Farewell to manzanar

A detailed Summary of Farewell to manzanar

I decided to read, Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James

D. Houston. This book is about the Japanese internment camps that were set up in

America during World War II, and how it affected this particular family. It tells

the story of the separation of the family members, hardships, and hatred that

they had to live with during this time period. It also helps to open our eyes to the

irony of the whole situation, and how our government can contradict themselves

over some of the issues we were fighting for.

The book tells the story from Jeanne Wakatsuki, the main character, point

of view, and how she and her family struggled to make it through this time period

in American History. The book is told from Jeanne's own experiences in her own

town, how her peers at school treated her, and what it was like being uprooted

from their home and being put into the Japanese internment camp of Manzanar.

The book with the news of Pearl Harbor, and the reactions from the

Wakatsuki family. It also begins with her father being taken away for supposedly

supplying oil to Japanese submarines of the coast while he was fishing. It also goes

into some detail on how their neighbors, and people throughout their town tre

problems that faced them. This was a great book, and a very informational,

are being so mean to her and her family. the book also goes into some detail on how

put boxes over their heads in the restroom, so they didn't have to look at anyone,

describing how hard it was for her to return back into society, and how the people

society out of fear and hate, from what had happened to Pearl Harbor. In this

These camps really illustrated the type of atmosphere there was in America

good details on their cramped living situations, and how that there was no privacy,
