I feel bad for how Monica Sone feels with not knowing where she belongs. She is not considered a U.S. citizen anymore nor is she a citizen from Japan such as her mother and father. Sone feels more like a criminal. She and her family have followed all the American government rules such as paying taxes and are still discriminated against because of her Japanese ancestry. –Ashley Scutari | I feel bad for how Monica Sone feels with not knowing where she belongs.

| + | I thought this part of the autobiography was both inspiring and moving and did a lot to emphasize the feeling of entering a Japanese internment camp. I liked that the family tried to make the best of it at the camp, though they had no idea what they were supposed to do. There was definitely a feeling of total bewilderment at being taken to some remote area and told to live in an "oversized chicken house." The final part, where Monica discusses her confusion, was the part that showed how confused the Japanese were. "I remembered the wire fence encircling us, and a knot of anger tightened in my breast. What was I doing behind a fence like a criminal? If there were accusations to be made, why hadn't I been given a fair trial?" She expresses how much anger and confusion these people felt as their own country put them in a prison. --Kendall Haring | ||
