Representaion As Books Dreams In The Golden Country: the Diary of Zipporah Feldman, a Jewish Immigrant Girl, New York City, 1903 (Dear America)

This is the diary of Zipporah Feldman. Zippy's family came over to America in 1903 in hopes of a better life. Her father has already come over and established a life for himself and his family. Zippy has two sisters, Tovah, who becomes very involved in the unions, and Miriam, who falls in love with an Irish boy. Zipporah wants to do what is best for her family and help out whenever she possibly can. Her Mama and Papa will not let her work though, on account of her age, so Zippy must go to school. Since she is so behind in America, she must start at grade three and work her way up. Zipporah meets Blu, and together these two girls come up with a plan to be in the eighth grade in a short time. Zippy's plans don't seem to go as she planned though when her family cannot get along, Miriam runs off with her boyfriend, Blu's father runs away and Blu falls behind in school, and Mama doesn't want to leave her old ways behind and become a true American. Zippy seems to push through everything as best she can in hopes of pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. Will things work out for Zippy in the end? Or will she be left with hanging dreams and never become who she has always wanted to be? I liked this book, especially the way that it was set up. It was neat to read a book that was written like a diary, and this made it very easy and quick to read. The historical aspect of the book is greatly accurate, which makes this all the better to read because of how informational it is. Even though it is written in 1903 by a Jewish immigrant, it is even very easy to read because it is written in an eleven-year-old's language from 1903, but in a way that people of today can understand it very easily. As a future teacher, I would use this book and probably anyone in the series for any historical unit I was teaching. I think that it would give the students a great look into how life would have been for them if they had been alive during this time period, and it will make them feel more connected to the reading because the character is around their age. Also, the fact that it is written like a diary so the pages are not completely full with text will make it more enjoyable by many students. Because it is a historical fiction book, this would be a great book to use to introduce this genre to students.

Gives quite an informative view of life in the US for Russian Jewish immigrants.

Another excellent diary in the series. This book was a great one to follow the shirtwaist factory diary I just read previously. Again, I learned a lot more than I had known, and I found myself getting very involved with the characters and their situations. It continually amazes me that stamina these early immigrants had to succeed. They are to be commended. I don't think people growing up in my time really have a full appreciation of it. I highly recommend this book to both young and older

I've read two Dear America books now, this being the 2nd. I had heard great things about them, but so far, I found them merely average. These are children books, but that doesn't mean adults can't like them, and I usually like children's novels.Zipporah and her family are new immigrants to America. Here they are starting over with a new life, but they have to make sure they are adjusting to life appropriately as it is very different from what they are used to. While her sisters each have

i like the book so much that it make me think of a part in my life that my famliy nevreto brake up or have to go some whare to live alone.

As all books in the Dear America series, this one is written in a first person journal format. Its one of my favorite ways a book is written in. Dreams in the Golden Country is filled with lots of family drama. Between major events that happen with her sisters and small ones that happen with her parents, Zipporah certainly has her hands full. Her family has just come to America and they really struggle finding a middle ground between this new way of life and the ways of the old country. Over all

It's 1903, and Zipporah Feldman, her older sisters Miriam and Tovah, and their mother have come to join Papa in New York City, fleeing the persecution of Jews in their small Russian village. As she struggles to adjust to the American way of life, fit in at her new school, and learn English, Zippy, as she is calld, writes in her diary of how her father is becoming more American every day, Miriam is in love with a Catholic boy, Tovah is obsessed with fighting for better labor condition, and Mama

This book is written like a diary. Zipporah is the one doing the talking. She is 10 years old when her family immigrates from Russia to America. She keeps a diary for about 18 months. All her hopes, dreams and tragedy's are written here. The first thing she has to do is go to school. Since Zipporah can't speak English very well they put her in with the first graders. But she learns fast and moves up through the school system. Zipporah's one big dream is to become an actress in the theater. Does
