What is iris Chang's purpose for writing building the transcontinental railroad?cite evidence from the text that helps you infer her purpose

 I cannot directly quote or cite specific passages from Iris Chang's work on the transcontinental railroad without having the text available, as my ability to access external content or databases is limited. However, I can help you understand what an author's purpose generally is and how you might infer it from a text like Chang's work.

An author's purpose is the reason why they write a particular piece of work. It could be to inform, persuade, entertain, or express feelings. In the context of Iris Chang and her historical writing, it's likely that her purpose was to inform and educate readers about the history of the Transcontinental Railroad, particularly emphasizing elements like the experiences of Chinese immigrants who played a significant role in its construction.

To infer Iris Chang's purpose, you would look for evidence in the text where she perhaps shares detailed historical information, provides in-depth character profiles, uses narratives about the workers' lives, or includes testimonies and records. The inclusion of such elements would suggest she intends to shed light on the historical facts and the human stories intertwined with the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.
