Read the excerpt from "America and I
"Day after day, week after week, all the contact I got with America was handling dead buttons. The money I earned was hardly enough to pay for bread and
rent. I didn't have a room to myself. I didn't even have a bed. I slept on a mattress on the floor in a rat-hole of a room occupied by a dozen other
immigrants. I was always hungry-oh, so hungry! The scant meals I could afford only sharpened my appetite for real food. But I felt myself better off than
working in the "American family where I had three good meals a day and a bed to myself. With all the hunger and darkness of the sweat-shop. I had at
least the evening to myself. And all night was mine. When all were asleep, I used to creep up on the roof of the tenement and talk out my heart in silence to
the stars in the sky."
