 * 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?**
 * 2) **What is the role of non-Japanese characters in Wakatsuki's memoir?**
 * 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?**

 1.) In this young girls stay at the camp of Manzanar, Jeanne struggles to discover her identity. One of the things confusing her, was when she was taken from her home and placed into a place with high fences and barracks for people to stay in. "**The house we lived in was nothing more than a shack, and barracks with single plank walls and a hard wooden floors.."** She was stripped of her rights, and dehumanized. **"I heard my sister say,'Why do they hate us?'"** (page 136)

2.) The Wakatsuki's memoir consists of the fact that she will never be as good as everyone else she will always be a step back. She was taught at her stay at Manzanar that she is different and she was treated different because of her Japanese identity.  3.) When Jeanne returns from the camp, she is still treated like the enemy. She is told she is not allowed to join girl scouts because she is of Japanese decent. People look at her when she walks by, There are posters on the building that say to fight against the Japanese. She felt hated until she met a blond girl in her class who felt as if she was supposed to protect her, **"What are you looking at? She's an American citizen. Shes got just as much right as anybody to walk around on the street!" (**page 145)
