Write a reading response pa.per discussing “Breaking the Silence on Angel Island’s Immigration Station” by Marisol Medina-Cadena and Ah Hee Lee’s “Conversation with Immigration Officer”
Instructions
Ae Hee Lee’s poem “Conversation with Immigration Officer” recalls the history of the Angel Island Immigration Station in which officials interrogated immigrants—the majority of whom were Chinese—to ensure that they really were who they said they were.

First, if you have not already, read/listen to the following report, “Breaking the Silence on Angel Island’s Immigration Station” (Links to an external site.) by Marisol Medina-Cadena and Ah Hee Lee’s “Conversation with Immigration Officer.” (Links to an external site.)

Then, in an pa.per of at least 750 words, address the following questions:

First, discuss the treatment of detainees at the Angel Island Immigration Station.
How did Chinese immigrants at the Angel Island Immigration Station take advantage of the 1906 earthquake and fire in San Francisco to claim exemption from the Chinese Exclusion Act? (In your response, discuss the meaning of the terms “pa.per sons” and “pa.per daughters.”)
Finally, describe the conversation between the immigration officer and the female immigrant (who is identified as “you”) in Ae Hee Lee’s poem. What is your interpretation of the immigrant’s responses to the officer? (Remember that interpreting poetry is highly subjective, so be creative; there is no wrong answer!)
For full credit, please support your claims with . . .

At least two direct quotations:
One or more from the primary text: Ah Hee Lee’s “Conversation with Immigration Officer”
One or more from the secondary text: “Breaking the Silence on Angel Island’s Immigration Station” by Marisol Medina-Cadena

Sample Solution

Angel Island State Park is a short ferry ride away from San Francisco’s wharf. Most visitors ike cycling around, picnic and catch a stunning glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge.But hidden in plain sight is a remnant of a time when California wasn’t so welcoming to immigrants. It’s a historic landmark that many Bay Area residents and visitors don’t realize exists on the scenic island. A steep, but short, climb up 144 stairs, and a trek over to a hidden cove is required to visit the place often called “The Ellis Island of the West.’.”But unlike Ellis Island, the Angel Island Immigration Station was anything but welcoming.

o Produce: The private businesses groups or individual decide on who and how will be the production of potential goods take place.

No involvement of government and legal policies of anti-discrimination and equal employment is observed in this choice (Moyher, 2017).

What to produce: In economies of the pure market, the private business group decide by themselves regarding the goods that are to be produced. The business people themselves play the role of making decisions on categories of goods that are to be produced without any anti-monopoly and anti-trust laws of government (Moyher, 2017; Johansson, Karlsson and Westin, 2012).

For whom to produce: After production of goods, the highest bidders are selected for selling the goods who can pay highest prices with no concern and interference of government (Johansson, Karlsson and Westin, 2012; Moyher, 2017).

Section 2.3 Price Mechanism under the Pure Market Economy

As per Meyer and Ahlert (2019), the price mechanism, potentially in the pure market economy, works based on price elasticity which generates according to fluctuation in the goods’ demands. As the demand for goods gets raised in this type of market, the price rate also tends to get increased simultaneously. Moreover, while the demand gets decreased, the price rate also gets decreased so as to increase the sales anyhow by creating a sense of cost reduction. In addition to this, the price mechanism in the pure market economy also helps in organising the production of products and goods. Further, the price mechanism would also help in distributing the developed goods in the market, which would further help in enhancing the economy of the country. The price mechanism would also help in resolving the issues related to the production of the goods and services as well as helps in defining the quantity of the products to be developed (Meyer and Ahlert, 2019).

Section 3: Centrally Planned Economy

Section 3.1 Introduction

Hare (2013) reviewed that a Centrally Planned Economy (CPE) is an economic system where the state of the government plays a chief role in making economic decisions. The involvement of the customers and business enterprises is not identified in the decision-making process in a CPE. The business enterprise owned by the state is respons
