How does Yezierska’s account apply to today’s concerns on immigration and the lives of recent immigrants?

Answer:

Anzia Yezierska was an American author of the late 1800s and early 1900s who wrote stories about Jewish immigrants living in poverty or other unsatisfactory conditions of the Gilded Age.

Today's concerns on immigration - can I just summarize in one word - Trump. Donald Trump, the current president of the United States, has enforced a crackdown on immigration, even going so far as to promise that a wall will be built between Mexico and America to keep out illegal entrants.

Yezierska's novels bring out the humanity in these people. She wrote them to give perspective to educated readers the hardships of being a member of the working class, of being manipulated by bosses and high class. These opinions and points of view are particularly salient today because of the debate over immigration in the US.

Answer:

when I was working at the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side of New York. When I was finished, I read the Bread Givers. The stories transported me inside the old, boarded up tenements to the world of my grandparents and my great-grandparents, speaking in a language I don’t know. They also took me into other tenement buildings, those that were inhabited by newer immigrants, speaking Spanish and dialects of Chinese that, again, I didn’t really know either. How different was the world of Yezierska’s stories to the lives of the people I passed and nodded at in the streets?

At the time, many visitors came to the museum to revel in the nostalgia of their immigrant past. Nostalgia can be a beautiful thing. But, in the gallery of the museum, and in the talks I gave, I wanted to make sure we didn’t leave the story of immigration in the past. While many visitors recognized the continuity of the neighborhood’s role as a home for new immigrants, others sought to distance the stories of their families from the newcomers living on the Lower East Side at the time. Their side comments often included familiar stereotypes, people were unclean, they refused to speak English.

I think I was able to connect past and present because of what I read from Yezierska. In her presentation of the juxtaposition between the Jewish world of Orchard, Essex, and Hester streets from life north of Delancy street, we are introduced to be what seems to be a universal gulf that we need to learn how to cross, between what Yezierska presents as “polite” society, and those trying to adjust to life in the United States. It may sound cliched, but her characters, often sketched broadly, were archetypes, but types that you could recognize, and even sympathize with if you spent time getting to know them, and were attuned to the world around you.

1.Read the passage and answer the questions given.
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

One day, on a small farm in Maine, a man sat in a barn watching a large gray spider spin a web. The man was E.B. White. E.B.—or Andy, as he was called—thought spiders were spectacular creatures. He thought that one day he might like to write a children’s book about a spider.

But writing was hard work for Andy. He had written many articles and essays and poems. He had also written one children’s book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just rush to turn an idea into an article or book. He told his editor that he needed to let his ideas “ripen.”

So for years, Andy continued to think about writing a children’s book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he meandered around his farm.

Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider’s egg sac. Andy wanted to see the eggs hatch. But he was scheduled to leave for a trip to New York City. So he found a small box and carefully placed the egg sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. One morning he woke up, and there were hundreds of baby spiders scurrying across the dresser!

Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte’s Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur. Andy created most of the book sitting by himself in the tiny boathouse of his farm. Sometimes he stopped writing and doodled pictures of spiders. Andy always said Charlotte’s Web was more than just a children’s story about animals. It was a timeless story about true friendship.

De-Cide

If you seperate the latin prefixes and use the syllables itll chop down into two parts.

The definition of “Decision” actually has Latin roots. The meaning of the word “decide” comes from the Latin word, decidere, which is a combination of two words: de = 'OFF' + caedere = 'CUT'
