What double impulse does the writer experience in the story? How does the experience of internment influence the author? What do you learn about outside influences from reading this section? How are you affected by outside influences?
The writer had the urge to disappear but the desire to be acceptable at the same time. The internment camp leaves the author thinking that's how she should be treated even when she's living a normal free life, which is wrong. I learned that outside influences make a big difference in people's lives. People want to be accepted and feel welcome. Especially with all this happening during her growing years, she will grow up thinking discrimination and feeling left out, which once again is not right. The perfect example of outside influences on me is ever pressure. Being 18 years old, you get pressured into a lot of things you might not necessarily want to do. In the story the girl getting left out just because her culture messed something up is messed up, just because I have blonde hair doesn't mean I'm a dumb blonde. People need to get to know someone before assuming and jumping to conclusions.
