Эссе по Истории

Write a 4-page paper on the following topic. You can use 11 or 12-point font. Papers must be double spaced with one-inch margins.  Indicate the page number (or Kindle location) in parentheses following each quotation. Cite the edition of Yekl that you are using. (Some editions of Yekl include another story by Abraham Cahan. That story is NOT assigned.)  Be sure to give your paper a title.

 Consider the ways in which Yekl (Jake) seeks to become American by participating in popular commercial culture. Why does he reject Gitl even after she makes an effort to look more American?  How does Cahan’s portrayal of Jake’s social world illustrate Kathy Peiss’s description of working class immigrant culture?   Be sure to use specific examples as you write your essay.
