Main Topic Question:<\/p>\n
How does Hilda Satt Polacheck\u2019s autobiography reflect the larger 19th century immigrant experience?<\/b><\/p>\n
As you formulate you answer, you may want to consider the following questions:<\/p>\n
-What \u2018push\u2019\/\u2019pull\u2019 factors attracted Satt and others to the United States? (i.e. What is driving them from their home nations\/drawing them to the U.S.?)<\/p>\n
-How did her daily life change after moving to the U.S.?<\/p>\n
-What institutions in the United States did immigrants use to help them identify as Americans?<\/p>\n
These are by no means the only points\/themes you may include in your paper! There are a TON of different ways this document reflects the immigrant experience (as delineated in lectures, the textbook, and the assigned readings).<\/p>\n
