Chinese Immigrants in the 18th century suffered discrimination at every level of society. They denied the entrance of the aliens into what was regarded as a land for white only. After passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, the Laws not only prevented new immigration but also brought additional suffering to the Chinese. The "In the Land of the Free" was exposing the discrimination Laws and the Humanity of the Chinese but I want to figure out how important the law nowadays that can affect our entire living. That can be brought miserable life not to oblige rules.
In the story parents obey Laws of the white country. Laws that took their child from them. Hom Hing was patiently waiting for government decision regarding his son, like what he do before waiting his family after twenty moons. The father image was nothing while Lae Choo become miserable, the obedience mother was encounter difficulties while waiting his son like crying all night, not eating and upset. She felt depression that came to the point that she didn't figure out what happen around her house. the devoted mother continue hoping that law will give them freedom to be with their little one. Lae Choo life that full of lights become dark. One day, James Clancy as a way to represent the typical american of the time period and situation. He is a very stereotypical depiction of Lawyer. The heartless sharks looking to make money off of people who need them. Lawyer is simply desire for the money and not for the safety of the boy. And Immigration officers give the parents unfair treatment. The officers that seems to care only about the law and their instructions.
"Thus was the law of the land complied with" this is the quotes that show our gratitude to oblige the rules. Nowadays every country have their own Laws and culture that we followed people. What if Laws didn't exist we cannot gain peace, this was become our guide if this is not existing we don't know the legal and illegal actions in this world.
I conclude that author give sadness and suspense to the story and it comes to read between the lines to think what was happen that came to focus on the parents love for their child, but the story was pointing the law separate the family. Sometimes we need to obey the Law rather than what we feel is morally right. I had experience, my brother and I was first time to go out of country vacation. He is under age (below 18) , Immigration looking for travel clearance for children authorized by our parents allowing me to accompany my brother. Without those paper we can't pass the immigration, our consequences are we didn't visit the beautiful places and experience the delicious foods of Korea, also we feel upset and our effort to make those vacation become useless.
My essay writing was all about ,following the rules for us to avoid bad experiences resulting of not complying the rules or following. Discussing the difficulties that we get.
