Evacuation In Montecito Summary

1942 In December of 1941, Japan brought the United States into World War II by bombing Pearl Harbor. In response, the American government quickly enacted a number of evacuation orders that sent those of Japanese heritage living in the United States to internment camps. Fear was officially in the states and separating ourselves from the Japanese was our militaries best solution. The precautions brought about by the American government in response to these attacks from Japan can be identified in the short story, “Evacuation Order No. 19”.

In the scientific article,’’Super Disasters of the 21st Century,’’ by Jacqueline Adams and Ken Kostel, used text structure to visualize and organize their text about the natural disasters, causes and effects. They achieved this by using the strategy subheadings, and one example is, in paragraph 10 titles,’’Sinking City.’’ This foreshadows what event will happen next about the disaster of hurricane Katrina and focuses on the causes and effects of thedsaster. Authors may use subheadings also for organizing their text and to present information in the article. Next what the authors used in the scientific article,’’Super Disaster of the 21st century,’’ is figurative language, and to prove that it states

Like when Gazette wrote a story on daily life at school This give inaccurate and incomplete knowledge of the event because it give a much light tension of the event when the tension were extremely high.Carlotta says “Much of it was based on rumors and factual inaccuracies including a teacher who reporter to her class that the nine of us would be leaving at Thanksgiving” (A Mighty Long Way, page 107).The meaning of what she is saying is that they gave an inaccurate picture of what the Little Rock Nine really were experiencing. Also She had the immediate feeling that everything was all worked out, when in reality this was an inaccurate understanding of the event; no agreement had actually been reached (A Mighty Long Way, page 78).When reporters and newspaper articles presented an incomplete or inaccurate of events, it left the public with a picture of events that could have led to false or misleading conclusions.

Following the war, the JACL began a long series of legislative efforts to win the rights of Japanese Americans. In 1946, the JACL embarked on a hard-fought campaign to repeal California's Alien Land Law, which, enacted in the early years of the 20th century, prohibited all Japanese aliens (i.e. immigrants) from purchasing and owning land in the state, one of the most discriminatory statutes enacted in California against Japanese Americans. In 1948, the JACL helped found the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and, in the same year, succeeded in gaining passage of the Evacuation Claims Act, the first of a series of efforts to rectify the losses and injustices of the World War II

In the article “Pummeled Florida Staggers Toward Long Recovery” by Alexander Burns, informs the reader that Florida took most of the hit from hurricane Irma and it will take a long time for everything to be better. Beside Florida, three other states were on alert of strong winds and a tornado. To start with, hurricane Irma cause heavy rains, so that caused severe damages with the water and an amount of people weren’t able to evacuate. Due to this, the damages are going to cost repairs. Also, it turned off power lines. In consequence places are on alert. This is a awful event and it will take about a week, so we need to be alert.

One possible way of preparing in case of a flooding can be to have big containers (heavy duty ones) with for example, 50 gallons of water and 50 gallons of dry dog food in case the bags of food get wet. Another way we can prepare is to install stairways to find elevation inside the kennels. We can maybe elevate the ground where the kennels are installed since they are in a plain ground and that can be dangerous during a flooding. Laredo Animal Protection Society is located near the Rio Grande River and in case of a huge flooding it can cause immense problems. A critic we have for this organization is that they are not very secure with their fence; therefore, everything can pass through there. Even though we all appreciate the work they do to save all the dogs from the street, they need to take into consideration that water can cause their shelter to flood since they are only two miles away from the river. As a result of the flood, people and animals near the shelter will be affected because of it and they have to be prepare in order to respond and recover. One possible project we can create in

The damages were catastrophic as houses lay in ruin and debris littered the roads. There were mudslides and fallen rocks that paved the roads and made them impassible for vehicles to get through. Ultimately by the roads being clogged up the response time by rescue workers and essential personal were hampered. This also made it exceptionally difficult for supplies to be rushed to the locations for the earthquake survivors. As some were digging and excavating for survivors they were being halted by aftershocks and falling debris from above. Approximately 8000 people were killed either by their houses caving in or by the other disasters this earthquake triggered. It was a real life tragedy that

He talks about the size of the camp in a logical sense by giving exact measurements painting people a picture of how large the camp is. He refers to it by saying, “According to ‘The Hidden Gulag,’ the whole camp is 31 miles long by 25 miles wide. That works out to over 700 square miles, but if one makes allowances for the camp’s irregular shape, a rough estimate of 500 square miles seems more likely” (Stanton 2009). He validates his argument by referring to the source of his information, which ultimately brings in trust in knowing the information the reader is reading is

How do explain something that is completely in the wrong as ok? Why can people, organizations and even governments make irrational decision over and over again? The United States prides itself on it’s ability to be a free country and support freedom of religion and freedom of speech but throughout history their are numerous accounts of the United States going against it’s own beliefs and treating it’s people in terrible ways. One example of the United States going against it’s pride in equality and rhetoric of democracy and acting in ways of exclusion and inequality is during World War II when the United States forced evacuation of the Japanese to internment camps. The memoir, “Looking

The origin of this source is the boy who was being interviewed by a BBC radio journalist, during the time that the BBC was controlled by the government. This makes the source very unreliable due to the fact that the government would have wanted to to persuade people to evacuate as it was a voluntary decision. Also, I can infer the BBC would have made sure to find a good example of evacuation before they put it live on air which typifies the underlying purpose of the interview, to persuade. However, the source is useful as it is an experience which could be relevant to not only this boy, but also many more around the country. Also, it is quite a balanced source if you look into it in thorough detail.

Robert Johannsen’s book titled To the Halls of the Montezumas, with a subtitle that reads The Mexican War in the American Imagination. This is an accurate description of what the book is about, due in part to how Johannsen decided to write his book. His account of the conflict shows that for many American’s the war was more about “flair” than “substance.” It was a war that sparked the imagination of all Americans from the busy city centers of the Atlantic coast to the rural towns of the West. Johannsen puts forward that the press had a very important role to play in the Mexican American war. The book focuses on the media coverage of the conflict, rather than the military strategies and tactics. To make the book unique and to offer to the reader

The articles main purpose throughout is to inform. Because it is an article to mostly inform, it is riddled with facts throughout its entirety such as “Nearly 3,000 people died that day when Al Qaeda terrorists slammed hijacked planes

After the long and gruesome battles that Australians went through they were forced to evacuate. They evacuated due to the failure of offensives at Suvla in august 1915. The allied forces (Britain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and France) didn't have many options to choose from to evacuate and they had to prepare themselves for winter which didn't make the evacuation any easier. The australian forces began moving from Anzac cove and Suvla bay in early December 1915. On December 19, the evacuation was completed, there were 26,000 casualties in total among the Anzac troops, which included 10,000 deaths. The evacuation was very successful due to the invention of the self firing rifle which made the evacuation possible without any casualties.

The author has a broad scope for describing a certain topic and researched thoroughly on it. For example, in order to describe the Black Panther Party, the author first clearly states the original ideology of the party. Then she introduces the background information of key leaders in detail to make a relation to why they would found such a party. After that, she discusses the whole process of development for the party, from the beginning to the end. She did research so well that she even provides information such as how the leaders raised money for weapons (by selling Mao Tse-Tung’s book) and how FBI destroyed the party and so on. These kinds of anecdote-liked facts delight the whole article. First, the facts broaden the

Every emergency or disaster, from a small house fire to a hurricane that devastates entire communities, have a distinct cycle. This is
