It is very ironic to named the internment camp Harmony because based on www.dictionary.com, harmony's synonyms are peace, unity, friendship and in this story, the camp is just a dirty place where Japanese Americans were treated badly. Another reason is that harmony is something that has to do with music, and music is about freedom and peace, but in the story, the camp is like a prison that is guarded by the military and people were an able to make a choice and it is a very dangerous place. The author clearly wrote, "The lights came from high towers placed around the camp where guards with Tommy guns kept a twenty-four hour vigil." Maybe the military just name it Harmony so the Japanese Americans will lose their hopes when they got there.
Your Answer is cool and true too. The Camp named Harmony is too nice, it's should be something more prison-like name. Just Commenting :D
ReplyDeleteHammer-y would be a good name?
ReplyDeleteNice answer, i do agree with you Lucky. The author describe the place horribly but the name of the Camp was too nice. It should be named like American Japanese supervisor or something like that
ReplyDeleteGreat answer Lucky!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. :)
This post is really nice because you even brought of the definition of "harmony" into it. To me that's an excellent way to prove your disagreement to the camp's name ♥
I don't think that harmony really necessarily must have something to do with music, but still you proved your point by saying that it involved peace and freedom.
AWESOME WORK! ♥
Wow, that's a really good idea right there! I agree with you with every single sentence. Really, like really nice job! (:
