Geary Act

Very few Chinese people, however were able to do so because “skilled and unskilled laborers and Chinese employed in mining” were considered excludable in the 1882 act (www.ourdocuments.gov). This act also affected the Chinese who were already legal citizens of the United States, forcing them to get recertified by the Chinese government. This act was short lived and expired in the same year it was passed. Congress, however, reinstated the act and renamed it the Geary Act in 1902. If a Chinese person in the United States was caught without their papers they faced immediate deportation. The 1917 Immigration Act, also known as the Asiatic Barred Zone Act was passed in order to keep the United States free of “undesirable” people, and avoid corrupting the existing citizens and ultimately making it even more difficult for Asians to enter into America. This act required those who inquired to become a US to be unaffiliated with the following, homosexuality, idiocy, feeble mindedness, criminal history, epilepsy, being insane, alcoholism, being a “professional” beggar, being mentally or physically “defective”, polygamy, anarchy, and advocating destruction of property and unlawful murder.…

During this time, we may remain close friends or distant acquaintances with one another. We may even experience an outfall due to an argument or betrayal. In rare cases, unforgiveable actions thrash the line of friendship. Depending on the situation, every individual acts differently. Burdened by low self esteem and eternal struggles,…

Ever since the introduction of sin onto the Earth, all of mankind eventually commit sins. Romans 3:23 states, “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Our inevitable crimes come to pass due to various stimuli. Many characters and symbols in Lord of the Flies by William Golding are shown to be capable of both good and evil. Golding offers the idea that society’s beast is innate in all of us (143). No matter how we act in convenient circumstances or where we grew up, we can all…

Instead of measuring how well you will do in learning and storing the information in…

When Jim speaks of the “real, real” truth, this suggests the acknowledgement of his prior inability to face the moral conscious effects of the Patna affair, while the “real” truth suggests his seemingly moral redemption in Patusan. Prior to his time on the Patna, Jim was aboard a training ship fantasizing about saving passengers from sinking ships and other heroic feats, when a group of fellow seamen notified him of a nearby conflict. Jim stood to see the seamen rushing up ladders to the deck,…
