Long Answer

1. Bitton-Jackson goes from being an ordinary schoolgirl to a persecuted minority practically overnight. The minor figure of Novák adds to the book’s overall theme of The Loss of Innocence. (Chapters 1-5)

2. On a basic level, the chapter is called “The Statue of Liberty” because it describes the moment when Bitton-Jackson and her mother land in America. On a deeper level, the Statue of Liberty invokes a sense of hope and new beginnings, as the iconic symbol for all immigrants who are looking for “freedom from the past” (193). (Chapter 40)
