Sara's Story....

As I read further into Bread Givers, I am completely sucked into Sara's story. I find the fine line of respect and hatred so interesting to see unfold before my eyes. The story's progress, so far, makes me nervous for the girls and I completely feel for their characters. Yezierska's writing is strong and gives vivid detail into the lives of these girls who are repressed by their father's traditionalist wrath. I also think the underlying story of poverty makes the story more interesting to read. It puts a factor of survival into the story; will the girls be able to survive the father's wrath AND be able to eat the next day?
