=Farewell to Manzanar =

Americans were making it hard to be Japanese because they were at war with Japan. They thought that the Japanese were going to be loyal to their old country so they sent them to interment camps to make sure that they wouldn't turn against them. Because of the prejudice against Japanese it made it hard on Jeanne's family. She was embarrassed of her heritage because she thought it was her fault that she was the way she was. It made it hard for her to be American because everyone just saw her as some Japanese girl. She wouldn't show that she cared how everyone felt towards her race but deep down when she looked back at the experience she realized how much it really had hurt her. She wasn't able to truly reconcile with it until she was older and came back to visit Manzanar. All of them don't seem to understand how hard it is for her and what she was going through at the time. They were either really mean to her and would treat her like an outcast or they would be nice to her but would never be able to actually be friends with her. Jeanne went through a lot of hard things that many kids her age probably wouldn't be able to handle. She wanted to fit in so much but because of how people made Japanese out to be, it was impossible for her to ever fit it. Some hate that was towards the Japanese families was more violent. They would fight them and beat them to a point where all they could would be to fight back. Other forms hatred was how easily they could just write them off and take them away from their homes. They truly hated them so much that they were okay with taking away their freedom and making them seem more like animals than actual people. Because of the hatred they would want other people to hate Japanese too. They had posters that would say mean things about them going back to their country and banning them from different places. Jeanne was in an interment camp for lots of the years but she still experienced the hatred. When she got out of the camp there wasn't still a lot of propaganda but instead many people would just pretend like they didn't exist and they wouldn't allow their kids to be associated with them. Jeanne wanted their acceptance so bad but instead she blamed the reason she was the way she was on herself.
