Question

Despite her wealth, why would Jane Addams choose to live at Hull House? 1.because she wanted to take pity on immigrants

2.because she could learn their needs by living amongst them
3.because she wanted to refuse the wealth of the elite
4.because she wanted to keep Starr company

Answer 1

The correct answer is 2.because she could learn their needs by living amongst them

She wanted to make an inclusive society that can become socially reformed. She didn't feel pity for them but rather helpful and wanted to help them develop and succeed. Her wealth was not a problem so she found Hull house and had classes and courses there to educate them as well as theater and literary evenings and similar events.
