Along with trying to regain freedom they did this out of love and loyalty for their new home as stated by a quote from a soldier, “My priority was to try to show the American people that we are just as loyal as anybody else.” (The War: Japanese Americans, 2007). It’s not till the next couple lines of Kenji that you really feel their pain of this action, “ That 15 kiloton blast, put an end to the war pretty fast, two cities were blown to bits” (Shinoda). The pain and suffering didn’t stop there, when the war was over the Japanese were released from the camps and were not greeted by a warm welcome back at their homes, “These people had trashed every room, smashed in the windows and bashed in the doors, written on the walls and the floor, “Japs not welcome anymore””…

As I get ready to throw off my covers, all the sudden I hear a repulsive gurgling sound, then I realize it is my own laughter, a result of the amusement I find in my own sarcasm. Even after a full night’s sleep, I feel groggy. Limbs aching…
