Reflect on how your cultural heritage shapes your daily expectations, inspired by "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid.

Prompt response: Cultural heritage shapes my daily expectations by on how I act outside of my home with others, and what it means to carry myself outside with my lineage being honorable in my birthplace of India. Another way it shapes my daily expectations is by the food I eat in America of fast food and expensive meals using utensils instead of back in India by eating with hands. There also is how we talk to people, where my mom is always on me about my manners to her and others and that I should be respectful and profound in the way I am. 

Summary: Today we discussed cultural identity in the passage "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid. As well as discussing what cultural identity is and how different it can be for different people.

Reflection: what I learnt during class was Cultural Heritage can determine who you are, the reason why I learnt it now was because of the fact that my mom was always lenient and never influenced our indian culture here in the U.S. since I was 5 other than food that we ate during my birthday such as a dish called Briyani.
