    She faced discrimination, when she was a child. Others called her as “Other” or “Unalterably alien.” She draws a clear distinction between Japanese-Americans and other Americans. She emphasizes that a third generation German-American is an American, on the other hand, a third generation Japanese-American is still seen as Japanese-American, because most of the people only remember that being Japanese means being a danger to the country. I think that this is a clear example of the ignorance of people.…

    The poem “Urban Indian: Portrait 3” written by Richard Wagamese, shows how an experience in nature can help create a connection not only with nature but also with humans. The speaker remembers an old experience of his when he was paddling “..and he can still feel the muscle/ of the channel on his arm/ the smell of it/ potent, rich, eternal/ the smell of dreams and visions..” This feeling and connection has been kept within him and has helped him become who he is now as an adult: “..and heads down the stairs/ out into the street/ to find the kids/ he teaches to carve paddles now.” He may be far from that place where he once was, but he shares this memory to carve the paddles of a canoe: “..in the moonlight/ what he brings to them.” This reveals…

Stephen sees Sachi’s garden and realizes that it’s different from Matsu’s because it is just rocks and stones but he finds beauty in the rocks and stones. Her garden shows what she’s been through; her leprosy connected to the sadness that it makes and the beauty connects to how Stephen sees Sachi now even though she has leprosy.…

    Hideki Tojo Hideki Tojo was given the position of Prime Minister of Japan on October 14th, 1941, which really became the entrance of Japan and America into World War II because of Hideki’s war background that would lead him to make a decision that forever will be in the history books. Hideki was under the impression that a war with America was impossible to be avoided, so he prepared Japan to hit America with a HUGE knock-out punch. This was a very strategic move on Hideki’s part that would eliminate America from the Pacific. His purpose behind this was that the Japanese simply despised the differences that the Americans had from them. Plus Hideki admired Hitler greatly and wanted to be the Hitler of Japan.…

    Japanese culture, customs, and traditions are deeply rooted in ancient beliefs and practices. Japanese tradition is largely based on the ancient ideals of shame, duty, and honor. The Japanese individual had a duty to society and family, and by fulfilling this duty, one could maintain their honor.

An individual in shame must do as society dictates to regain their honor, and often society demanded high prices for shame. The ancient practice of hara-kiri, or suicide by cutting one’s own belly, was considered a way to regain honor. In the ancient world of the shogunate and samurai,…
