From the paper rubric

Weak body paragraph Strong body paragraph. Example with specific details.

Robert Park refers to the minority feeling bonded to the culture they came from. My parents both apply to this because they still follow their cultural ways.

Robert Park describes the assimilation experience for three generations of immigrants. Park states that first generation immigrants often hold on to many aspects of their culture (class notes). This is true for my parents in many ways. For example, it is a tradition in Japan for people to take off their shoes before entering the home. Even though we have lived in the United States since I was four years old, my parents have always taught my sisters and I to take our shoes off as soon as we come home. We have a little bench right in our entry way just for this purpose. Anyone who visits our home must also take off their shoes. We do the same when visiting other Japanese families as well.
