Kacie+L.+and+Erika+K.+Farewell+to+Manzanar

=**Farewell to Manzanar! **= - Jeanne's Japanese and American identities conflict with each other because Jeanne thinks of herself one way and then after the interment she thinks of herself differently. Being put in the camp makes her realize that her to identities conflict with one another because she was thrown in to the camp because of her Japanese heritage but yet she grew up in America. She wants to to be an American because she does not know her Japanese heritage but yet because of that heritage she can not become an American. - The role of the non-Japanese people is when they throw her family in to the internment camp and they deny them citizenship. When her and her family get out of Manzanar people make fun of them because of their heritage and looks. As she grows up her high school class mates push her even farther because the only way she gets anywhere is because of her looks. She gets mean and nasty comments from strangers she doesn't even know.
 * 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?**
 * 1) **What is the role of n****on-Japanese characters in Wakatsuki's memoir?**
 * 1) **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?**

=
- The hatred Jeanne faced was very different than what she was expecting. She said "In our isolated world we had over prepared for shows of abuse" (p. 152). Jeanne and her family were not met with hatred but indifference. They were just ignored and no one acknowledged them. She said that being ignored was actually worse than people openly showing their discrimination. She didn't like the fact that people judged her for what she looked like. ======

 * Evaluation:**

1. What aspects of this wikispace do you find most enlightening? Why? i like how you put the two different flags because it really shows how she is and how shes not really different to us or anybody else. M.Y. We thought the picture of the "Japs keep moving" was enlightening because it really shows how hated the Japanese were.PierceMike 2. How have the authors of this wikispace addressed Jeanne's identity struggle in a different manner than you did? Specify! well they put it in a different matter than we did because they explained her identity differently and her actions. M.Y. In their wikispace we talked more about her Japanese life rather then on here they talkedmore about her Ammerican life and identity. PierceMike 3. How have the authors of this wikispace examined Manzanar in a new way? Quote and detail. They had stuck a quote from the book to kinda explain the question a little more from the book. M.Y. They looked at Manzanar as denying Jeanne and her family their citizenship. The role of the non-Japanese people is when they throw her family in to the internment camp and they deny them citizenship .PierceMike
