Review Farewell to Manzanar 1. The dust storms, the communal mess halls, and the open latrines are culturally insensitive examples of Japanese Americans at Manzanar. First, the living environment in the internment camps is harsh. Dust and sand cover the entire bare floor. They envelop the people’s entire mattress, clothes, furniture, and so on. The dust is so bad that Jeanne’s mother has to exclaim: “We can’t live like this. Animals live like this” (26). Next, with the birth of the communal mess

had become a world power. After the annexation of Hawaii to the US, there was a strong naval base for protection and they got valuable sugar cane. The Panama Canal helped trade to become easier. The Spanish American War gave the Americans more territories like Guam and Puerto Rico. The annexation of Hawaii led to the United States becoming a world power. Hawaii had a lot more sugar cane than the Americans. The American planters did not want Hawaii to get all the profits, so the Americans created

In the Labor chapter, it showed picture of workers around Hawaii. These pictures show memories about Filipinos’ starting point of history in Hawaii. Each picture expresses a way of how hard working Filipinos’ are and never give up trying to survive. The first image that I chose was on page 48 of a family preparing for a seaman’s deployment. This photo reminds me of my family who was preparing for my cousin’s husband for military. When he left for base, it was a sad day for my cousin since she missed

Manifest Destiny made its claims on the islands of Hawaii, as we read about in the chapter, “Overseas Expansion”. While we learn about some of the history of their government and economy, the article “The 1897 Petition Against the Annexation of Hawaii” found at the end of the chapter gives a deeper focus of the history of the government. The author (name unknown) starts the article in 1778 when Captain James Cook arrives in Hawaii, as European influence began to alter their government system. From

December 7, 1941, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States of America into WW2. Japan launched an invasion on the commonwealth of the Philippines during the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese overwhelmed the province of Luzon with artillery and aerial bombing, this forced General King to retreat with his 72,000 troops of American and Filipino Soldiers into the mountains of the province of Bataan. After a month of guerrilla warfare, due to lack of supplies and ammunition

their spies and embassies both in Hawaii and in Washington. The decoded message talked about a Tokyo-to-Honolulu dispatch that requested the Japanese spies to divide the island of Hawaii into 5 sections and locate all important navy vessel and air craft carriers. Multiple “Magic” decoding machines were sent out to important political and military figures in America and Britain, such as Roosevelt, the Secretary of State, War, and Navy, but none were sent to Hawaii. The Naval and Army commanders on

At 7:55 AM on Sunday, December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese warplanes, launched from aircraft carriers far out at sea, attacked the American Pacific fleet anchored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack took a terrible toll: eight battleships, including the USS Arizona, three light cruisers, three destroyers and four other naval vessels were either sunk or damaged. One hundred and sixty-four American aircraft were also destroyed. Most hadn’t even gotten off the ground. And 2,403 Americans, servicemen

Japanese internment plays a big role in Canada’s history. Canada’s reputation for being nice and polite is questioned by the internment of Japanese and Japanese-Canadians during World War Two. With a review of the past, it is absolute that the internment of the Japanese people in Canada was not justified. Internment caused more problems than it solved as it ruined relations between Japanese people in Canada and other Canadians, it ruined the futures of all Japanese descendants in Canada and innocent

American Indians and Alaska Natives received limited attention as hate crime victims. That is because people believed that what they were doing was right. The relocation just hurt the Indians. They were forced to learn how to survive in new terrains and the illness that the Europeans brought over caused the deaths of so many American Indians. We do not admit that we caused those deaths or caused them to lose part of their culture. I believe because of this no one in my family really knows a

The Japanese community had two different experiences after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In Hawaii Japanese American showed that they were just as American as whites, ROTC students when to sensitive areas that could cripple Hawaii and stand guard. Also, few Japanese were not taken to the camps due to General Delos Emmons defied the order. Moreover, Emmons knew that if the Japanese were to be removed that Hawaii’s economy would suffer because they were the majority of the labor force. The Japanese that
