Topic: Choose a reading. In your project, consider the following:
What does this work reflect about its historical, social, political
and/or economic context?
Historical writings have always fascinated me so I think this topic
would be perfect to look at again. I've taken numerous history classes,
I've taken a few economic classes and I also took political science, so I
feel like looking into the reflection of those issues within historical
writings would be neat. Throughout this topic, I hope to learn about
the way that different contexts of the writings highlight the period of
time that they were written.
I decided to use the story of the 4 anonymous Chinese immigrants because I feel like what each story had to tell has a perfect representation of the topic about America in the time that these immigrants started to come here. I can use each story to talk about a different aspect of history, and then like for the historical context, all of the stories could be utilized but the social, political and economical could have each one of the stories be used for that.

him: Soon he will be six feet underground." (Anonymous Chinese
Immigrants, Poem #3, 355).
