2-1-Q #5

The first panel that stood out to me is the one on the left of the second row on page 100. The image of the family riding in the car was very impactful as it is depicting them as being free. It is the first time for a while in the story that there are no guards or fences around them. On the panel George is reminiscing on the memory as being very peaceful and warm. The second panel that I found interesting is the bottom left one on page 82. Two older boys are playing war and fighting over who gets to be America in their game of America versus Japan. I found it fascinating that in the war they see America as the better and stronger country. The kids associating themselves as American citizens speaks volume to how they aren’t spies. 

Inmates were occasionally allowed to leave the camp for shopping and working. At first it was a very strict system, but over time the rules to leave became looser. The south at this time was segregated, and the Japanese were granted honorary white status, so they went to the white places. https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Rohwer/

Why do you think the two older boys made George say that to the guard?
