Posture: The posture of the lady in this picture indicates urgency to the message she is receiving for example her hand is gripping the table giving away that the message is intense and she was scared. If she moved her hand from the table there would surly be a sweaty hand print on the table. The man in the picture has his hand on his face suggesting so much emotion of being worried from the message he is receiving and his eyebrows are arched showing intensity to how he was feeling. His legs are crossed show some agitation of the news she was receiving from the radio. He is not relaxed as someone would normally be at breakfast.

The radio they are listening to gave them the ultimate news on December 7, 1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and as one can imagine they wondered what that meant for people of Japanese descent in the United States. One source of community was the radio they are listening to perhaps a news programs that was feeding them the truth or rumours and another source of community was their friend they made up to this time in history that was surely more of a positive influence on them. The worry on the brothers face suggests the tole of this community message they are receiving from their radio on the table. These two had a good normal life with friends that was ruined by this horrible event that happened and they were not even involved in this horrific event. The two siblings eating breakfast together symbolises they were close which was exactly what Yuri Nakahara Kochiyama legacy symbolises with her community. Yuri’s memoir forwarded by her granddaughter Akemi talks about the community that symbolise the closeness of the siblings in this drawing on page 8 of the Citizen. If the community in history and the community now had a tight knit bond as these siblings represent in this drawing the world would be better off. The community should be about people who care about each other and look out for each other in good time and in bad time. Yuri, activist during that
