2-1-Q #3

The first panel that stood out to me was the second one from the top on page 37. The horrible conditions of the train came across very well through the art. I liked the use of onomatopoeias to show the noisiness inside the train cars. The shading on the floor also gave the train a quality of dirtiness. The second panel that I found interesting was the top one on page 41. I found that the way that the three panels were combined into one helped depict the scene better. The screeching tires cutting through the middle helped portray the loudness of it. The change from the passengers sleeping to them all wide awake was amplified by the layout of the panel. 

The windows on the trains transporting Japanese Americans to the internment camps were often blacked out with curtains or shades. This was done to keep the passengers from knowing where they were headed. Not being aware of their surroundings made the passengers even more scared and worried. https://ddr.densho.org/browse/topics/66/

What do you think the numbers on the tags given to passengers mean?
