George's mother was motivated by her family and she knew that if she did not get her citizenship back, it was likely she would never be able to see them agian.

She kept fighting because she knew what had happened to her was completely wrong and that she should get justice.

Family was the driving force behind her ruthless determination to stay in America.

She was given no option. She either gives up her citizenship or she faces being separated from her family.

She was motivated by what she thought was best for her family and even when things seemed impossible she continued to try to regain citizenship.

When George's mom renounced her citizenship, she felt stuck, as if she had no choice. I think fighting for it back was, in some ways, a fight for her spirit and to prove that she was truly the victim in this situation. I also think it made her feel more free and that she had more power in the situation.

I believed she kept on fighting due to her knowledge of perseverance itself. That she knew it was going to get better whether it was due to her own efforts or of another's.

She knew that her life hadn't always been this way, and she knew that it wouldn't always have to be so full of fear and hurt. She also wanted to continue for her family, and continue to make a better life for them in America. Leaving would feel like giving up.

George's mom was able to keep going because of her family. She wanted to be with her husband and take care of her children and in order for her to do that she must keep going and get her citizenship.

She was determined

George's mom cared a lot about him and his brother. I think the reason she was motivated to appeal and motivated to keep fighting was in order to promise George a happy life.

She was scared to lose her family and with the death and destruction in Japan she may have not wanted to respond.

I think what motivated her to get to that point was helping her family and her people in order to get equality. she kept fighting and perservered because she cares that much for her and her family as well as those around her

I think she was motivated by her family to appeal her renounced citizenship. It was a common theme throughout the book of parental sacrifice for their children, so Ms. Takei's perseverance in this matter would align with her motivations.

I think that she was strong, and that perseverance and support from her family is what made her confident in going to court for her citizenship. She also knew she had to stay and fight for her family, for a better life with respect from other Americans.
