Journal of My Two Live

Reading Jhumpa Lahiris essay, My Two Live, I got that the author, as an Indian-American, tried to restrain herself throughout her whole life. The changing of her feeling for her identity and the death of her parents and her bicultural convey intercourse changed her feeling for her identity from humiliating to confusing to accepting to cherishing. Lahiri requisiteed get hold of us that the bicultural things can be seen as a shifting representity and she used unmatched plus one for instances. Basically, I agree with her notion. However, in my opinion, the result of the equation is not just zero or two.It should be equal three or tied(p) bigger, when you rightfully understand your smashing state, United State of America. In one hand, I think virtually of people would very easy to lose their way when they are squeezed by two different cultures existing in their daily life. As the split second generation of immigrants, my older cousin also had used to face this issue. When, he was a middle school student, he had avoided speaking Chinese, changing his fuzzs color to yellow, and love to eat sandwiches and drink soda. Tried to do lot of things to make him seemed more American. Obviously, he is an American without whatever embellished.But, he did not understand this at that moment. As a truthful child, he just hoped he can looks more similar with others close to him. At that time, one plus one, of course, smaller than two or even equal zero. In the other hand, along with the change by reversaling up, the more genial experiences you collected, the deeper collar of yourself, then you would find that the result of this equation bigger, not bound in two. Because two different cultures combined together is not a simply one plus one equation. It contains massive potential and energy, want when carbon meets oxygen can explode incredible brilliancy.Actually, I am not so familiar with America history or the great persons of this nation. However, story of my elder cousins I would love to share. As I aforementioned, he had used to doubt himself. But now, his has already got the set degree and even published a paper in Science, one of the most top scientific journals in the world. I remember identification of his doctoral defence stated that he would love to thanks his estimable grandma since to be a doctor is grandmas dream. following the willing of grandparents or parents is a very traditional thinking inChina. When persevering and enduring hardship, which comes from his family, meets critical and innovative coming from his American part, my cousin got an achievement. I think that beyond what one plus one equal two can include. So far, he hope his children can be teach by Chinese culture or even lead in China someday, even if his wife is a White. I am not sure if this example reasonable, but this is what I really want to tell. Moreover, as a foreigner, from my sight of view, America is the one of most light and tolerant nations in the world. Democratic and Liberty are two lyric poem what Americans the most proud of and pursuing.Thus, when you are walking on a traffic pattern street in any(prenominal) city of US, you will find that really like walking in the United Nations. Citizens of the USA might have various colors of sinks, speak English with different accents, and wear sorts of clothes. Whats more, you can buy anything you want by yourself in spite of understanding nothing English. I think this interesting phenomenon just belongs with America. Therefore, unique and mortal are very common and important value of America.Everyone have an American dream, and everyone have the opportunity to achieve it. You can learn everything you like and grow individually. American culture comes from hundreds of cultures. The diversity of culture creates lots of advantages to the US, comparing with any other countries. All these above are the reasons why America, a countrified less than 300 years history, can be th e greatest nation all over the world. Therefore, dont be confusion because this is a part of America, what make it so amazing and fantastic.
