Sara Smolinsky and Cultural Pluralism in Jewish-American Culture

George Schuyler's article "The Negro Art Hokum" claims that the notion of African American culture and American national culture is meaningless. For Schuller, all the different elements of African-American culture and artistic creation apparently are influenced by American white culture, so Americans are the only one. The advantage of Schuyler's claim arises from the fact that it is virtually impossible for culture to exist within the scope of other cultures without absorbing certain features.

Discussions on the differences between cultures and generations between Sarah and her father are similar to that of most immigrant families. Sarah's father, Reb Smolinski, is regarded as a conservative, religious and obstinate character representing the old culture. My daughter Sarah is a person, symbolic of Americanism, unique, radical, self-perception. The story happened 100 years ago and it is completely different from the world we live in today. Rebes Molinski believes that men are the heads of families that women must be ordered by men. He broke his daughter and his lover with his wisdom to fit the man he did not really like. For example, a diamond dealer Moe Mirsky considers it a fraud, he is actually a salesperson at a diamond store and bought a grocery store for his mistake.

Reb Smolinsky - Smolinski head and Sara 's main opponent. Rebes Molinsky devoted his life to his religious beliefs and devoted his life to Torah and other Jewish Bible studies. The spirit he gathered from these studies met him with a sacred light that fear others, but when Reb Smolinsky confused this spiritual knowledge with more secular wisdom, it caused family problems I will. His innocence often made him a foolish decision, and he refused to claim he claimed that he knew he would never do such a mistake. After his wife died he quickly remarried and forced him to accompany his daughter as long as he knew someone needed to take care of him.

Sara Smolinsky - the youngest Smolinsky daughter, and a baker's narrator. Sara is the most independent from Reb Smolinsky's daughter. She admired her father's dedication and inner fire, but he was also dissatisfied with his hypocrisy and the denial of all the daughters. While seeking a voluntary and understandable role model more than Rebes Molinski, she decided to mute a man with similar dedication and firepower. Sarah does not mind trying hard to get what she wants, but she is always keen on friendship and tends to romanticize the circumstances, sometimes she has to go from the ultimate goal I deviate.
