=Farewell To Manzanar Wiki =

1. Much of Farewell to Manzanar deals with Jeanne's struggle to discover her identity. How does her Japanese identity conflict with her American identity? How does her experience with prejudice help her to reconcile the two? When entering the "real world" Jeanne came to the conclusion that she was ashamed of her Japanese heritage. She was judged and discriminated because of her descent. In high school all she wanted was to be accepted by her peers. So she entered a contest to become the carnival queen at her school. She won the votes of her peers mostly by showing off her body. When approaching her thrown Jeanne realized that after all she had done to create an image of acceptance, her peers would never see her for who she really was. After the sudden reality check began to accept herself as a young Japanese woman, while also finding balance between being an american and having japanese ancestry. spelling/capitalization. but i like your answer. a lot. it's quality. ~kenzie and jason 2. What is the role of non-Japanese, characters in Wakastuki's memoir?  Although, many non-Japanese characters took a negative toll on Jeanne's family memoir, a few non-Japanese people played an important role in her becoming of age. Jeanne's first day at school after returning to camp was less than enjoyable when one cacasian girl judged her baised on her race. She felt discouraged and began to hate the fact the she was Japanese. Fortunatly, this young girl, Radine, that ,at first, was just like the rest of them, came to realize that Jeanne was just like any other kid at school. Radine and Jeanne became best friends because Radine was the one who always stuck up for Jeanne when sombody else tried to judge her. Although their friendship eventually faded Jeanne learned to trust some non-Japanese people. spelling please. sentence structure and fluency? needs improvement. otherwise i like your answer. ~kenzie and jason 3. Upon returning from Manzanar, Jeanne finds that the hatred she must face is very different from the “dark cloud” she imagined would descend on her. What are the different forms of hatred depicted in Farewell to Manzanar, and how do they manifest themselves as propaganda or other?

When Jeanne was returning from Manzanar, she was expecting to see mean propoganda posters and to get a lot of mean looks from people. Instead, she noticed that everyone was expecting her to be stupid and not know how to speak English. Some of the hatred depicted in the book were things like rude comments like "Gee I didn't know you could speak english." Other forms of hatred was discrimination, for example, not letting Jeanne join the girl scouts and the teachers messing with the ballots when she rann for carnival queen. spelling. better vocabbut good. ~kenzie and jason
