Quote #7
"You'll stay there too long and you'll be too good for us." (6.19)
In another passage Neil wonders if Brenda's wealth will take away her uniqueness. Here, Gladys thinks that wealth and privilege will set up a wall between Neil and his family in Newark. Is she right? Would it? Does it have to?
Quote #8
Patimkin Kitchen and Bathroom Sinks was in the heart of the Negro section of Newark. Years ago, at the time of the great immigration, it had been the Jewish section. (6.218)
Quite a contrast to the Patimkin home in Short Hills, but this is also the heart of that home. An interesting point of contrast: in Newark, business and residences are interspersed, but, for the most part, not in Short Hills. What, if anything, does this have to do with immigration?
