Answer:

Anzia Yezierska was an American-Jewish writer. She wrote many novels and books. She was born in Poland but later migrated to the U.S.A.

Explanation:

                The author tries to ridicule or deride the Americanized people who believed that they are the original American people and wanted to leave behind the heritage as well as history of theirs. Thus the author uses the word "American" with a quotation mark.

               Anzia Yezierska speaks of her moving to America in search of a better living and to pursue her dreams. She remembers she lives with and works for a family in America who have also migrated from the same Polish village from where she comes from. This family behaves in a manner that they belong to America and forgot from where they came from. They pretended to be truly American or "American" as quoted by Anzia Yezierska.

                We see how the thoughts and the feelings of Anzia Yezierska about the 'land of freedom' quickly changed. She came here in search of happiness and to live a better life but she encountered loneliness, shame, inadequacy, misunderstanding, etc. The feelings of the author changes from the childish exhilaration towards the sad acceptance and the ultimate hatred.

:)) 1. How do stereotypes affect how YOU see yourself in the world?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Stereotypes change what you think you should be, men stereotypes tell them to be emotionless. Women stereotypes are that they are weak and need a man to take care of them. These stereotypes can change how you want to act.

2. I feel that our identity is mostly fueled by our similarities, you change how you act and what you like to fit in. You do what other people like so you aren't judged. Very few people base their identity on the differences. You want to be similar, because different is strange in the society we live in.

3. Being different can hurt some people. When a person is separate from the world because they moved to a place were the identity they built to fit in isn't the identity that fits anymore, they hurt. They don't have friends and they begin to isolate, because they are scared of what will happen if they open up.
