I. Introduction  

During World War II, The Wakatsuki family was forced to live in Manzanar. The beginning when The Wakatsuki family lived happily in the long beach until they came out of The concentration camp, many things happened. During this time, positive things happened, but also negative things happened. All these things had a great effect on Jenny afterward. Despite they lived there and had food and school, I think that Jenne's experience was more negative than positive.

II. Body Paragraph 1:  Opposing Point #1 + Rebuttal

Topic sentence

Many have argued that the Wakatsuki family had a good life before the camp, and during the camp, they had food to eat and they could go to school there. I think their three years in the camp after the attack on Pearl Harbor had a great impact on Jenny.

1. Although they had food to eat and a place to live, they could no longer eat together at the big table as before.

2. Even when Jenny was young, the fact that her mother cried every day during the time her father was taken was a big influence on her.

3. The food they had there was terrible.

III. Body Paragraph 2:  Opposing Point #2 + Rebuttal

Topic sentence

Others argue that Jenny felt safe and happy at the camp school. She got along well with the Japanese children there and enjoyed the classes there.

           1. Jenny's father came back from the trial very negative and became an alcoholic.

2. They live in such a small place.

3. From the beginning of her life until her father came back, her father went through these things and became very negative. Moreover, she often abused her mother after drinking, which frightened Jenny when she was a child and was also the reason for her resistance to her father.

III Body Paragraph 3

Finally, some say that Jenny met her friend at the school and won the beauty contest after she went out to the refugee camp, but I think it hurt her more when she was discriminated against.

1. Jenny is often discriminated against at school because she is Japanese.

2. White Caucasian children’s parents didn’t accept Jeanne to visit their homes and play with their children.  The boys didn’t want to date with her. 

3. Her father's traditional concept made her very annoying, made her psychological resistance to traditional Japanese culture.

Part III. Conclusion - Paragraph 5

In summary, Jenny suffered a lot. She always felt like she would never be like them, like the white and white kids at school. No matter how hard she tried, people still looked down at her. She was ashamed that her father could not integrate into white society. This forced her to resist traditional Japanese culture. Therefore, I think that Jenne's encounter was more negative than positive.  Nowadays, racial discrimination still exists all over the world. But I think people should not judge a person by the color of his skin or his nationality.
