Literary Focus ♥ Camp Harmony

Question Number 5: How would you define the mood of people on the bus at beginning of the journey to Camp Harmony? at the end of the journey?

At first the Japanese-Americans were excited to go to Camp Harmony. I think the name of the camp sound very happy and what else could go wrong when a camp your going to have the word "Harmony" in it. These people also did not know where they were going, wishing for the best, and singing joyfully. Expecting the best, but in return getting the worst. On the way to Camp Harmony they were given a number identification. When they got to the Camp each family or person was assigned a room, as big as a living room to Sone. After a while Sone and everyone else felt like they were prisoners, criminals of some sort. They were blamed for that their home country did; the big thing that America is forgetting is the American in Japanese-American. But Sone's mother seems to always be in a decent mood, even though they are locked up in a prison like camp. She tries to get the good out of everything, showing her family in every bad is a good.

  3. Nice Kristine, but be a little more specific. What was the mood when they got there? What was the mood at the end of the story? I can infer that you think it started out joyful and that it ended in an optimistic mood, but you never directly answer the question.
