Hello everybody!
The day after Yuki and her family arrive in Tanforan, Yuki meets a young girl named Emiko Kurihara who lives with her grandparents, and they become fast friends. All of a sudden,Mrs.Jamieson, Mimi, and Mrs.Nelson come for a surprise visit to Tanforan, and after they give Yuki’s family many goods, the family decides to host a party for all of their friends in their apartment. A few days later at the party, Ken, Yuki’s brother, announces that he has the opportunity to move out of camp to finish his college education, and since Yuki doesn’t want to see her brother leave, this one fact spoils the party for Yuki. But Yuki has other things to worry about, like the rumor that they will be moving to another internment camp in Utah soon, and once Yuki and Emi’s families find out that the rumor is true, they are all quite sober. About a month later, as trains of buses drive to the new internment camp with Yuki and her family in it, Ken decides that he will not leave for college, but Yuki can tell he is still troubled by his decision.
Tasks:
- Respond to this question in the comments: Did you think Ken should have moved away from camp to go to college and to pursue his career as a doctor? Why or why not?
- Read from page 93-122.
