Document Summary
I came a stranger: the story of a hull-house girl review. Long story short- an immigrant girl, hilda, came to america with her family. Her dad died and she went to work to help her family make rent. Her friend brought her to jane addams" hull house one day, and a few months later she finally got to go back. She started to frequent there and became close to jane. Jane gave her the opportunity to see plays, teach others english, take a college writing class, and have better jobs usually not open to immigrants. Jane also taught hilda many values, acceptance, etc. Hilda met bill and they got married- that is when hilda officially became an american because she married an american citizen- and that is where i stopped reading. What push and pull factors did they experience: push and pull factors- pull, opportunity, and a better life. Push, religion, money: they were fairly typical.
