Consider the following questions, answer thoroughly in essay form 1,000 words, double-spaced quoting the TEXT:

How did late twentieth century American Jews, approaching a new century, choose to view the jewish experience at the beginning of their own century?

To what degree did their later perspectives color those earlier events?

And to what degree did those initial immigrant hopes and aspirations, sold to them as the "American Dream," encouraging them to adopt American behavior and customs, actually come to fruition?

Was this earlier negotiated deal deemed successful in the eyes of their end of the century descendants?

Were late 20th century Jews sufficiently secure as Americans to consider the Dream's possible failures as well as indulge in an on going desire for it to be true?

Did the realities of their 20th century experience in fact live up to the aspirations of their fantasies even as they were approaching a new millennium?
