In the film "Sleepy Hollow," Young Maspeth is heavily influenced by an anthropological concept known as assimilation. This concept refers to assimilating people from a specific culture into another. This usually involves the dominant culture taking over. Maspeth's assimilation into Mr. Crane's culture is shown in the scene when she asks him to help solve the crimes. Upon his arrival, he brought with him a new scientific and progressive culture compared to what was found in Sleepy Hollow.
Early in the film, the locals are amazed by the various techniques used by Mr. Crane during the crime scene. Soon, Young Maspeth starts to learn more about him and his methods. He asked if he could help him with his investigations. Initially, Mr. Crane was reluctant to help Young Maspeth. However, after he convinced him otherwise, he agreed to let Maspeth accompany him to every crime scene. During
this time, Young Maspeth learns about Mr. Crane's various methods to collect evidence and find the killer. Another set shows Young Masbeth's cultural transition as he accompanies Mr. Crane and Katrina to New York City (Rudin et al., 1999). Masbeth's assimilation is shown in these scenes as he learns more about Mr. Crane's culture and uses scientific tools to better understand the situation. Throughout the movie, Maspeth also shows signs of assimilation as he leaves his home in Sleepy Hollow and returns to New York City.
