When I read the story for the first time, I didn't understand why the title of the story was "The Americanization of Shadrach Cohen". Because in the last several paragraphs, we can see that he didn't wear his beard shorter or trimmed differently; he didn't change his style of clothes; and he didn't omit the prayer after meals.
Having read the story for several times, I realized that "Americanization" doesn't mean wearing short beard, being dressed in neat clothes, or skipping the prayer after meals. These are simply appearances. True "Americanization" means broader mind, more tolerance, more flexibility, and more adaptability. It means the ability of making money, of doing things whole-heartedly, of learning latest things quickly. It is an affect upon people's minds and thoughts rather than the way they precede their daily life.
Obviously, Shadrach was "Americanized". He not only was affected but also affected people around him, his sons and even Native Americans, making them more "Americanized".
Throughout the story, I like the way Shadrach guided his two sons most. He fired all the other employees, letting his two sons handle the work on their own. This part reminds me of how my father guided me. Whenever I did something wrong or dealt with things like I was born yesterday, he never scolded me. He always explains to me what I should do the next time I meet with such kind of things. He also takes me to visit his friends frequently. Through listening to their chat, I learn a lot about him, and more importantly, learn a lot from him. That’s how the relationship between parents and children should be. And that’s the reason I like Shadrach Cohen.

you are assigned to write an essay on writing does not mean that writing it has to be a miserable experience. This is a great chance to be true to your feelings and really express yourself. As long as you're prepared to back up your points with specific examples, whether you love writing or hate it, you shouldn't be shy to tell the truth about what writing is to you.
