Chapter 8

For Chapter 8 I was very interested in the stories about  the immigration of Eastern European Jews, because they have such a interesting mis-mash of Old World traditions and American values. This was interesting to me because upon reading the chapter I inferred that the cultural differences arose between the traditional values of the parents who had immigrated and their American born children. This age driven cultural difference is not remarked about in other cultures, I think this is because writing is very much a part of the Jewish culture and have more written  records of this trend. An example is a book titled Bread Givers it is written by a Jewish American immigrant who describes this beautifully and it is one of my favorite books. I wonder if Parents of other cultures have this cultural disconnect with their American born children and why there is not as many stories or written evidence.
