Summarize "Farewell to Manzanar."
|
This was a time of struggle and turmoil. It was also a time of competition, if a house was empty, whoever moves in first would be the ones to get the empty place. Jeanne and her family members were the first to get Block 28. In order to survive, people had to work three times as hard than they do today. Jeanne and her family later grew an "apple orchard" or Manzanar. People had gardens, many of them who were professionals such as their next door neighbors. Time had passed and as Jeanne later returns to her home where she had lived as a child, the Manzanar tree reminded of the struggle that she had gone through growing up in the times of parallel turmoil.
