Assimilation is the diversity of people in one area. Smaller groups of different cultural ideas come together to gain and share information. Take the U.S for example, it is referred to as the "Melting Pot". This nation among many things is the definition of diversity. People from all over the world come to the U.S and "rub off on us".
Beneatha is an African American woman. These typical woman don't usually take guitar lessons, of horseback riding lessons, or go to college to be a doctor! Since America has changed, woman received the right to vote, take on male oriented jobs, and are seen differently by most of the male community. The reader can tell Beneatha is concerned about assimilation, because all she wants to do is fit in.
High school is the perfect example of assimilation. Whether your a jock or a gangster or a nerd, you may have so many things in common. Obviously they all have something different, but that's what assimilation is all about; The sharing or gaining of ideas.
