_____________
In my history class we are learning about the early immigrants
who came to America from Eastern Europe. Many of them came to America for a better life and to be able to express their religious beliefs
freely. Before I began learning about the individual stories of these families, I had heard many generalizations. Most of the immigrants eventually adjusted to American life, but still held onto the values
they brought with them from the old country. Unfortunately, even today, many non-immigrants like to stereotype certain groups. I am eager to learn more about this topic throughout the semester.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I have arrived in Paris and I really like the host family I'm staying with! I'd like to get them a gift to thank them for their hospitality so far. Everyone is so nice and I really feel like I'm fitting in here. The food is delicious, but I think that sometimes they go overboard. Did you know it is customary to drink a glass of red wine with every meal?
I really need to work on improving my French. Sometimes when I'm in the middle of a conversation, I still don't feel like I can express myself.
How are things back home?
Write soon!
Love,
Lisa

Judy: Hi, Jason. What are you reading?
Jason: It's this book about ancient Egyptian
myths. I started reading it because I have an Egyptian friend who was telling me about his heritage and some of the ancient stories he grew up hearing.
Judy: Oh, that's interesting. I guess it's appropriate that you're reading a book about it then.
Jason: Honestly, I felt there were many holes in some the stories he was telling me. But I didn't feel I could discuss it with him. I didn't want him to take offense. He also doesn't deal well with criticism in general.
Judy: It is nice that you're doing him the courtesy of researching the topic on your own as opposed to challenging his heritage.
