 * NOTES FOR STORY.

name: Hanako (Hana) Suzuki age: 10 familly members: mom, twin, brother, and dad.

My name is Hanako Suzuki, Hana for short. I was only 10 years old. My family was living in Utah. My mother & father are what you would call Issei, or people born in Japan. My life was just like any normal childs life. We were a happy family, with many luxuries. It was breakfast time, and we were sitting at the table listening to the radio as we did every morning. It shouted "BREAKING NEWS!!! the Japaneese have bombed Pearl Harbor." When we heard this we were shocked at the news. We continued our day as any normal day. My sister, brother, and I went to school. My parents went to work. At school, I felt as if all eyes were on me, I felt like an out cast, a traitor. We came home and ate dinner as a family. Every one was quiet, execpt for the stories told about the day, and how everyone treated them differently. My mother send us off to bed, she as well as my father went to their bedroom. There came a knock at the door, and the military came in. They searched the house up & down looking for bombs, at the moment I felt as if i didnt belong here, as if i wasnt a natural born citizen. The next few days, we continued going to school and work. I was scared everyday. I begged my mother & father not to make me go to school, but they did. At school, everyone was acting weird. None of my American friends would talk to me. Not even Lucy, my best friend, would play with me. Teachers wouldnt even call on me in class. I had to make friends with the other Japanese-decent people in my class. Every day, more and more of my family's friends were being taken away to what they told us was depriving them of what they came to America for, freedom. They called it an internment camp. We were given a warning, to pack up all of our stuff ASAP. We packed everything we could, but it wasnt much. We were told only to bring what we could carry. The soilders came in the next morning and brought us to an Assembly center, i beleive it was called the Frezno Assembly Center. This place was fenced in barbed wire, and we felt like caged animals, no longer humans. From there they brought us to an internment camp.
