In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks,
becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National
Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting
on the significance of Lin's success. Read the passade carefully, then complete the
following tasks:
1. Identify and describe Jen's claim about the extent to which culture influences
an individual.
2. One rhetorical choice Jen makes to assert her claim is to provide an anecdote.
Identify a piece of evidence that reflects this choice and provide brief
commentary explaining how the evidence conveys Jen's claim about the
extent to which culture influences an individual.
3. Review the work you've completed for the tasks above. Then, compose a
claim that analyzes how Jen's use of anecdote conveys her claim about the
extent to which culture influences an individual.
