Rating: Summary: surviving through tough times Review: This is a woderful book. It shows the true meaning of how parents should get along. It also shows bravery in this book. Jeanna is a person who takes things into her own hand and make sure that nothing bad happens to her family. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about history.
Rating: Summary: jrw7.2 Manzanar review Review: I liked the book alot, it laked some of the action that I really like but other than that it was good. Really, it was a dramatic story. I had never known much about this event and was interesated to learn more. I now know, after looking through someone elses eyes how this had affected not only the Americans during WWII but how ot affected the Japanese-Americans also. This book would really grab some of you "intelligent need to know woth a twist" types. It grabbed me and was a good change from the comics, sci-fi, and historical fiction I'm so used to. This is really a good book and " my compliments to the chef!"
Rating: Summary: I think... Review: Farewell to Manzanar was a good book. Itshows the authors point of view the way she remembers it .Although I thought the book was somewhat sad ,it was still a good book . When her father was arested at their house and they had to move,even though she did'nt under stand it at the time ,she probably was still sad .Having to Break the China was probably devestating to her mom , especialy since it wasvery expensive and special .

Rating: Summary: Farewell to Manzanar Review: My opinion of the book is that it was sad. I think it was sad because Jeanne's family was torn apart. Whe tey went to the Manzanar they just started falling apart. That's why the book is sad. When they first started falling apart was when the FBI took Jeanne's dad. When they did that they really started to fall apart. Then the FBI told them they had fourty-eight hours to move out of their house. Which was really sad for them. They also had a small room in the barracks, and they have to eat seperated from each other in the Mess Hall.7.2 KAF
Rating: Summary: farewell to manzanar Review: Farewell to manzanar was an ok book. It was wrong to put them in Manzanar without any proof that they were helping the Japanese. I think they should have been able to stay together in families instead of being seperated. They also shouldnt have been treated with a little more respect and shouldnt have had to stay in those little two rooms with all those holes in it and they should have built them a little better than they were. They were treated badly by cacasions and themselves while they were in the camps. The mobs were hurting alot of people and some even went to jail for hurting a cook really bad. The dad should have been triled in a court and been proven guilty before they took him off for refueling enemy Japaneese enemy submarines. The United States should not have locked all the Japanese away in camps. It makes me think twice about saying this is a free country. 7.2ZH
Rating: Summary: fas 7.2 Review: I liked this book because Jeanne dealed with the discrimination against her race. .. I don't think that that should have taked place. I disliked this book because I kind of scared me because I thought how I would feel if I were treated like that and had that type of freedom. I would not like that at all because I like my freedom to speak the words I would like, dress the way I like and many other things.
Rating: Summary: My Opinion Of Farewell To Manzanar Review: I think that Farewell To Manzanar is an o.k. book. This book taught me how to be tolerance, because when Jeanne had to go to american schools there were alot of girls that would pick on her and she would just deal with it. I think that this book is a great book for you to read if you want to read about Japanese Americans during World War one and two. I think that it was bad how the government treated the Japanese. I think the Japanese should have gotten the same treatment as everybody else. Since I have read this book I have thought different about how people use to get treated back then. I always thought the Japanese got treated just like the rest of the people did. This book has made me think different about freedom also. When I said that Jeanne was being tolerante in the book she was also being tolerant when she was in camp. She didn't know when she was going to get out and she just sat there and dealt with all of the pressure. When I say that I thought the Japanese got treated differently I am meaning like when the government just put them out there house I know they were in shock and didn't know what to say. I think that if the Japanese got put out everybody else should have gotten put out to. 7.2 C.A
Rating: Summary: Farewell to Manzanar Review: This book is a very good book to read,but sad to. The sad part about it is that papa got taken form his family. It would be sad to lose your father,and your sons looking after your wife. But papa came back after staying at Fort Lincoln. And another thing,I really don't know why americans still whant to tret jene and her family,like they come from a diffrent plant.They can't even get a real job,becaues they speak chinese. The reason why I like this book is becaues of the real iife thats exists in this here book. I love books that has historical fition and nonfiction in it. And the way you say about Manzanar is exsiting and sad at the same time. I hope you write more books like this one.7.1exjb
Rating: Summary: Farewell to manzanar Review: I think that this book was sad, and intresting at the same time.I think it is sad because, they didnt have ahome and barely any friends. I think this boko is intresting bacause, the most impotant thing to the was to communicate with each other. In this book it was sad to me because they didnt have any friends or a home and the book said they couldnt go back home cause they do not have a home . When she finally found some here to stay the other kids at her school didnt think that she could do the things that she did.The intresting part to me was when the book said that they couldnt communicate and they didnt have a kitchen or a kitchen table, but the weir d thing was that was the most important to them. 7.2 K.W.
