Please finish reading the book (from the page “The ship docked at Ellis Island” onward).
Then, please answer the following question:
With the ideas of “The Promised Land” and the “American Dream” we discussed today in class in mind, what does Jessie learn about America? Is America at all like the stories she has heard? Why or why not?
Also, please translate the note that Jessie wrote to her Grandmother on the page beginning “You must go to school..” into Chinese. You do not need to post your translation on the forum, but instead be prepared to translate your note back into English during next class. We will see how closely your translation matches Jessie’s note.
