Hey everyone, I'm sick and barely getting this essay done in time. I can't help but feel that the introduction to this essay is rather lame. If you could grammar correct or do anything you think is necessary I could greatly appreciated it. Its a compare & contrast essay... do you think I should define what assimilation and cultural diffusion is?

In both Stanley Crouch’s short story “ Goose- loose Blues for the Melting Pot”, and Amy Tan’s personal antidote “Fish Cheeks” assimilation and cultural diffusion are introduced. As both authors express their opinions on these issues, they support their argument with the use of a personal experience. As Crouch addresses the importance of assimilation he refers back to the early 1960s where he compares how assimilation was once described as, and what it means to be assimilated today. Amy Tan at the young age of fourteen was a Chinese teen who was torn between assimilating to American culture to attract a young boy, and celebrating her Christmas Chinese traditions.
