Discuss about the Sport of the Gods by Paul Lawrence Dunbar and the themes of African American Assimilation within it. My professor wants us to use his definition: “The state or condition of being absorbed into a group, a culture or an environment. The process of being socially integrated into the culture of a dominant group in society. Plugging oneself into a new way of life.” I want to be able to use how the characters struggle with it, and overcome it.
