How did the passing of the Chinese Exclusion Act impact Chinese immigrants in the 1880s?

The exclusion laws had dramatic impacts on Chinese immigrants and communities.

The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 was a United States federal law prohibiting all immigration of Chinese laborers.

The Act significantly decreased the number of Chinese immigrants to the United States and forbade those who left to return. Any Chinese immigrants attempting to enter the United States became subjected to extreme government scrutiny and even detention.

Chinese communities broke apart as many families were forced apart. Chinese businesses were closed down and suffered loses. Because Chinese women were banned to enter the States previously ( Page Act of 1875 ,) a male dominated Chinese society was the norm. Because of the anti-Chinese feelings and anti-Chines pressure, Chinese only Chinatowns were established in urban areas as a place where the Chinese could retreat  into their own cultural and social colonies.

how is the theme to the narrator's power and superiority over the natives only an illusion developed in the story
zzz [600]

Answer:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "In a Native Village" by Louis Becke.

These are the options that come with this question:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator bribes the authorities to ensure that he has power and preference over the villagers.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.
  • The narrator establishes a series of declarations and rules to assert authority over the villagers.

In this story, we learn about the experiences of a European man in an island off the coast of Australia. This man arrived to the village with a couple of prized pigs. This, as well as his wealth, is meant to establish him as a leader in the community. However, contrary to expectations, the men in the island do not respect him. Moreover, they constantly trick him and take advantage of him. This shows that the narrator's power over the natives is only an illusion.

Choose the best answer. Make sure you read the question and all of the choices before selecting and answer. Review the conflict
nata0808 [166]

Option number 1 analyzes the conflict developed on the plot. It builds suspense about whether or not Theseus will succeed.

Theseus was the son of <em>Aegeus</em> and volunteered to go to <em>Crete Island</em> to kill the infamous Minotaur, a half man, half bull. The suspense created during the trip makes the reader think about the future of Theseus and Athens.

Once inside the labyrinth, Theseus has a savage fight and defeated the Minotaur ripping one of its horns and stuck it into the Minotaur's neck.

The story of Minos, the island of Crete and the Minotaur is an important part of the Greek Mythology that has influenced the culture of that European region.
