It illustrated Georges mom as highly uncertain and scared as what could happen top to the family as illustrated by the bottom right two panels on page 154 with people talking about deportation. On page 157 after the camp got news of what happened to Hiroshima Georges Mom was in shambles because her parents and more of her family lives there. So to display the emotions of his mom the illustrator drew her in a very sad display of emotions crying on the bed and crying in her husband's arms. These images emphasize how the bombing of Hiroshima really affected Japanese Americans because of the family they still have in Japan. The Images used in this section are mostly about the emotions of the family and those around. Telling the story of the people who were affected by the events that occurred during these pages.

The specific color pallet has a lot of darker colors and darker shading sound Gorge. By using this darker pallet it causes a feeling of loneliness and a sense of dread. The top panel is also nostalgic because the color palette is so bright showing that it is a happy memory but it also show he is forgetting because the memory is starting to become cloudy. These contrasts of panels show his emotions about leaving because we see him reflect on happiness and then come back to reality of loneliness and unknown. By also having that contrast we can tell that he is going to miss what him and his family had together and that out in the real world it wasn't promised to be like that again.

Pages 166 and 167 contrast with each other, page 166 is filled with more vibrant and lighthearted panels conveying the "majestic" city they are now in. Page 167 displays the negatives with a much darker background depicting the ominous reality of the portions of the city they have to live in. Even with those differences they are both picture heavy showing the use of "choice of image" throughout the 2 pages, a strong example of this is 167 with the homeless man glaring at the family then puking on the ground.

The choice of image on panels on 157 focus on the greif of George's mother as she copes with the potenial loss of her parents in Japan. Seeing her collapsed on the bed with tears running down her face emphasizes her emotions. On 158 many people are confused and the images focus on their disbelief and how they are now distrustful of the US and believe they are being fed lies.

The juxtaposition between the 2 pages 166-167 , 166 shows how excited they are to see their dad again and how excited George is to be in the place he was born in but then 167 shows the harsh reality of their new home

The first panel is illustrated with lighter colors and the shading makes it look foggy like George is remenicing the happy memories he had at the camp. The contrast of the bottom 4 panels show how George feels that worried and sad about leaving the camp, this is shown by the darker shadings and in most of the panels George is seen by himself just looking over the camp that he spent the last 4 years of his life in.
