HELP!! 50 points! ill give brainliest! I need 2 paragraphs (roughly 10 sentences) for this topic Imagine you were an immigrant coming to America in the late 1800s. What might your life look like once you have arrived in America? (You may choose to write this from the perspective of either a European immigrant or an Asian immigrant) (First Person Narrative)

Explanation:

I am from Asia, I am a Chinese immigrant. There are a lot of different people here. Most of them seemed to have arrived from northern and western European countries. They are referring to us migrating as the "old immigration wave" to the United States. I arrived on the West Coast (early 1850s). There are a lot here already. During the California Gold Rush, about 25,000 Chinese immigrants came to the United States. Famine in China pushed Chinese people such as me and my family from our original homeland. We took the opportunity to come to America in hopes of securing jobs or land. The Midwest was what we hoped for (my family and I) with its open spaces available for farming was the best option. Immigrants from Asia were attracted to the West Coast for the same reason that European immigrants were drawn to the East Coast. Jobs created by industrialization pulled immigrants to the cities.                                          

        The overseas journeys for immigrants were very difficult. Most immigrants traveled below-deck areas where the ship's steering mechanisms were located. Many of us became sick during the long voyage in the cramped and dirty places.

All types of immigrants from Asia arrived at Angel Island, in the San Francisco Bay. Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which prohibited new people like us coming to the U.S. The Chinese Exclusion Act limited Chinese immigration. The act was supposed to last only ten years but was not repealed until 1943.Only people whose fathers were U.S. citizens could enter the United States. States were difficult for many newly arrived immigrants. Many bought counterfeit papers that identified them as children of citizens. Angel Island officials had us there for months before accepting or rejecting our people.

We arrived in California (1850s) seeking riches, but instead we ended up working as manual laborers. We (Chinese immigrants) did much of the work laying track from west to east on the transcontinental railroad. On the West Coast, Chinese immigrants labored first in the gold mines and later as railroad workers.  

We lived in overcrowded, poorly constructed apartment buildings. Our community worked in dirty and dangerous factories, small shops, or mills called sweatshops. The conditions for these jobs were absolutely terrible. Most of us worked in unskilled jobs in the garment industry or construction.

We were given dangerous jobs and paid less than other workers. There was a lot of discrimination between us. Life was difficult for my family. Jobs had low pay and long hours. Though we faced a great deal of prejudice, some of us were eventually able to open their own businesses, working as launderers, shoemakers, and other service jobs.

In conclusion, We faced a great deal of prejudice for being Chinese (being from Asia). People called nativists wanted literacy tests for immigrants, especially like us. Congress passed a literacy test in 1917 to keep people who could not read English from entering the country. This was mostly meant for us. Then Congress decided to pass the Immigration Act of 1924, it limited total immigration to 164,000 people per year. In July 1927, the number was reduced to 150,000 per year. It banned Asian immigration completely. The act also restricted immigration from southern and eastern Europe. My family and I came from China. My family thought it would be in my best interest. We live in a community filled with our own, so we can keep traditions and culture, mostly everything else has changed. It is not the nieces place to live, but it is what we call home now. Overall this whole experience was not pleasant.

The harbor that I had left a while ago was not as busy as the harbor that I have just arrived in. I am filled with the hopes that my life will be made easier in the United States of America. That will be able to be free and live the life that I want, a better life for the future. I am in line at a small island before I go to the main land and there are people that are trying to get the men to allow their kids in but they say no, I wonder why the kids have big letters on the back of their clothes? Once I got in to the building they did all sorts of tests and then they let me through. when I went to the center I here someone speak in my native language and I start to gravitate towards them. When I get to them they explain these job opportunities and I jump to the chance. However, when I got the neighborhood that I would live in for a long time to come, there it was barely something that a adult would want to live in let alone a child. After a few months I realize that the streets are not paved with gold and that I would have been better off with staying at home. If I had known I wouldn't have come here.

Does this help?
