Being a young boy growing up in the state of Massachusetts my early years of pre-kindergarten were very rough because I knew that all the new people I would meet and all of the new friends i would make would just be a memory many years later as my 900 mile move would take them out of my life forcing me to complete my childhood all over again. Joining a new school the next year was even tougher for me because of all the ridicule given to me about not fitting in. In school I was never in the popular

English No-No Boy To begin I really enjoyed this book‚ it was very interesting to me to read about the incredible struggle Ichiro had within himself and society. When I think of the Japanese-Americans being placed into internment camps because of Pearl Harbor I am grateful for how far our country has grown but I’m not unaware of how far we still have to go.
