thanks that helps its just i do the immigrant chronicles and im best at using postcard and ancestors so i was trying to find a way to link ancestors to the whole environment thingheya, if the question is asking you to focus on environment, you'd want to be talking about extrinsic factors such as cultural identity, community, assimilation within family etc
i spose you could keep mentioning mental environment, that's smart
but its more of an intrinsic factor imo
