thought were harsh to you at the moment ? When in reality you do not exactly know what harsh is unless you were a Japanese during WWII. Take a look, more of a consideration the way the U.S. made the japanese ethnicity/ancestry feel. For a while we have been reading many articles about what happened in the internments and how japanese felt and many of them have themes that they share. The texts Farewell to Manzanar, “Why Children Did Not Knock At My Door Halloween This Year”, and “ Remembering The No-No Boys” reveal the following recurring themes on discrimination, separation of families , and prejudice. Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and the poem “Why Children Did Not Knock At MY Door Halloween This Year” by Ifti Nasim share the theme of discrimination. Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston, chapter 21 pg. 161 it says “It was her mother who had drawn the line, and I was used to that.” Jeanne tried to get into the girls scout but the mom said no because she was japanese but in reality she was also an American too. Jeanne had as much rights as the other girls did to enter the girls scout because she too was an American citizen. This can also relate be related to how Muslims were discriminated after 9/11. In the poem “ Why Did Children Did Not Knock At My Door Halloween This Year” in stanzas 12 through 19 it says, “ I am still a foreigner with a crude face and features of a terrorist. My color two shades darker than an…

Hurricane Katrina not only left the entire city underwater, it left thousands of people homeless, displaced, or dead. As I sat alone in my room watching the documentary, America’s Deadliest Storm, I could not help but think of how Katrina affected me. At the time, I was just eight years old and beginning the fourth grade. Looking back, I had no idea that this storm would be a life changing event.

With the coldness filling the air as I was born into the world on December 9th, 1998, in the city of Houston in Texas. Known for being the Bayou city, Houston is where I have spent the entirety of my life. As large as this town is I was raised and have only seen only one side of Houston, and although my vision of it was only limited I learned many things with the limited resources I had in my disposal.

The main reason is that I have family members residing here. My uncle moved to Houston about 15 years ago after completing his degree…
