On page 115, there are two panels that caught my attention. The bottom two panels are essentially the same picture, showing some of the Japanese Americans behind barbed wire. However, the second one has darker shading on the actual people, and the background is now the Empire of Japan flag. I find it interesting how these pictures are lined up with the two different questions that labeled these Japanese Americans as “No-Nos”.

On page 128, I’m interested in the very bottom panel. There is essentially a floor plan of the Takei’s new living quarters. There must be some significance of this, likely so the reader can really understand that the little space they have is being considered “spacious”. I’m only curious about this floor plan because we didn’t see one for the original home they had.

I chose to extend on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and discovered that they consisted of multiple different units. The 522nd Field Artillery Battalion, 232nd Combat Engineer Company, and 206th Army Ground Forces Band, just to name a few. The whole RCT consisted of about 18,000 men and was celebrated for its size and length of service. They were well known for successfully participating in the liberation of French cities from Nazi occupation.

Q:

As we learn about the Japanese American military involvement, will we read more about them going forward? Will young George know anything about what’s going on?
