Killer Hill One wrong step could lead me to my doom. I clutched onto a flimsy vine, thinking to myself no wonder it is called Killer Hill. I felt an overwhelming fear. The crusty green leaves on the trees engulfed me in their arms. I glanced in front of me, mud. I cautiously took a detour around the mud. Crack! I thought it was the deceased tree but it was... my feet destroying everything I stood on. A sigh of relief came over me like a gush of wind. I had conquered my fear, after having…

miserable working conditions, and race differences. The first reason, is that there were terrible living conditions for the workers. They only got $3 a month and were charged for passage,food, clothing, and housing. The Chinese were taken to grass houses with dirt floors, and sometimes as much as forty men were put into one room. Before, going to the field they would get a bowl of rice before the work actually happens. My second reason, there was miserable working conditions for the…
