The weekend in the summer were the best weekends ever. When we arrived at Bell Smith we drove around the gravel loop looking for the perfect campsite. After two trips around the campgrounds, we finally found one that we missed. It was one of the biggest campsites there with its own little loop in it to drive our trucks in. It was around 7 p.m., and we could not do much but pitch our tents before it got dark. Everybody else had these fancy tents while I had a little pup tent that you couldn’t even zip up. This tent is kind of a pain to setup. To setup this tent you have to drive in nine spikes just for the base. Then you need to find two branches, drive them into the ground. After than I had to set strings on the branch and pull them tight. …show more content…
We brought two coolers, one filled with water and the other filled with meat and pizza. We also brought a charcoal grill and some charcoal to cook the meat. But there was one problem… we did not have anything to cook the pizza on. So we set off into the pitch black woods with our flashlight to look for a “pizza stone.” As we are walking through the wood, over logs on the trail. Finally after five minutes of walking we finally found one. A big flat heavy rock big enough to cook a pizza on. Ben took the first turn hauling the rock back to the campsite. Next turn was me, it was very heavy after a while of me carrying it, I ask “who wants to carry it now?” and nobody was taking it, then Ben said that he would help me carry it the rest of the way back to camp. When we got to camp we set it on top of our fire to let it warm up. Ethan slid the pizza on the rock and let it cook. While it cooked, Ethan put a can of baked beans on the fire too. Everybody else lit the charcoal grill and pattied the meat and made ourselves some burgers. We ate our burgers and by the time we finish eating the pizza was done. We all chowed down on the …show more content…
when we decided to head the creek. All of us shined our flashlights on the road that lead to the trail. The trail has wooden steps that lead to a cliff. Once you get to the cliff you have to take another trail to another cliff that has stone steps to get below the cliff. At the base of the cliff is where everybody spray paints their name, except us because we always forget the spray paint. Well anyways, there are two trails: the one on the left takes you to a natural arch, the one on the right takes you to the rocks. The trial to the right is the one we took. It is a pretty far walk from the base of the cliff to the rocks. We finally get there after that long
Overall, the Japanese were interned during World War one because they were seen as a hypothetical threat to U.S security. The U.S viewed the Japanese population as saboteurs and more specifically, a threat national security. In document B of the Japanese internment DBQ it describes how the U.S racistly generalized the Japanese as Saboteurs who would easily destroy anything in their sight. With the mass hysteria in regards to the stereotype, the U.S too more precaution in regards to the Japanese community and imprisoned them. Moreover, another reason the Japanese were interned is because the Japanese only posed a threat to American security on the West coast.
In no time I had coordinated with the Chaplainand set schedule of recurring weekly services to be held in our recreation tent. Once this newopportunity was publicized a few of the more vocal Airmen raised concerns. I had decided toshut down the recreation tent during these services to anyone who was not attending.

On December 6th, 1941, America was a neutral power in what became known as World War Two. The next day, the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor, one of America’s major naval strongholds in the Pacific. The attack was by surprise and left around 2,100 Americans dead with an additional 2,000 wounded, and decimated America’s naval capability with 18 ships destroyed. After this, of course, America was no longer neutral—war was declared only a few days later, and her citizens were struck with a sudden sense of both fear and fury, a mixture of emotion that helped lead to the later internment of Japanese-Americans in the West and Midwest United States. With Japan as a primary enemy in the war, Americans made the mistake of viewing even Japanese-American
Murder, death, and destruction versus relocation. During WWII, the Japanese were relocated away from vital military locations and moved inland into Japanese Internment Camps. The European Jews, Gypsies, mentally ill, and anyone that opposed Hitler were put into Concentration and Death Camps. Some people think they are the same, but I think otherwise. The Japanese Internment Camps and German Concentration Camps were not the same thing because, their leaders views are very different, intentionally causing harm or unintentionally causing harm, and conditions in the different types of camps.
If I was alive during the 1940’s when the Japanese-American Internment happened, I would be really shocked, but obviously more scared. Honestly, I would have tried to get my family together and tried to live our lives low key. There really much, me as a teenager, would be able to do. I just be hoping that if one day, I had a friend sent to an internment camp, that they would be safe and live for longer years. If I saw or heard that one of my close friends were sent to an internment camp and I would never see them again, I would be really depressed and most likely tear up.
The following events caused the tensions to raise between Japan and The United States of America which led up to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Internment of Japanese Americans. They are the Rape of Nanking and the sudden stop of U.S exports to Japan. In the 1930s Japan, had become very nationalistic, militaristic, and desired for more land to expand the population. So, Japan went to China and conquered Manchuria, Northern China, then most of China, and eventually Southeast Asia. This help Japan get out of its economic crisis but soon a very tragic and horrendous even took place.
As a kid, I’ve heard about Japanese internment and it captivated me. My grandma would tell me how life was like in the internment camp. My fascination with Japanese internment lead me to choose it for National History Day. I wanted to learn more about this important mark in US History. My grandparents, Tom Inouye and Jane Hideko Inouye were put through this
How would you like to be forced out of your home and then sent to a location where you were forced to live there for an unknown amount of time? Well about 120,000 Japanese Americans were taken from their homes and sent to internment camps during World War II. The United States has been one of the most powerful and most imitated Nation throughout the world. However the United states is not perfect as it has made mistakes and unpolitical decisions that were based on fear and prejudeuce.
The internment of Japanese Americans during WWII was not justified. After Pearl Harbor, many Americans were scared of the Japanese Americans because they could sabotage the U.S. military. To try and solve the fear President Franklin D Roosevelt told the army in Executive order 9066 to relocate all Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. They were relocated to detention centers in the desert. Many of them were in the detention centers for three years.
“Wildwood Falls has a picnic area, and a great place to swim,” Rick, another assistant manager had offered. The location was set, and on a hot summer day in August, everyone that planned on going met at the pizza parlor. They packed several cases of soda in one car. Ben had several pizzas, along with other food prepared, and put in another vehicle.
No innocent people like the Japanese Americans should have been punished or looked as bad people because of their ancestry. The bombing of Pearl Harbor caused the U.S. to fear the Japanese Americans, so they placed them in internment camps. Japanese Americans shouldn’t of been punished because most of them were born and raised on the West Coast. The condition of the camps were often not pleasant. Japanese Americans were viewed as alien and untrustworthy, and isolated from others.
Japanese Internment (Executive Order 9066) Have you ever thought what happened back then,why war happened so much? Well there is one war there is one war I learned about, it’s the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This was mostly a between Japan and America. Also the united States not trusting the Japanese Americans and putting them into 10 different internment camps because of the bombing. Although Japanese Internment camps were caused by political,cultural, and economic factors, the most important causal factor was political.
World War II had lots of hard work to be done, and most of it was taken out on Jewish and Japanese people. The Japanese were put into internment camps, and the Jewish people in concentration camps. Not only was it the Jewish people, but people with mental illnesses, disabilities, and people who were homosexual. Anyone who was different was put into concentration camps. Even though they are similar, concentration and internment camps aren’t the same because one was out of fear, the other hatred, ‘actions’ versus ‘reactions’, and the Japanese had opportunities, while the Jewish didn’t.
Before we knew it we were only one behind. I started to get nauseated and I was freaking out. I had clammy hands and my friends were starting to worry about me. It was now our turn and there wasn't any stopping now. I got on
Daily Life at Concentration Camps Starving, cold, unclothed, sick, and hard working people were all put in concentration camps and treated horribly. The Jewish workers worked hard all day everyday or else they would get killed. The way the Nazi’s treated the Jews was extremely bad, the Jews would not get food, clothes, beds, and other necessities. There were all types of camps that had all kinds of jobs, you were assigned a job and didn 't get to pick a job. The Jews had a very compact schedule, they were busy all day, never any time to waste.
