“It’s difficult to adapt to the culture here,” said Maria Jacinto, 32, who moved to the United States 10 years ago with her husband, Aristeo Jacinto, 36. “In the Hispanic tradition, the family comes first, not money. It’s important for our children not to be influenced too much by the gueros,” she said, using a term that means “blondies” but that she employs generally in reference to Americans. “I don’t want my children to be influenced by immoral things.”

Here is an article entitled: “Why They Won’t Assimilate”:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2007/05/why_they_wont_assimilate.html

Assimilation is not a process magically initiated upon setting foot on Americanterra firma.  Rather, it only occurs when one or both of two conditions are met: The foreign elements must have a desire to assimilate or the host nation must place pressure on them to do so.  Unfortunately, neither is the case today because both immigrants and native-born Americans are far different than they once were.

Below is the Bible scripture that Baldwin refers to:

“The cup of trembling”

22

Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

23

But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over

"Live For Today" and Identity

We will discuss identity and how we become who we are in "Live For Today"and "Sonny's Blues"  We will different characters and explore how they constructed their identity. Setting also plays a major role in these stories. We will look at how that effects these characters as well.

Below is the graffiti that inspired the title of "Live For Today." I believe it has since been erased and is no longer visible but you used to be able to see on the PATH train between Newark and Journal Square.

This link below has a wide variety of articles on how we construct identity.

Newark and the surrounding area plays a big role in "Live For Today" and we will look at how that colors how people view the city and people from there. Here are some links about Newark:
