Was it fair?
Do you think it was fair how the Japanese Americans were put into the internment camps even if they had nothing to do with the bombing of Pearl Harbor? This topic is very debatable and can go both ways. I think it wasn’t that fair to the people that weren’t involved. Especially because of the way they were treated. They were given poorly structured homes for they conditions they lived in and they were also given little food rations. They were held for quite a long period of time too. By keeping all the Japanese American’s in camps, this can cause some problems around the world with other countries as well. When the Japanese were released to go home, most of them did not have a home to go to and most could not find jobs. This led many to be homeless or die of starvation. What do you think?
What impact did my character leave on this world. . .
My character doesn't have a name throughout this story, because she is the one telling the story. She did leave a big impact on the world though. In fact her entire race did. She really isn’t the main focus in the story. The main idea is Japanese Internment after the bombing of 9/11. Her family is just the ones telling of the hardships they faced being in Camp Manzanar. They tell of how their papa was taken away from them and them they were forced to move into theses camps with their family. They were put into little barrack shelters with random strangers. The camp was located in the middle of a desert to keep their destination private. They were given little food and water. All the families were put to work inside the camp. The camp lasted a good fifteen years before they were released. Papa finally got to rejoin the family in the camp after about a year and a half of being in the other camp. This life was truly harsh.
If you had the chance to meet the main character. . .
If I had the chance to meet the main character I would ask them how life was like living in the Manzanar Camp. I wouldn't know what to do if I was her. She was only seven years old when she moved into the camp. I'm fourteen years old and to think that I though I had a rough life. I would also ask her what it was like to have her papa taken away from her. She loved her dad very much and to have him taken away must have been very heartbreaking. I love my dad and wouldn't trade him for the world! The last question I would ask her is what it was like having to live in the camp and some of the things they did. I would want to know what her daily routine was, if she worked anywhere, or what kind of games she played to pass the time!
