PW REFLECTION ON ESSAY #1

How was the whole process of forming an Inquiry Question and 'proposing' your semester-long research in Essay #1?  Which part of the research plan over the semester are you looking forward to most, and what challenges do you anticipate?  Last, thinking ahead to Essay #2, what are some possible visuals that you could analyze to learn more about your topic?

 Topic: Immigration and society. The whole process made me reflect the way I think on a subject. I never fully analyzed a subject into an inquiry question and using it to build upon. I enjoy my topic of immigration because all my life is centered by immigration. I am an immigrant who moved to the states when I was five and my dad is an immigration lawyer that helps immigrants through getting their green card and help them stay in the states. I am looking forward for the library research because I can go more into depth with the topic and find out more information. The challenges are visual analysis because I feel at times my analysis lacks depth and reasoning. Essay #2 I can talk about the certain aspects of their place in society and how they it affects them in society. The visual I am thinking about are documentaries about Immigrant's contributions into culture and society. Inquiry question how does Immigration affect and shape American society in a positive aspect ?

Idea Draft of Essay 1

How do immigrants feel about blending in with American culture rather than holding on their own culture and reviving it with their new community? Immigrants that move to the U.S usually have to fit into society by putting aside their culture. They believe that American food, clothes and overall culture is far superior than where they came from. They are embarrassed when their relatives from their county and speak their language. The topic relates to sustainability because many immigrants are confused with their identity as an "American" and an immigrant. Their two cultures collides and conflict because of how judgmental people are each cultures. I personally felt the same way and denied any aspect of my culture. I came from another country and moved to the states when I was younger. As I grew older, I slowly moved away from and tried my hardest to fit in with my American classmates.
