 * 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?**


 * Jeanne, by race, is Japanese, but among her daily life, she is an American citizen. All of her friends at school are American, all of the activities she enjoys are also American. She participates in an American lifestyle but she comes from a Japanese cultured family. They had very few items that connected them with Japan, and all of the items they did have, they got rid of upon news of the internment.

She tried every hard not to let her Japanese race diffine who she was, she wanted to be American and not Japanese.
