The Caribbean consists of seemingly countless islands that all belong to different countries which have their own unique culture and race. The diversity in the Caribbean is due, in part, to the labour demands and migration patterns during the colonial period. In addition, the discourse used in relation to race during this time period helped to contribute to the use of slave labour from places like Africa and China. This paper will examine how the discourse used created the justification and…

His employment of these techniques are particularly effective in his descriptions of the trampled coolie and the death of the elephant. He devotes several paragraphs, enhanced by his liberal use of morbid diction, to each description. Orwell’s account of the elephant’s death is particularly gruesome: “Finally I fired my two remaining shots into the spot…

The Chinese continued to stay gallant and fight to be equal citizens of San Francisco. Many feared of their power, so the San Franciscans constantly plotted their elimination. During the years of the 1860s and 1870s, Anti- Coolie meeting occurred. The hate groups would constantly blame the Chinese for financial and economic issues.

Chinese man by hanging him on a noose in the background. On the wall behind Columbia and the Chinese man, there are various propaganda posters that state what the majority of people living in America thought about Chinese immigration.

of Economic tension, such as cheap labor, however, in my opinion the main reason that causes the law was racial tension. To start with, One of the main causes is Chinese were less than human. The “Political Cartoon, 1871” by Thomas Nast assert “coolie, slave, pauper, rat-eater” (Doc b). The American thinks that Chinese Can’t stand as a human, but a slave or even sub-human. It shows the racist from the white man against Chinese man. Although, The text also mentioned “ Importation of Chinese,…

finale of the story, the narrator feels great in shooting the elephant because he has accomplished something that he didn't want to.

Since the narrator explains that he killed the elephant to not look…
