==== 1. Throughout Farewell to Manzanar Jeanne struggles to discover her identity. Her Japanese identity conflicts with her American identity because she knows that people will make fun of her and judge her and she knows that she will never be accepted for who she is. Jeanne feels as though she has to be loyal to Japan but she is also ashamed to have a Japanese background. All she ever wanted when she was a teenager, just like every other teenager, was to be well liked and accepted. An example of Jeanne wanting to be a a normal teenager is her interest in girl scouts. When she asked her new friend, Radine, she was let down because she was Japanese. ====

==== 2.The non-Japanese characters in Farewell to Manzanar play a significant role in this book. Throughout the whole novel the Japanese are intimidated by the non-Japanese characters because of how poorly they have treated them, discriminated against them and influenced them for the rest of their lives. ====

==== 3. "...signs saying JAPS GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM. The stories, the murmurs, the headlines of the last few months had imprinted in my mind the word HATE." "I saw it as a dark, amorphous cloud that would descend from above and enclose us forever." Not only were the signs forms of hatred but, people expressed hatred as well such as when Jeanne wanted to fit in and be in Girl Scouts. She asked her friend Radine only to be let down and told she couldn't join. ====
