People do this for many reasons To not get picked on, to feel normal, and many more situations. Assimilation affects students as well. Not every school is diverse so some kids don't feel like they can be themselves when no one around is like them. Assimilation can be harmful to some.

My final thoughts on this assignment is that our debate made me see how Claudette and Jeanette could possibly be the best wolf girl. While collecting evidence for maribella it was nice to hear other peoples thoughts on how maribella is the best wolf girl. With my experience reading the book I found it interesting and liked how they separated the book into different stages. Now preparing for the debate was kind of all over the place but was a cool experience.
