To take in, to absorb, to understand fully are all types of ways to assimilate.You assimilate in class or when you watch history channels on T.V. You are absorbing things that you don't know or you are getting to understand what it fully means.
In the novel, A Raisin in the sun, the character Beneatha uses assimilation. She is trying so hard to become a doctor. Beneatha tries to fit in with the crowd. She is trying to do a white womens job. Beneatha wants learn and take doctor classes. Her family doesn't think she will be successful but she is determined to become doctor and prove them wrong.
The author of, A Raisin in he sun, uses assimilation to give the readers a suspense and to continue to keep reading. Assimilation would be a strength in the novel because the readers have no idea of what happened to Ruth when she fainted. The readers would become eager to know what is happening.
Assimilation is used everywhere.In my classes we are all using assimilation because we are all loearning and absorbing new things.People asssimilate if they learn something new. People that didin't know anything before and learned something new they absorbed something into there brain. If you think of it like a sponge absorbing water that is kind of assimilation because it absorbed something. People do the same but absorb knowledge. I learn something new everyday. So tachnically I use assimilation all the time.
spell check! (:
ReplyDeletei think your descriptions and deffinitions were0. very precise but i do agree with natally you should be a little more careful with your spell check and grammar.
ReplyDeleteThe analogy used within this blog is great. Though the definition is basic in my perspective. It could have been a bit more developed to help a reader without prior knowledge further understand. Although you feel you assimilate, do you feel as if you have been completely condemned to inevitable assimilation?
ReplyDeleteGood point Miranda. Is assimilation "inevitable"? Good job Joshua
