Dobie Dobrejacak in Out of This Furnace by Thomas Bell makes the following quote on pages 410-411. If I'm anything at all I'm an American, only I'm not the kind you read about in history books or that they make speeches about on the Fourth of July; anyway, not yet. And a lot of people don't know what to make of it and don't like it. Which is tough on me but is liable to be still tougher on them because I dont have to be told that Braddock ain't Plymouth Rock and this ain't the year 1620." Explain what he means in your own words. Dobie is making a powerful statement about the prejudice that eastern European immigrants faced in industrial America of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Why does he make the reference to Plymouth and what does he mean? Obviously you must know something about the historical reference to Plymouth in 1620 and the kind of people who arrived there to answer this. What does he specifically mean when he muses that, a lot of people dont know what to make of it and dont like it. Which is tough on me but is liable to be still tougher on them... In the nearly seventy years since this novel first appeared could a second generation immigrant in Houston relate to Dobie's family's experience and also muse that I dont have to told that Houston ain't Plymouth Rock and this ain't the year 1620.
