Farewell to Manzanar PDF

• On the first weekend of December 1941, Jeanne Wakatsuki has just turned seven. She’s with her Mama and her sisters at the wharf near her house, watching the fishing boats get ready to leave.
• The water and sky are clean and blue, and there’s a lot of exciting yelling, especially in Papa’s boat—he likes to “give orders.” Jeanne’s oldest brothers, Bill and Woody, are Papa’s crew, and when everything is ready they sail away from the wharf.
• Papa has two boats, in which he has invested a lot of money and from which he takes a lot of pride. When he goes fishing, he wears tall boots and a turtleneck Mama has made for him.
• Papa works hard as a fisherman, especially since he is still paying off a loan from one of the local canneries, which he used to buy his boats.
• Many of the Japanese families in the area work as independent fishermen, and although they’re technically competing with each other they always set sail together and share their nets.
• Standing at the harbour, Mama, Billy and Woody’s wives, and Jeanne wave goodbye. They don’t know exactly when the men will return, as the length of the trip depends on the location of the fish.

• Jeanne is used to seeing the boats disappear beyond the horizon, but this time they stop when they’re still in sight and soon start returning to shore.
• Chizu, Woody’s wife, wonders aloud what’s wrong. While the boats are still sailing in, a cannery worker runs down to the dock and shouts that the Japanese have just bombed Pearl Harbor.
• Neither Chizu nor Mama knows what Pearl Harbor is, but the employee is running down the docks “like Paul Revere,” and doesn’t have time to explain.
• That night Papa burns his Japanese flag, which he brought when he emigrated from Hiroshima. He also burns any papers which demonstrate his connection to Japan.
• However, this effort proves futile; he’s not a U.S. citizen and he’s a fisherman, making him a suspicious person in the eyes of the FBI.
