Yuri Kochiyama, George Takai, and the U.S. Government all portray what happened to Japanese-Americans during WWII from a differing perspective.
Takai was a young child when he moved to a relocation camp
(some say concentration camp),and Kochiyama was a young adult. Both of them, writing and recollecting as much older adults, are basing their accounts on memory. The U.S. Government film that you watched was made during World War II to show other Americans how the Japanese-Americans were experiencing the camps and,unlike Takai and Kochiyama, portrays the “relocation camps” in a very favorable light. Which interpretation or interpretations do you most believe, and what makes it or them convincing? Conversely, why are other interpretations less convincing? And finally,
did Japanese-Americans pose a threat to national security following the bombing of Pearl Harbor that necessitated the camps?
You can also bring in any research that you may have done on your own or info that is in the slides or the Foner textUse Correct APA Format. Your paper should include an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Also, support your answers with the course’s readings and at least two scholarly journal articles.

Additional Guidelines
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporated in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
