The techniques used is to show everyone with a long face rather than happy or sad. Showing the uncertainty of their future because of the long faces. A lot of people had a split of what they had answered on the question are. Thus solidifying their stance on how this situation turned out. The page also showed on the top right panel that George and His brother were waiting and George said that their parents were no-nos which meant they could be relocated.

The line between the parents and kids on the bottom of page 127 represents how they are connected because they're still family but the gap shows how their perspectives are altered by their age and life experience. The children are more innocent and the adults know more of what's happening and that makes a difference in the ways they perservere.

Through out page 127 there is not a single smile or happy looking facial expression on the family's faces. The kids faces show more fear and confusion but the adults show more of a solemn stern face. The color pallet again is very dark which represents the mood the author wanted us to feel while reading these pages. The mood shows us a sense of unknowing and what is going to happen next. By using no words we have to go off of the charterer body language to understand what is happening and see the emotions through facial expressions which are very tense.

The darker colors show that these memories are different than the happier, lighter parts of George's story. The images show the no-nos being rounded up and treated as inhuman just because they had not relinquished their allegiance to Japan. All the people pictured look sad and scared, showing their fear for the situation at hand.

The bottom of page 127 lines up the "no no's" portraying them as criminals. The dark and eerie background on the whole page emphasizes the uncertainty and fear of being imprisoned. It depicts the Japanese-Americans as evil, even though they think of themselves as American.

On page 127, the facial expressions of the people in the internment camps look confused and melancholy/weary, which demonstrates their uncertainty about the situation, while text like "All imprisoned-driven to outrage by a government's hysteria" and "George, why did we move here?".

The different point of views provided the reader with more context for what is happening during the camp. Along with the protests being a big highlight shows this is how the people responded to the government moving them to a different and much harsher camp in security and crack downs. On page 135 bottom panels it shows someone being taken away and their family crying out that he didn't do anything and he isn't apart of the radical leaders. It also shows the disconnect between the non-radicals and radicals on page 136 bottom right panel it shows both of those groups arguing and then after it shows them fighting against each other.

By considering different viewpoints, it is a good way of finding new ways to persevere by understanding other emotions and gain a sense of empathy for others and what they are going through. A young person can benefit from seeing perseverance coming from adults by idolizing good behaviors and gain new life skills by visually watching adults around them.

The adults surrounding George are all, as seen on page 127, stoic and serious. Because of the way the adults acted, the children around them might have felt more at peace and less out of control. Why would the kids be afraid if their parents weren't? The parents obviously had very serious problems to think about from their points of view, but the children had no reason to worry because, in their point of view, their parents had no reason to be scared.

Their different viewpoints are obviously not going to be the same but the kids are always observing the ways their parents react to news and deal with orders, laws, policys, etc. Their parents views are transfered and adapted as well as added on to by the kids and formed into their own opinions and ideas. And they can copy and mimic what they see because their parents are a trusted adult to them and they look up to them.

It shows George arguing with his dad and how he saw what should've been done but since he was just a kid during that time they were in the camps he didn't have all the context. The yelling of George compaired to the stone cold face of his father shows their different views of the situation. This give the understanding that one had more an outraged view while the other was able to understand what was happening during that time. The colors on Georges panel is very bright this can show that he is outspoken and is on fire about it thus the light. And Georges dad was dark and he had a straight face this can show that he was able to not feel so outraged or outspoken about it.

Page 137 shows the conflict between the American soldiers and the Japanese American detainees as the children, George and his brother witness it. This later on affects George when he argues with his dad about why they didn't protest, after witnessing the protests he reflects later in life with his dad and this leads him to questioning why his dad didn't protest against the incarceration.

On page 133, George watches his father work hard as a block manager to help those in the camps, which benefits George because it provides a good example of determination despite the their difficult situation. The adults in his life have a different perspective of the situation than he does. Additionally, he watches protesters in the camp as well, which displays another perspective/form of perseverance. These choices show the reader that perseverance comes in many forms and that you can learn life skills not only from parents, but other adults.

These two panels demonstrate how two people can react differently from the same situation. George is insisting that he would have protested against the guards and that his father made a mistake by going along with orders. George believes that he knows what is right but he was never in the same position that his father was at that time and he will never fully know how he would have reacted. Similar to how his father reacted at the time, he is calm now while George is reacting with his emotions.

By considering the choice of image on the bottom of page 141 this helps us understand the different perspectives between George and his dad by the word choice. We see his father go into greater detail about his experiences in the camps compared to Georges memories that her remembers from when he was younger. We can see from the facial expressions that George looks almost ignorantly passionate about the situation compared to his father who is deeply recalling the memory. The author uses more shadows around the father and more shine on George.

The contrast between the 2 in the bottom panels of page 141 shows how heated and serious George (older now but still young in understanding) is about the topic and how they should have protested. Contrary to his father who is very Solemn yet collected about the topic showing how much the family went through during that time but also how much George missed during that time, being a little kid.

16451281 — 2025-04-03 17:06:38 UTC

On page 141, George's facial expression shows that he is very angry, and passionate about their time in the camps and believes that he would have handled it differently than his father. However, George's father looks extremely composed, conveying the fact that he is wiser and has more life experience than George does at this moment. This helps enhance the difference between their perspectives.

George's panel is filled with fog and swirls of darker color, showing his turbulent emotions and lack of understanding of the situation. However, his father's panels are calmer.

On this page this shows how the mom looks with uncertainty as if they don't know what to do when the camps close. The top panel shows that high court rules that the camps are not constitutional and they can be shut down within a year of being open. The mom looks with uncertainty because she has raised their kids to a certain degree in the camps rather then in their home.

The order of the panels shows us the way Georges mother is processing the situation and is foreshadowing the future choice she makes. The choice of frame show her deep thoughts on the matter and through facial expressions we can tell that she is think about and contemplating her choice.

Sydney, Natalie, Mia, Kate

The choice of frame allows the reader to comprehend the emotions of the mother, as she is trying to hide her children from the protest. She is attempting to keep their innocence. George's mother focused on the family aspect and it was very important for her to keep the family together.
