"The city blocks south of King Street had a charming trashiness by day; the litter and slug trails on the sidewalk were generally overlooked as tourists peered up at egg-and-dart architecture from another era."
C. Support
The location of the story being set in the city that looks and feels like this can be devastating especially for the young and persecuted characters.]]> 2017-02-10 14:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/153052719 #1 - Novel (P) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/153053452 Works Cited

B. Quote
"Despite the bitterness of all he'd seen, and the sadness of the forced exodus to Camp Harmony, things were manageable, and the war couldn't last forever."
C. Support
Living is not equivalent to being pushed around and treated like animals. Forcing people to leave their homes and expecting them to take accustomed to a place called "Harmony" is situational irony to the max]]> 2017-02-15 15:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154043145 #1 (P) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154044206 A.

C. Support
As an elementary school aged child, a world war must be confusing and intriguing at the same time. For the white children, it's like a recess game they get to play around with. For the persecuted youth, its a haunting reminder that they will never be accepted because of their ethnic background.]]> 2017-02-15 15:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154044206 #1 (P) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154044397 A.

"He met Mrs. Beatty on the back stop of the school, and together they drove south to Puyallup and through the barbed-wire gates of Camp Harmony - this time into the third and fourth areas, which were even bigger."
C. Support
There are people who are forcefully taken out of their homes and basically put in jail just because of their skin color and ethnic decent.]]> 2017-02-15 15:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154044397 #1 (P) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154493017 A.

B. Quote
"During the war, the Japanese community was evacuated, for their own safety, supposedly. They were given only a few days' notice and were forced inland to internment camps."

This shows how the process of the Executive Order was played out inside of the plot line.]]> 2017-02-17 00:26:37 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154493017 #1 (P) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154493689 A. P
B. Quote
"I hereby authorize and direct the Secretary of War, and the Military Commanders, to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine, from which any or all persons may be excluded, and with respect to which, the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restrictions the Secretary of War may impose in his discretion."
C. Support
This being the exact words of the President of the United States when he sent out the real executive order inside of the book also shows the harsh reality that the author brings to the table.]]> 2017-02-17 00:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154493689 #1 (P) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154494705 A.

"Around 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by Congress-no more Chinese were allowed to immigrate."

The entire legislative system went to the extent of not allowing CHINESE people to immigrate when the war was with JAPAN.

B. Quote
"The Panama Hotel, a featured land-mark in Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, still stands in Seattle’s International District and although Henry and Keiko are fictional characters, their story of separation due to cultural differences was real in 1942 and is the reality of many children in our country today."
C. Support
Realistic Fiction is such a strong genre because of the fact that it could seriously happen. Most American citizens are aware of WWI and the oppression that Chinese people faced. The setting being one of these real places makes the story that much more and enhances the plot exponentially.]]> 2017-02-17 00:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154496134 #2 (C) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154496574 A.

"Henry, whose father makes him wear a large “I am Chinese” button on his coat to school each day so that he will not be mistaken for a Japanese boy, lives in the Chinese section of Seattle, Washington, immediately beside the Japanese section of the city."
C. Support
Bringing the aspects of setting and ethnicity together, this quote really sums up how the plot is brought to life as the younger version of Henry.]]> 2017-02-17 00:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154496574 #2 (C) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154497401 A.

B. Quote
"These two outcasts form an allegiance through their required work in the school cafeteria at lunchtime and learn how to survive the teasing and bullying that is often directed their way."
C. Support
The way the other kids treated Henry and Keiko at school because of their skin color is shown through here as well. This type of oppression was frequent in the story.]]> 2017-02-17 01:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154497401 #2 (C) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154498379 A.

B. Quote
 "The theme of resilience is a thread woven throughout this beautiful story and readers will be amazed at not only how Henry and Keiko persevere as children living through the years of World War II, but also how their friendship survives the challenges of cultural alienation, forbidden love, internment, and years of separation."
C. Support
This is a well summed version of how these two had to survive through this painstaking journey provided by hate and racism.]]> 2017-02-17 01:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154498379 #2 (C) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154498907 A. C
B. Quote
"The strongly held family value of a good education brings them both to Ranier Elementary School, an all-White school where they are sent as “scholarship students” because of their academic excellence."
C. Support
Pushing for this white standard by Henry's dad for him to blend in and try to be normal also shows the distress of the situation.

"The two are the victims of both racist attitudes and the patriotic fervor following Pearl Harbor."
C. Support
Speaking of Henry and Keiko, both are victims because of the war.]]> 2017-02-17 01:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154499476 #3 (C) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154500073 Works Cited

B. Quote
"The integral setting..exerts a great deal of influence upon the values, speech, and actions of characters, the movement of plot and presentation of theme and mood; integral settings can also serve as a symbol."
C. Support
Throughout the story, there are many literary tools used to help project the authors message to the intended audience, the reader. The use of imagery being one of these tools very much assists the presentation of theme and mood.]]> 2017-02-17 01:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154500531 #4 (O) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154500847 Works Cited

B. Quote
"Recognizing the importance of setting and isolation from other literary elements does not ,in, and of itself, provide for the full understanding of the author's work."
C. Support
The setting of the story in Seattle really is the subject that sets the entire story into place. If this were to be set in almost any other location, the outcome would have been so different. This isolation of the setting is crucial.]]> 2017-02-17 01:39:39 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154501622 #5 (O) 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154502691 A.

B. Quote
"There is another dimension to settings that is quite subtle and complex. A masterful author can also imbue the location with deeper meaning – a sense of place. This sense of place is something greater than the combination of locational descriptors; it is an ambiance conjured up by nuanced writing that captures the aura, the abstract and real components of a place in a special way that allows the reader to feel, smell, and even touch the setting - a sum that is greater than the parts."
C. Support
The complex city design is seen in comparison to the other dimension that this quote is talking about. Intertwining roads and alleys in the setting of the novel in the city shows the place of deeper meaning. Using the senses of the reader in the text really applies the realistic feeling.]]> 2017-02-17 01:49:58 UTC https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154502691 #5 17weaveaj https://padlet.com/17weaveaj/w64nyl9iwjuc/wish/154503301 Works Cited
