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.

On March 3rd‚ I went to a play called Boys Will Be Boys in UNI’s Interpreters Theatre. I initially went because a friend of mine was in it and they asked me to attend.
