UPDATED ASSIGNMENT 6:
Select at least three of this week’s assigned readings. Specifically, discuss some of the challenges and triumphs experienced in attempts to ‘blend in’ or ‘assimilate’. You may expand your discussion on these experiences by interjecting your own (if relevant) or those of family members. Research at least one additional external source.
*Do not simply retell the stories; seek out meaning and connections
*As with all Humanities papers, this must be done following MLA format.
**Note that this assignment supersedes the other that may still appear on the syllabus
