I Came a Stranger The Story of Hilda Satt Polacheck

1. Describe at least five jobs that Hilda held. What conditions did she face at those jobs? Look at conditions broadly. This can be actual physical conditions, but also policy and rules, discrimination, arbitrary firings, etc. Don’t simply say, long hours, low pay, bad working conditions because that does not show me you read the book. After looking at her experience, compare it to working conditions you learned about while taking notes for Test 1. Do you think her experience was typical of most immigrants? Explain.

(Don’t just say she was nice to immigrants! Give me some specific activities from the book so I can tell you read instead of just looking up Addams in Wikipedia or another online source.)

5. In the Lecture Video about the Progressives, we learned about several interpretations for why the Progressives tried to help working class people. Those reasons were Altruism, Social Control, Maintain Status Quo, Creating a place for women. Jane Addams had enough wealth and status that she did not have to live in the poor working class the neighborhood where Hull House was located. Do any of those reasons describe the reason Addams spent her life in that neighborhood? Does Hilda’s book give you hints about other reasons she devoted her life to helping the poor? Explain your answer.
