Answers

1. If I were sent to an internment camp I feel I would never become accustomed to it as Jeanne did. I think this partly has to do with the time period in which I live now and my age now in contrast to her being so young. Also, I have always had the necessities of life and more, therefore it would be very hard for me to become comfortable to the Spartan way. Throughout my stay in the camp I would probably feel sorry for myself the entire time, making my stay even worse. I don’t think Jeanne ever really felt sorry for herself as I would. Jeanne also became involved in many activities. I think I would have a hard time getting started in the activities, probably having to be forced by my parents, but I would come to love them and enjoy doing them everyday.

2. I do think it was wise for Jeanne to once again visit Manzanar. I think this because Manzanar claimed much of her childhood, and through her visit it brought back painful but good memories to her. She also comes to understand her memories better as she strolls through the barren streets of what was once her life. I think her visit was a way in reclaiming what her and her family lost, and gained, in their time spent there.

I have mixed feelings of whether her children should have come along. I feel though that it was an overall wise decision to bring her...
