Coming To America Yezierska Analysis

As Yezierska’s experience in America Progresses, her tone evolves from oblige, radiant, and emptiness. She has been through a lot in her lifestyle. She struggles, finds imperfection, disagreements, and a lot of down hearted things. She has to figure out how everything works in America now that she moved from Russia. First off, Yezierska’s is a girl that lives in Russia; she is misapplying about living in Russia because she wanted to be in America. When she said “ One of the millions of immigrants beating, beating out of their hearts at your gates for a breath of understanding.” She is trying to tell America to understand how she feels or what she went through. She is so melancholy about not getting a good treatment in Russia. Her dream is to come to America because she thinks that
America is better.
She talks about deathless songs turning prison; well she saying like music of life is dead, but also trying to find a way to feel alive. She is the type of person who is struggling in here home but trying to succeed at the end. She would have liked more opportunities and she didn’t get them. Like this, she is trying to tell u that Russia was detestable. She was so impatient to go so she went to America. Well then she arrives in America with her pregnant soul, willing to fill in the chance there her parents and grandparents didn’t get to do. She said she was going to find work that she wasn’t allowed in Russia. She stated in Chunk 1 para 6 “ My work would be the living job of fullest self-expression.” She thinking she has more opportunities in America than Russia and she is going to have the time of her life. She goes to America and finds out they have no common language, no way to win a smile of understanding from them, she just had her strong body and
untried faith. She really was confused because she can’t talk to nobody because everybody is speaking a different language. She is so undetermined about it all now because she is unskilled, untrained, not even wanted in the factory. Some people that came from the same place Anzia came from was healthy, well dressed, and well fed, so it’s really muddled about it. She thinking she so low down that nobody understands her. She just landed and is already thinking about money, well she should be because nobody can talk to her, and she has to eat, have shelter, and have a job. She felt sheltered when this lady with 2 kids said she could come stay with them. She was so overjoyed that she has some American friends. Well she gets brought into the house like a child by the hand and she is doing her job like she would in Russia but she is so excited about it because she gets to work with Americans and she get to hear our music. She said, “ I felt like Columbus, finding new worlds through every new word.” She is learning new worlds from the children etc. New words are making her see America better. She not afraid to ask people questions like she wasn’t with the policeman on the street. He was obliged for all the help.
Then, Everything was coming together and she is feeling so relieved about not being able to make it there. Although she has to have money for better clothes but she had to wait for a month and then she got her money and she was thinking about buying an American dress and hat. She said “I saw myself like a picture before my eyes.” She was saying she could change her looks buy dressing up and getting rid of the immigrants rags and look like an American. She had to wait for a certain time to get her money and she waited all day and she couldn’t tell the American friends about where her money. She was getting frustrated because they told her “ Haven’t you a comfortable bed to sleep, and three good meals a day? You’re only a month here.” She aggravated because she don’t have good enough and she just wants better things. She didn’t get any money and she was so choked on words about what the lady and gentleman said. That really got to her she was feeling inconsolable; she didn’t care what could happen after that because that really hurt her feelings. She went and got a second job because she could no longer trust and she couldn’t deal with getting rejected like that. This was the biggest radiant she was having. After that big deal about the first money she never got, she got money from her second job and it wasn’t that much money. She could only afford bread and rent and slept on a mattress with no bed frame. “ I was like a thing following blindly after something far off in the dark, she said.” She was right about that because she is working hard and she barley getting anything in return. She is so lost she doesn’t know what to do nor she cant ask for help ether. She was so exhausted about stay later and later for her job that she quit and now she is no longer having a place to stay and is now walking on the street. She goes and talks to this lady and she gets a big hit in the head. She gets a wake up call that America really isn’t want she expected. She said, “ All the light out of my eyes. My feet dragged after me like dead wood.” This is her saying she just got a real picture of America and she doesn’t like it. They was doing the immigrants that come disrespectful and she is saying her dreams where never going to come true. She was feeling straight emptiness because she thought is was going to be great there. Overall, there are numerous of tones to be nominated, but I choose mines wisely. I seen that Anzia Yezierska had thought America was going to be astonishing but came to find out it bring her down to because nothing was going as she imagined. She has to learn how to speak English. She only knows what it means to her in her mind and she understand it but cant speak with her words. She has got some exciting things happen but her tone is mostly blue. She has come to America and found out everything so she just has to find ways to get thru them. She was first given a free home with no money, then got money and quit, now she is trying to get into this program to learn English. She just been through so many downfalls she pretty much said she gave up. That’s Yezierska’s experience in America.
