I need an essay written on the Italian American Experience through the novel Umbertina. You must have read the novel before and understand. I need direct quotes from the book to. The exact writing prompt is: How does Umbertina represent the Italian American experience? What is the role of memory in this novel? Why and how does Umbertina challenge the linear, rags-to-riches story of assimilation that is commonly used to represent the immigrant experience?
