Answer:

In “My Two Lives” Jhumpa Lahiri talks about her hardship growing up in America coming from two different cultures. At home she spoke Bengali with her parents, ate with her hands. According to Jhumpa’s parents she was not American and would never be. This led her to become ashamed of her background. She felt like she did not have to hide her culture anymore. When Jhumpa got married in Calcutta she invited her American friends that never visited India. Jhumpa thought her friends would judge from being part of the Indian culture and isolate her.However her friends were intrigued by her culture and fascinated. She felt like her culture should not be hidden from her friends anymore, and that coming from an Indian-American culture is unique. Jhumpa believes that her upbringing is the reason why she is still involved with her Bengali culture. Jhumpa says“While I am American by virtue of the fact that I was raised in this country, I am Indian thanks to the efforts of two individuals.” Jhumpa means that she is Indian, because she lived most of her life and was raised here. In the story Lahiri explains that her parents shaped her into the person she is. Growing up coming from two different cultures can be difficult, but it can also be beneficial.

Read the following historical fact to make a text to world connection.
gayaneshka [121]

The detail from Michio Kaku's book that provides the most cultural context about the Cold War is:

2. The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States.

Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist born in 1947 in California. In his book "Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century," he discusses the scientific advances that revolutionized the 20th century and that will certainly define life now and in the future.

In the particular excerpt we are analyzing here, Kaku gives us a brief cultural context when he mentions, "The Pentagon was worried that the shattered remains of the Soviet Union might be rebuilt before the United States." This line explains that many of the scientific revolutions that occurred last century only came to fruition because the need to defeat Russia was culturally infused into Americans. The two countries were now racing to show the world which one was the most powerful, which one was the most technologically advanced.

<u>In conclusion, Kaku offers the cultural context of the Cold War as the groundwork where scientific revolutions could take place.</u>
