Anne's was a life filled with significant events. The trial and home confinement of her father was the most significant of her childhood. The education she received from her father at this time would prepare her well for her own trial. She had a deep confidence in

During World War II, the Japanese-Americans were put in internment camps because they were not trusted after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Louise Ogawa was put one of these camps in Poston, Arizona. You can clearly see that she has a positive attitude when you first begin reading her letter. In the letter, Louise says, “We traveled through desert after desert. There were many houses which looked as if they were built many years ago. We seldom saw a human being except when passing through a small town. One of the most beautiful scenery was when crossing a bridge which was right above the Colorado River. It is, indeed, a beautiful river.” (StudySync, Dear Miss Breed, Paragraph 19) Louise finds something to be happy about even though she is in the middle of nowhere, also in the extreme heat. Even when she has to deal with extreme heat, little water, and poorly made cabins, Louise is still optimistic. Also in

Anne thinks that she is not included in family news, and thinks that she is left out of Jenny’s life.

Afraid and helpless, I couldn’t do the thing that I most wanted- to change things back to the way they were.” Mary, along with thousands of other Japanese-Americans went through a lot following Pearl Harbor. Nearly three months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Franklin Delano Roosevelt issued the Executive Order 9066. This ordered the Japanese residing in the west coast states of America to be evacuated. Along with thousands, Mary and her family were forced to leave their home on Vashon Island. Mary was to pack up her entire life, limited to space and forced to leave the only place she knew as home. Mary by birthright was a U.S. citizen. “In one fell swoop, the government robbed us of our rights. Now, because of our Japanese heritage, we were the “non-aliens” and our parents were the “aliens” The Japanese people were evacuated and moved to internment camps inward from the west coast. Mary lived in several different internment camps during World War II. She writes about her life and experiences living in several different internment camps throughout the mid-west. Life in this internment camps was not nearly as grand as Mary’s life before in Washington. In the first

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, she was put into an internment camp because of her Japanese ancestry. Her entire life, as well as her career was put on hold because of her internment. When she was brought to the assembly center for internees, she was interviewed; “As a result of the interview… my family name was reduced to No. 13660. I was given several tags bearing the family number, and was then dismissed” (¨The Life of Miné Okubo¨). Miné was dehumanized because instead of being called by her name, she was known as a number. She was first sent to the Tanforan camp first but was later transferred to Topaz internment camps. Also, she could only take with her certain necessities to the camp and was allowed very few of her personal belongings. She and thousands of other Japanese Americans were United States citizens like her were denied their rights as citizens. Miné, when she lived in the camp Tanforan, had to live in old horse stalls, with nails sticking out of the walls and dirt, dust, and grime covering it. They were treated like animals, being kept inside a cage. Japanese- Americans were also isolated from the world around them. They could only leave with very strict circumstances, some camps wouldn’t allow internees to leave at all. Miné was very isolated from the world outside the camp; “We were close to freedom and yet far from it… Streams of cars passed by all day. Guard towers and barbed wire surrounded the entire center. Guards were on duty day and night” (¨The Life of Miné Okubo¨). Miné Okubo as well a other Japanese-Americans like her were isolated from the outside world but could still hear what was going on around them. They were forced to hear what they were missing. Also, Miné Okubo resisted being inside a camp not able to do the thing she loved, which was art. She would teach art classes to kids with the resources she could find and began telling her story of internment through her art. Later, Miné

After reading chapter one of the book I learned that Ann Moody provided the readers with great information pertaining her life at the age of four. In chapter one, Anne considerably supplied the readers with the time, setting, and

Valerie Matsumoto talks about the time in history during the second world war when America removed over 100,000 American Japanese citizens from the comfort of their homes.The bombing of Pearl Harbor planted fear in America arousing suspicion of Japanese spies and traitors. This led to concentration camps of Japanese American citizens. Matsumoto also discusses the camp living situations, families surviving, the work that had to be done, food and sanitary conditions, and most importantly, how women survived in these difficult times. She also focuses on the Issei and the

For Japanese people living in America, WWII spelled disaster. Not only was their country of origin at war with the country they lived in, but public opinion combined with the unchecked power of Executive Order 9066 forced 110,000 Japanese people out of their homes and into inhospitable Internment camps scattered across the US. Jeanne Wakatsuki's autobiographical Farewell to Manzanar captures the internment camp’s effect on her family. While Jeanne and her father are at the heart of the story, the war also has a profound effect on Jeanne’s mother “Mama.” Jeanne’s mother experiences very negative circumstances during internment including feeling dehumanized and witnessing the disintegration of her family. One surprising slightly positive impact

“The sign of a great teacher is that the accomplishments of her students exceed her own.” stated by Aristotle, a Greek philosopher and scientist. Anne Sullivan Macy was a great teacher, because her student Helen Keller’s achievements were outstanding.

Anne Moody did not want to give up what she relied on, and she fought for her rights with everything she had in her. Her willingness to stand for what she thought was right was always there and the reluctance of her family to fight as well as her confidence that she could be regarded as equal within the white community were reasons that sustained her transition into the activist. Throughout her childhood, she was taught about social norms that could not be broken by blacks if they wanted to gain the semblance of acceptance. However, she always questioned the arguments as to why the black community had to be segregated. And even among the black community she belonged to, there was a division between the darker and lighter skinned blacks.

Circumstances: Jeanne- She and her family were typical Americans living in Los Angeles. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, her father was considered a suspect and was shipped off to Bismark.

Iva Toguri was born on July 4th, 1916 in Los Angeles, California. She left the U.S.A. for Japan to further her study in medicine and take care of her ill aunt not long after graduating from UCLA. Once healthy, Iva Toguri’s aunt turned her out on her own, claiming it was too expensive to feed her. Forced to find a job rather quickly, she picked up a job as a local radio station broadcaster. While working that job, Toguri married a Portuguese citizen, Felipe D’Aquino and denied many offers by family and friends to become a Japanese or Portuguese citizen. However, when she attempted to return to America, she was told there was no proof of her citizenship and was required to stay in Japan. Shortly after, Toguri was “hand picked” by the executive producer of “Zero Hour”, a radio station produced by the Japanese government, to cover a segment broadcasted to the American Troops and their allies. Iva Toguri broadcasted under the name of Orphan Ann or Orphan Annie--but was swindled into signing a contract labeling her as the Tokyo Rose some time post war when interviewed by journalists.
