The Great Compromise

   Compromise has always been a fervently sought after achievement. Whether it be in relationships, in real world/political situations, etc. compromises can be difficult to come to. In Everyday Use, Dee doesn't believe that a compromise can be met between two cultures. I believe there can be.

   I feel that I am living prof of this. My parents are both relatively left-brain thinkers. I, however, am truly a soul of the arts and expression. My parents would love to see to it that I am made to be a lawyer or engineer, but I could much more see myself in front of people. Although nursing and pediatrics are also of large interest to me, I have a fervent passion for the arts.

  I do not long to strain for freedom from my parents either. I value their morals that they've laid out for me: respect yourself and others, respect authority, be kind always. I see their lessons as highly worthwhile, and do not plan to act as Dee did and reject their ways of thinking. A compromise truly  be met.

   In short, there are not only two options when dealing with finding a true identity. There are millions, and a compromise between two cultures can surely be met, if one puts their mind to it.
