___________
- Lines 22-23 show that any of education, income or occupational mobility could have helped assimilation. But you can assimilate while keeping a strong community.

- We have no idea. Fugita and O’Brien never make this sort of comparison.
- Actually, lines 26-29 show that the third generation (Sanseis) became interested in cultural activities outside the Japanese-American community. And we’re never told much about the second generation.
