Mahamadou Waggeh Professor N/ Dr. Kratka Fqwis 15 May 2023 I think the writing piece that is closest to accomplishing this is the analysis of the text “What I must Say to You” because the process with that was to read the text, then explore any possible themes and write about it. I chose a passage from the text then diving deep into it and explaining your perspective of what you read and its importance. I accomplished this course outcome in Paper 1 where I was able to read through my own paper and even get feedback during peer review …

Professor N/ Dr. Kratka Fqwis 09 May 2023 Forcing Changed Ways In the short stories “ Call it Sleep” by Henry Roth and “The Paper Menagerie” by Ken Liu, America plays a vital role in assimilation being forced upon immigrants and their children, which causes negative impacts and affects households.. Because both protagonists have immigrants in their families, they almost act as a burden to them which makes it more difficult to become accustomed to their American surroundings. Both David and Jack are heavily affected being forced to assimilate by their American society and environment. In “Call it Sleep” the …

Immigrant family dynamics is a significant topic in both novels, “The Paper Menagerie” by Ken Liu and “ Call it Sleep” by Philip Roth. Both texts give insight and focus on two immigrant families and the main protagonist of each story trying to find their identity based on their home situations and influence from the outside. In Call it Sleep, David is a young Jewish boy who tries to find his place in the world and his society. He doesn’t really establish himself using his traditional Jewish values but what he learns from the outside. In the text “ The …

What went well for me with the writing process in this paper is that I already knew what pieces of evidence I wanted to use in my paragraphs. After making my top sentences for each paragraphs, it made it easier for me to finds evidence for that specific paragraph and and overall argument. Also, what I feel I did well was clear up my thesis statement with the help of the peer feedback that I got from both my partner and my teachers. I feel that the peer feedback was the most important step for my writing process because I …

The Struggle of Fitting In Even though America is seen as the land of freedom where people embrace it, it doesn’t seem that way from protagonist David’s point of view from “Call it Sleep” by Henry Roth, who in the novel struggles to fit in with others in society. While there are benefits to being an immigrant coming to America, there are also many negatives. The novel portrays the struggles and challenges faced by Jewish immigrants living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan during the early 1900s including David himself. Social indifferences are what made it difficult for people …

Even though America is seen as the land of the free and people are embraced, it doesn’t seem that way from protagonist David from Call it Sleep by Henry Roth who struggled to fit in with others in society. Roth has to show that David struggles in his childhood, portraying the struggles Jewish people face within their daily lives trying to fit in society. In the beginning of the text, David is introduced as a young Jewish boy who is still getting used to life in America. He wanted a glass of water but realized he was too small to …

You can see what the writer was trying to say but his stance wasn’t clear enough.He has an argument but its not specific enough For the most part, the evidence in this paper was given a strong analysis. But in body paragraph 2, the explanation for the piece of evidence used was kind of repetitive so the wrote an shorten the analysis be continued to be thorough and clear nonetheless  He needs at least 1 more evidence in the 2nd to last paragraph instead of it being a paragraph just talking about something and explaining it. This person has done …

The text that we have read in this class that has interested and engaged me the most was “Call it sleep.” This was the most interesting to me because I don’t have that much knowledge about Jews and Judaism as a whole so it was good to get a whole new perspective on how different Jewish people live their lives and assimilate to American culture. What made the text a lot more engaging than the others that we have read is that there is a little Jewish kid who doesn’t really follow his religion at home. But when he is …

“There are 2 kinds of immigrants, I observe. One kind loves everything about America, is happy to throw off the ways of the old country, and thereafter looks back largely with contempt. The other kind dislikes, compares, regrets, awakens and sees the new life mainly as a loss of the old” This passage sheds light on the fact that Mrs. Cooper moved from her native land which is Jamaica and started to work for employers in America. The protagonist further explained that she sees that there are two types of immigrants, one that is very grateful for everything that America …

After reading both “Call it sleep” and ” The Paper Menagerie”, a similarity between the protagonist in both text Jack and David, I realized that they both are influenced by the outside world where they accept the outside more than home. In “Call it sleep”, David is a Jewish kid that doesn’t really get taught the religion at home but from the people he hangs out with. He goes to a school where the rabbi teaches him the history of Judaism and certain principles he has to follow. In the text “The Paper Menagerie”, Jack is Chinese but soon doesn’t …
