Cultural Identity Wrap up

I have learned “America is Melting Pot or Salad Bowl, It was interesting for me. “America is a melting pot,” in my definition has little different in meaning from the book. People immigrated to the United States from different places. After they lived in here, some of their tradition cultures will be disappeared or combine with other countries’ cultures. For example, Giving red envelops to their children was Chinese people’s traditional custom. They always do it in the Lunar New Year, but, some people give it to their children in Christmas or New Year (January Fist). Some important traditional events such as Mid-Autumn Festival and Dragon Boat Festival have no longer celebrated by Chinese people because they are busy. I think many years later, cultural identity will be lost or combine with other people.

Culture for China

You can be in the  image of those who see has a  red envelope,in China it is a very important festival ,is that the Chinese New Year,on that day ,who married people all want to give the children a red envolope ,but inside are eqquipped with the money,wish you the best luck all year around.

On this picture ,you can see a three dimensional picture ,that is a drink ,but we have a lot of this drink in China and it every kind of beverage effect is different.

Pandas in China is a kind of very rare animals and now the country just more than thousand only ,so everyone is trying to protect them,and it also has a very representative name is a national treasure.

Cultural Identity Wrap-up

Sine I read "I want to be America", I realized how some people so motivate to lose their own identity and they were never been native American. On the other hand, in my real life, some chinses who were born in America are called differently by elders. Instead "ABC"(America of born of Chinese), the elders call them "Banana Boy". I was inquisitive. Finally I got the reason why they named them "Banana Boy". Because those boy who born in America alread immerged American culture. The way they thought, the hobby they have are not as same as other Chinese. Although they have the same skin color(yellow),but their inside are white(like white people,American).That's why use "Banana Boy" to describe "ABC". The name is really fit and interesting, isn't it?
