Reread paragraphs 1-6 and summarize how the narrator feels about leaving Russia and immigrating to the United States. How does she expect her life to be better in America? Use text evidence to support your response.

This question is about the article "America and I".

When reading between paragraphs 1-6, we can see that when leaving Russia, the author has the concept of "American dream" alive. This is because the author lived an life of oppression and few resources in Russia. The author allows the reader to understand that her life in Russia was limited, small, without opportunities and sad, but that would change in America. For the author, America was the land of freedom, opportunity and hope. She felt that America would offer her everything that Russia denied her and that in America she would work, express herself, be happy, do the things she wanted and be fully accomplished, in addition to being allowed to follow her dreams and enjoy the her life as she wanted.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
