from others.

Family or Desire....
In english we were asked what we would rather have family or desire. Well I know for sure that it will have to be family! My family has always been here for me and shown me that anything I want to acheive is possible. If I had no family the odds of me having a desire would be seldom. My family has done so much for me and I can't see how anything in this world can be better than having the ones I love in my life. I have alot of desires and my main one is to become a famous actress. But my love for acting, which is alot, doesn't even compare to my love for my family. Without my mom or dad I wouldn't have this dream to become a famous movie star probably. So of course my family will always come first to me. Desire is nice yes, but how can you desire when there is no family to help achieve? So yes I will always pick family over desire.

American Dream
The American dream is to be able to dream openly and freely to no extent. It's like setting a goal, you have that dream and you want that so bad that you work for it then soon enough you will get it. The American dream gives hope to all the people. It shows that we shouldn't just settle for less than we deserve but go for the top and acheive this dream of yours because anything is possible.
My American dream is more than just one thing. First of all i want to graduate from high school and be top 15% or 10% of my class. Then i want to be accepted and go to an out of state college of my choice, preferably New York University then major in theatre and minor in teaching and prove to all teachers at South West that not all students from their are dumb and show that I have done something better than they have. After that I want to live in a different state, not Texas or New York and be a movie star, do local productions and travel with a cast and crew around the country and do shows. After the prductions of those I want to settle with my husband and we start a family in my house. Then when I am older I will go to a school and teach theatre and help those kids that had the same dream as me acheive their goal. Once i turn 65 or older my husband and I will have retired and we can spend the rest of our life doing stuff we want to do like take a cruise to different places.
