What is your opinion on assimilation and write a counter claim

English
1 answer:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
4 0

Prior Claim:

Personally assimilation isn't by any means an a necessity. The concept of assimilationism comes from a racist time where the need for assimilation was driven by the society. Society in early America was an inheretly racist time as it was the time of the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. This, in part was the reason assimilationism became such a large part of Americana. I think as a whole assimilationism is a racist societal problem, as Assimilation contributes to the melting pot ideals set in Modern America. Melting Pot of ideals as a whole benefits a society by having different view points, it allows for a more beautiful democracy.

Counter Claim:

Assimilation isn't a racist system, more or less it's system that allows for other groups, apart from America, to feel more like an Americans. Integration of another ideal system is a great thing, but more or less making it Americanized contributes a sort of Foriegn American Patriotism. That allowing a group to integrate their belief system is better for America as it shows that we are a melting pot. Full assimilation isn't what I'm asking for, but rather an integration of the best parts of another society but leave out the parts not inheretly American.

How does Donne use the metaphysical conceit in this poem in Sonnet XIV? Do these comparisons help you as a reader to understand
alisha [4.7K]

Metaphysical conceits are not too strictly defined, but the general idea is that the poet makes use of a clever and unusual extended metaphor throughout much or all of a poem.

In Holy Sonnet XIV, the idea of the speaker as a city barricaded against God's advances is a metaphysical conceit.

Donne is really interested in physical, earthly love, but also really into God and holiness. The huge problem he must deal with is that he is trying to define a sacred, spiritual relationship, but the only tools at his disposal are the language we use and the lives we lead here in the non-sacred world. The Bible makes a big point of this the language God uses is not the language we can use, so the kinds ofcomparissons Donne can make are inherently limited. Our words and metaphors just cannot describe what happens when you get close to God. Donne writes about something he really cannot express, and that struggle is a big calling card for all of his poetry.

It is in the final couplet, that Donne describes how he 'never shall be free' unless God 'ravishes' him. This powerful image that is deemed as holy creates a paradox between purity and sin, symbolising God dominating Donne with ultimate control to become unified as one in the hope of gaining an immortal partner.

Considering John Donne's personal and professional history, Holy Sonnet XIV can also be seen as a personal processing with his own struggle with God and religion in general.

These comparison were very useful to understand the whole poem and read it in a deep way.
