"Behind The Urals" By John Scott
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Leaving America for the very same reason others seek out its open-armed borders, John Scott removed himself from the comfort and safety of the United States and sought to find what he thought would be a more suitable life for himself. Little did he know when he chose Russia – more particularly Magnitogorsk in the Ural Mountains – that he had literally thrust himself into a time warp of how America had been tens of decades ago prior to any union implementation or basic humane approach to the value of life. What Scott ultimately gained throughout his journey to find himself outside the protected perimeters of the United States was a wakeup call that completely reversed his opinion about how "sadly dislocated" (p. 3) America had become and unappealing to a university graduate with "young energy and enthusiasm" (p. 3) during the Depression. No additional sources cited.
