Pearl Harbor impacted our nation in many more ways than one could imagine. The horrendous attack that leads the U.S to take extreme measure on the confinement of all Japanese descendants in the United States. The U.S was wounded‚ but that only gave the U.S another reason to fight back. During WWI more than 120‚000 Japanese-American citizens were assembled and ultimately shipped to internment camps. They had not been transported to the camp because they had been found guilty of a crime‚ but because

Humanity. It is disconcerting to think about what we the humans have done to our own race. All because we believe in trying to find a difference such as our ethnicity‚ intellect‚ or looks to try to find how we are better than some. Hitler did this to the Jews as he wanted the world to have the Aryan race with the Holocaust‚ and America did this to the Japanese during the Japanese internment. The Holocaust and the Japanese internment are very different from one another yet they are both very similar

I (a sansei) thought I would pass along some brief thoughts on the movie "Pearl Harbor‚" which I saw Friday. Mostly‚ it was innocuous in a thoroughly Hollywood way. Which is to say‚ it truly is (as Disney hyped) a love story‚ framed around the attack‚ which is really just a plot device and an excuse for typical Bruckheimer explosions and fireballs.

Another reason why many were against the internment was because many of the Japanese had already been in America for some time now. The Issei‚ the first generation of Japanese people that immigrated from Japan‚ had immigrated many years ago. A whole another generation of Japanese children had already began growing up in America called the Nissei. They were automatically U.S. citizens for

Drama 110 10/5/2013 Mr. Zyclo After reading through the play titled “Anon(ymous)” the most interesting characters that stood out most to me were Mr. Zyclo and Serza. But of the two characters Mr Zyclo is by far more horrible‚ brutal‚ and terrifying. Mr. Zylco is a representation of Polyphemus (the Cyclops from the Odyssey) and is a fallen butcher with a pet bird who has taken to cannibalism in these financially difficult times.
