The American dream is what maintains the steady flow of immigrants into America. Overtime the American dream has given a new hope to immigrants. People come to America in hopes to improve their lives in a way that makes them happy to be apart of the country. When people immigrate to this country and contribute to the betterment of society, they become American. When people look at this country and the citizens from the outside, they do not always see what Americans see as being American. Being

The author of America and I, Anzia Yezierska, comes to America thinking very highly of it, but once she is in America for a period of time, she goes through experiences that change her mind into thinking America is not all it is made up to be. The author claims, “I was in America, among the Americans, but not one of them” (Yezierska 10). People in America do not consider her an American because she looks different and acts different

gender. Anyone can go to school to get an education, apply for a job they want, or even audition to become famous. However, some immigrants don't have the same opportunities because they don't have the skills or education. In “America and I” by Anzia Yezierska, she comes to America as an immigrant but doesn't know the American language so no one would accept her to work for them. She learned the language and she started to realize how good America really

There is a misconception that anyone living in America can simply grasp the concept of the American Dream; no matter a human being's life experiences, cultural background, or language spoken. The Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"(Jefferson, paragraph two). These words are inscribed in

Success is achieved by hard work and dedication. In Anzia Yezierska’s book “Bread Givers” Sara Smolinsky shows how that applied to her life. The author can relate to the story because she was an immigrant from a small Polish village and had to overcome many obstacles to become successful. She rebelled against her parents’ wishes of following the traditional path of a women immigrant and left home at the age of seventeen to live at the Clara de Hirsch home for working girls.

“There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is the American Dream” (Archibald Macleish). The American Dream is not always seen the same way for everyone. But, for most it's, “an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative”(“American Dream”). Although the ideal way to achieve success is by one's sweat and toil, some believe that by just coming to America

During the past few years, I discovered some affectable thing about how I can learn English. In my study journey, I started to learn English when I first attend to school. I have been learning English for my whole learning life, but I was not familiar in English when I was studying in Hong Kong. After I came to America and started to attend school here, I discovered that if I want to be accustomed to English, I had to change my mindset and value. When I was in elementary school at Hong Kong,

from Poland, the struggles faced in her homeland, hope for freedom in America and heartbreaking craving for an American identity. Known as “Queen of the Ghetto,” and “The Immigrant Cinderella,” Yezierska came to see America as an idea, “a deathless hope – a world still in the making” (Yezierska 6). Yezierska, fearing that America had lost the “richness of its soul,” chose to write about her life, and the trials that Jews endured in the ghetto of New York, poverty they left Poland to escape.

For example, in the story, “America and I” by Anzia Yezierska, when the Russian immigrant arrived at the house of the Americanized family working as a servant, they made her felt less, not paying her what she deserved, discriminating her looks, and her illegal status. This Americans, were also once Russian

The promise of America is that anyone, from anywhere, can live a free and prosperous life in the United States. As President FDR once said "We are all bound together by a hope of a common future rather than by reverence for a common past". He and many others believed in the American Dream, that has drawn hopeful masses of people to this country in search of "a better life". Although some believe that the American promise is still achievable, America no longer provides access to this dream. It has
