TWO WAYS TO BELONG IN AMERICA DUE ON THURSDAY 9/18

Part I: 
Read " Two Ways to Belong in America"
By BHARATI MUKHERJEE
September 22, 1996: New York Times


http://www.edgewood.edu/Portals/0/pdf/Events/STAR/Two%20Ways%20to%20Belong%20in%20America.pdf


Part II: In your NOTEBOOK ( Total 4 paragraphs)

Write a THESIS based on reading Mukherjee's article? (see Thesis lesson) REMINDER- YOU should develop a 2-3 sentence statement based on reading the article.

What questions come to mind when reading this article? What are the main points the author is trying to convey? Relate this to the theme of identity. Be specific and provide examples. Think about the ideas presented in my lectures and class discussions.

Mukherjee says " The price that the immigrant willingly pays, and that the exile avoids is the trauma of self - transformation."  What does she mean by this?

What does it mean to transform? Have you ever experienced self transformation? If so, How?



Part III: Immigration in Today's World by Facing History and Ourselves.

In your notebook- As you watch the video!

  • Write down one main point made by Marcelo Suárez-Orozco, John R. Bowen, and Sir Keith Ajegbo (total 3 points).

  • Define Immigration based on watching the video.
