1.) The narratives used in describing the Filipinx and Filipinx Americans in 1900 is a linear narrative. A linear narrative presents events of the story in the order in which they happened. The essay arranges its events in the order in which they happened. For Example, it begins in 1521 with the arrival of an explorer who labeled the Philippines a Spanish colony. Followed by the Independence of the United States in 1946, and the events followed periodically. 2.) To show other minority groups that the U.S has changed, it began hiring skilled labor from other countries. As a result, many nurses in the United States were Filipino. When the U.S acquired the Philippines, a Nursing program was implemented. This was a way of preparing Pilipino nurses to work in America.
