Assimilate

                     Assimilate is basically like trying to fit in with other people. Whether it’s trying to fit in with the popular kids or just your own friend’s people are always going to try to assimilate. If all your friends get the newest phone and you’re the only one who doesn't have it more than likely you’re going to want to get it. Kind of like when fitted hats were in everyone had one but now that snap backs are in people automatically switched to snap backs just because some rapper wrote a song about them. Some people will do anything to fit in with what’s cool they will completely change who they are, buy all new clothes, change who they talk to, and completely change their personality. I knew this one kid in 6th grade he was really shy and now he’s all into having swag and wearing snap backs. i choose not to assimilate because im happy with who i am and im proud of it I am a nerd who loves music!. In "A Raisin in the Sun", Beneatha tries to act like a rich white women. She does so many things, wants to be a doctor, takes guitar lessons, learned to ride a horse, she’s just trying to do what she thinks white people are doing. Deep down I think she loves her family but sometimes is ashamed of them and doesn't want to be around them sometimes. That’s most likely the reason that she tells her mom basically not to embarrass her when her friend, Asagai an intellectual man, comes over. Beneathea is embarresed to be black she tries so hard to be anything else but black, she is black and she cant change that.

  6. Hmmmm... What's wrong with you and your classmates? Beneatha *refuses* to assimilate. She is proud of her black heritage. Oops.
