The book, Farewell to Manzanar was the story of a young Japanese girl coming of age in the interment camp located in Owens Valley, California. Less than two months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt signed an Executive Order, which stated that the War Department had the right to declare which people were a threat to the country, and move them wherever they so pleased. Since the West Coast had a large number of Japanese immigrants at the time, the Executive Order was basically
pretty upset about it because we had to leave the only home I had known in America and the government made all of the people of Japanese decent go to interment camps. We were being kicked out of our house because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, I understand that the government is scared but we live here America is our home sending all of us to camps is absurd but people do crazy things when they are concerned for their safety. I tried to keep things that I felt were important but when I had to the

Veteran Interview My grandfather, Larry, served in WWII. He enlisted and stationed at Camp Polk. He went through places like New Guinea and the Philippines during the war. When I asked him if he experienced any combat he said; “yes, I experienced some combat. But most of the time I spent in combat was in a tank. Not too much action there.” A typical day in my grandfathers’ life at the time was to wake up at the crack of dawn and get ready for a full day of combat, well at least for the ground
Hunting Camp Finally, the time was here. It was fall break, and I had nothing to do but sit around and enjoy life. This area was covered with dirt, and no matter how hard I tried, I would get filthy. I couldn't wait to get home to take a nice shower. Even though it was so dungy, it was a nice place to sit around and clear my mind. In the middle of September, my mother and I would go to the store to buy tons of food for hunting camp. At last, after being at the store for hours, we would be

from camp. I'm twelve and so are you. Prior to leaving for camp, I had imagined it would be just me and three, maybe four, other boys that I hadn't met yet, running around all summer, getting ourselves into trouble. Playing games and just enjoying our summer. You know, typical boy stuff. Ultimately it ended up being me and this one girl. That's you. As long as we are still on the bus its like we are still at camp. Once we reach the pickup point where our parents would be waiting for us camp will
riddled with the porcupines needles. The porcupines retreated into the trees when Alex found a fallen branch and started swinging. They took everything that the natives had in their camp, even pulled the clothes from the two dead men and dressed, same as they had just went through. They must have been heading to the camp because they had bags of furs and beads. Alex looked on the ground behind them and observe the cold bodies. “We will sleep here for a while.” “In their tents?” Jose asked. “Yes…and
get right back up and try again. There was one time in particular where I was absolutely terrified from one of my failures – and it had a major effect on me. This specific failure involved me driving home from camp with a friend one day. My friend, Chelsea, and I were planning on going to camp together one day to visit our friends who were coming up from Lower Michigan. We were arranging this trip for months, and we finally got all of our stuff packed a couple days before we were supposed to arrive
like an aunt because she always took care of the kids and supported them. Her dad worked as a government spy so he has to fight a lot. Now Hannah has to learn to fight so she can defend herself. The camp is for children of the spies and a long way from home. Spies have to leave their kids at the camp for summer and never visit, so the kids don’t become emotional. Hannah has been going there for four summers. Hannah’s brothers
Camp is and always will be my obsession. My room is dedicated to Pinecliffe. The walls are painted blue, for one of the two colors that represent my camp (along with brown). Blue elephant and brown teddy bear stuffed animals line the walls. Pictures of my camp friends and I are scattered sporadically around the room. In the corner, there is a box bleeding with blue everything. Beads, facepaint, hair dye, and ribbon overflow this box, representing color war and the amazing time I had. Color war was
Cult film, described by some as a film type with an overly obsessive and sometimes ritualistic fan base, characterised not only by its small but dedicated following, but also by the way it deals with current or past affairs with either a blatant disregard for subtlety or political correctness. Others may describe ‘cult film’ as a film type that involves ‘over the top’ acting, disgusting scenes of blood and gore, highly unlikeable characters and ‘clichéd’ often, unbelievable scenarios. However, it
The Siberian Work Camp and One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich In Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn describes in three volumes the Russian prison system known as the gulag. That work, like Kafka's The Trial, presents a culture and society where there is no justice - in or out of court. Instead, there is a nameless, faceless, mysterious bureaucracy that imposes its will upon the people, coercing them to submit to the will of the state or face prison or death. In One Day In The Life
comfortable with being in the river. Ever since that day, wakeboarding is one of my favorite ways to utilize my free time. I usually spend most of my days off in the summer, out with my buddies on the boat wakeboarding. I got involved in many wakeboarding camps during the summertime when I was a kid. The goal was to improve my skills and succeed, so I decided that I would take some lessons. The lessons were given out on a private ski lake in Toldeo, WA, near Olympia. I loved taking lessons out there because
My Summer as A Counselor In Traing at Camp Morasha Over the past few years, I have overcome many challenges. But the one that stands out in my mind the most occurred this past summer while I was working as a Counselor-in-Training at Camp Morasha. I, along with 40 other people my age, was assigned to bunks of kids ranging from ages eight to fifteen. I can still remember looking up at the list and seeing that I had been assigned to a bunk of nine and ten year olds. I felt violated because I felt
Ever experienced cheer camp a famous college? Surround by its famous color orange and blue? Well, I did! A tremendous amount of people have their different ideas an exciting experience in their life. Although out of all of the exciting experiences I’ve ever experienced , I would have to say my favorite is when I visited The University of Florida for cheer camp my sophomore year. I was overly excited about spending four days at The University of Florida; I stayed up all night the night before packing
Rough Draft Andrew lived a normal life, he played xbox with his friends every night, on weekends he went to the skate park with a different set of friends. He thought they were pretty good kids and that they wouldn’t do anything to put him in any harm, he trusted them. Then one day his friends came to pick him up and he had a bad feeling about it but he got in the car anyways, while they were driving they kept swerving to the side but every time he asked to drive instead of one of his friends but
that year would turn for the worse. Paranoia was widespread after the bombing, because of this fear the government decided “it would be best” to place every Japanese American in Camps to ensure the safety of the country, disregarding our rights. So many things had been stripped away, our money, our house, just being in that camp slowly destroyed the bond I had with my family. It had only been a few weeks and I already felt a divided forming between all of us. What was once a crazy, chaotic, yet comfy
The Death of a Soldier Out of the corner of my eye I saw a large camp. Men and women suffering at the hands of these Nazi criminals. We closed in on the camp rifles raised, sweat pouring down our head. We got to the last woodline before the camp when we stopped. “Abraham you circle around the back,” I whispered “ Zelda you go around to the right.” “Who put you in charge,” said Zelda angeraly “I was put in charge when this became personal,” I said grabbing Zelda and hitting him off a near by three
Grade 11 camp was an unforgettable experience which definitely tested my strength, both mentally and physically. In one of the many challenging activities, the cohort was split into different groups and each group was made to push an army truck down a road. We were given a break every 20 minutes, and I found it very satisfying to, even when on a ‘break’, encourage my peers and lead them through such a physically and mentally exhausting challenge. Other challenges involved us crawling through small
