This ultimately led to the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 (Chinese Immigration). The Chinese Exclusion Act helped prevent the…

Steinbeck illustrates both of these extremes in his novel through the characters within the ranch of the town of Soledad, California.

It is apparent throughout the story that…
