Why is this outing so significant to the family, and how does it contrast from the family’s typical day in the internment camp? by Alessa Goyzueta https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn Make Sure to Add your Name To Your Response ! en-us 2023-04-17 14:54:57 UTC 2025-10-28 13:06:30 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558918005 The outing means a lot to the family because they are constantly within the fences and feeling contained.

It was an experience that was so freeing to them and it became a happy and warm memory that George will cherish forever.]]> 2023-04-18 16:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558918778 18336311 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558918942 It's like a breath of fresh air for the parents and a fun adventure for the kids. After just being in the internment camps, with poor living conditions and not much to see or do for the children. Also lets them feel more normal/like before again, outside of the fence.]]> 2023-04-18 16:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558918942 18174922 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919116 As George’s family went out, they were excited and happy. They finally got to go out, and I think this really cheers everyone up a bit from reality. Helps them gain some entertainment as compared to their everyday life of feeling trapped. ]]> 2023-04-18 16:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919116 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919131 I think the best contrast between the two events is that the internment camp is a finite cramped space where Internees see walls barring them, compared to the outing where they felt free]]> 2023-04-18 16:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919131 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919149 they feel like they are more free, and they can finally experience what its like to not be contained and to express their feelings. ]]> 2023-04-18 16:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919149 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558919353 The outing is very special for the family because they have been so used to being trapped.

What would’ve been an everyday occurrence was heightened in comparison. 
Metaphorically, when darkness is very deep, even a bit of light seems as bright as the sun.

They ended up visiting a farm on their outing, and they talked to the farmer, someone who was not Japanese. The family was used to being stuck with other Japanese Americans, but they had an opportunity to see a small taste of the rest of the world on this outing.]]> 2023-04-18 16:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558920554 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558920774 A family's typical day in the internment camp was to "stay within the fences". The outing was so significant because it broke that rule of "staying inside the fences".

It helped George to realize how lucky was to have parents like his and how much he appreciated them. In the page where Henry falls asleep on George's shoulder, George understands he's meant to stay still so Henry can sleep soundly, this may have given him a realization on how much Henry not only depends on his parents but also on George.]]> 2023-04-18 16:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558921393 1752260 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558922242 This outing is significant to the family in different ways. For George's parents, they've been having to deal with the constantly knowing about what's really going on and worrying about what's going to happen to them, and this allowed them to give them a chance to breath and escape that reality. For the boys, this allows them to experience something they haven't before, and by seeing this as an adventure allows for them to gain some extra joy and fun, compared to their everyday time in the camp.]]> 2023-04-18 16:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558922242 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558922530 it felt like a course of freedom to them.

The parents were able to look after their kids closely and not worry as much as they regularly would. The boys loved having a special outing, and it must have felt like a relief to the parents to be able to witness their children deeply enjoying the day. ]]> 2023-04-18 16:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558922764 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558923470 The outing is so significant because the family basically sees the same thing over and over again in the internment camp, they feel good about seeing something new. It is also important because it somewhat makes them forget the fact that they live in a camp and it turns their sadness into happiness. ]]> 2023-04-18 16:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558923470 https://padlet.com/15827231/gxit50bg30950vqn/wish/2558923502 They are always inside the camp and they never really get to leave the fences, so when they find out that they can leave the camp and go out, they are gonna be exited.
