Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. Hilda Satt Polacheck's autobiography entitled "I Came a Stranger: The Story of a Hull House Girl" tellingly reflects a time of drastic change, both within her personal life as well as in the lives of her family. The author's account of emigrating to the United States was initially not as rosy as, perhaps, she had anticipated, noting that her reality was in a constant state of chaos and lacking essential discipline. Indeed, Polacheck quickly became discombobulated by American customs and habits, escaping what might have otherwise been a downward spiral of social survival had it not been for the intervention of Jane Addams and Hull House.

for Polachecks initial impression is the fact that she unfairly compared the United States with her homeland, a place that obviously held considerably more appeal to her. Fondly recalling
how "the Vistula River is a very happy memory" (Polacheck 7), the author soon counters such recollection with a much more disturbing memory: that of being a Jew in Poland
