Your job is to draw a scene from this section.  Write a paragraph telling what is happening in the scene, and why you chose to draw it.

I drew a picture of Mrs. Wantanabe’s baby asleep in the dresser drawer.  I chose to draw this scene because it shows how bad the conditions were at Mirror Lake Camp.  It is so sad that a newborn baby had to sleep in a drawer because there was no other place for him to sleep.  The Japanese-American people were treated wrongly during this time in our history, and I am very ashamed of the way we treated them.  America was supposed to be the refuge for all people.  We pride ourselves on our diversity, yet when we were backed into a corner, we turned on each other.  As I thought about the baby that slept in the dresser drawer, I couldn’t help but think that we were doing to our own people almost like the Germans were doing to their people.  We were fighting against inhumane treatment, yet we were treating other human beings just as inhumane.  This scene in the book brought this into focus for me.  As I read on, I know that other injustices will be uncovered as well.  What a sad and disturbing part of our history.
