From the book "growing up ethnic in america" how does the narrator in “looking for work” assimilate white culture?

In the story “Looking for Work” the narrator, Gary Soto believes at young age that based off of TV white family culture is formal, clean, and organized; as compared to his family which he depicts as informal, unclean, rude, and dysfunctional. Thinking it would make turn his family into the proper family he watches, Soto goes looking for work to become wealthy but ends up finding the unrealism in his perspectives through his mother and siblings and instead just keeps working because he likes it.  

i highly recommend james madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. i know when i signed up i got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. it's kind of expensive but i did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left : )
