Welcome back to book club!
In the section you had just read, Pearl Harbor was bombed, and Yuki’s father was forced to move away from his home in Berkeley, California to an Army Internment Camp in Montana. The FBI patrol the house and make sure no one gets access into the house or comes out. Mrs. Jamieson, Yuki’s friend, gives Yuki a pearl ring to remember her by, and on February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt orders that all of the Japanese living on the West Coast be moved to different locations across the country. Yuki and her family are unwilling to move, but unfortunately, they have no choice.
Tasks:
- Respond to this question in the comments: Yuki’s family is forced to move away from their home in Berkeley, California. How would you feel if you were forced to move out of your home?
- Read from page 31-58.
