    This example illustrates how Bulosan reinforces the dominant racial hierarchy of Americans over Filipinos through the specific word choices. In this instance, this quote occurs in the chapter following the TB diagnosis and in the later part of the book. Bulosan could have chosen to make this sentence more succinct, but instead he expands on the idea of going to school In America over the Philippines. What really makes this example interesting is that this exchange takes place after Allos’s TB diagnosis, so the argument could be made that he is reflecting on his life. At this point in the reading, the TB diagnosis makes him sympathetic in the eyes of his audience, since with TB, death is an inevitability.…
