Looking at the title of this book I wouldn’t have thought the book was about a traumatic situation. I don’t know if the government was merrily right to put people through such harsh conditions. Did this process help them in anyway? Were any of the people put in the camps actually found guilty. I can find a lot of reasons why this process was wrong. To have innocent people loose their homes, and their job. To have a life one day and then have it all taken away the next. To be isolated from society . That was just cruel. People come to America to live their dream life or close to it the become citizens so why do they get treated different . Where is the equally and freedom they are promised . Where was there justice. Did they even receive an apology .Were they ever treated the same again or were they always looked at from now on as enemies. What about the children I can’t imagine what was going through their minds. They got everything taken from them with no explanation of why they were being punished. What about their education that was taken from them.
To me the mother had to taken in a lot. She built up a lot of strength to hold their family together . To have a partner one minute and then be al alone the next . Then on top of that having to pretend to despise where she came from. I believed that the family was very Americanized .They were no different from an American family just their outer appearance. The government shouldn’t have all that power their should be guidelines. All those innocent people shouldn’t have gone through all that , it just isn’t fair.
