Edith didn’t know why she was leaving her home, she thought everything was great and when she asked them why she was leaving they ignored her questions. When she got to the U.S she see told herself that the most important thing to do in in this new country was to earn enough money so her parents could come to America. She attended school and was picked on instantly. For example some of the names were Dirty Jew, Dirty Kraut, Goldilocks, etc. After reading this article what do you think an underdog is?
