One reason I did not give this book five stars is because a lot of dispicible things happened and I realy wanted Yuki to have more emotion.Also if you are not a fan of historical fiction I would try this book because it feels like you  were realy in that time period.

I love books where I have emotions, so, as you would imagine, I really liked this book. The thing that I would change about this book is that there are not a lot of opportunities to infer, and not a good variety of signposts. Overall, I give this book four and a half stars.  ]]> 2017-03-10 17:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cin2055/8ep8f0xlrkni/wish/159331574 https://padlet.com/cin2055/8ep8f0xlrkni/wish/159331609 The type of conflict is man vs. society. It is man vs. society because, just because Yuki and her family are of Japanese heritage they get put in an internment camp even if they did nothing. ]]> 2017-03-10 17:13:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cin2055/8ep8f0xlrkni/wish/159331609 https://padlet.com/cin2055/8ep8f0xlrkni/wish/159440438 The antagonists of Journey to Topaz are the FBI and military as well as the Sakane's race. Because of their Japanese faces, they were put into basically imprisinment. The FBI and millitary were the ones who treated them harshly and took away their father. The Sakene family overcame these antagonists with flying colors and eventually lived happily ever after.]]> 2017-03-11 15:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cin2055/8ep8f0xlrkni/wish/159440438 https://padlet.com/cin2055/8ep8f0xlrkni/wish/159551775 I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
