6. Analyse: Sone says the camp "was hopefully called Camp Harmony." Do you think the name is appropriate, or is it ironic? Support your answer with evidence from the text.
I think that the name "Camp Harmony" is rather ironic. This internment camp was a "home" for all Japanese American people. In this camp, people were surrounded by a fence and the people had no right to walk where they wanted. Their home was also very bad because drops of water were coming out of the roof. The meal was very bad and the place had such a limited space sand was so crowded, that families had to sit individually away from each other. This environment was new to all Japanese Americans. Although people tried to act normally like nothing happened, a lot of things were going on in people's minds. They were all confused as to why they were here. They haven't done anything wrong, and they didn't have any alliance with Japan, so why were they here? People's minds were in chaos because they were confused, and therefore, I think that the title should be renamed into "Camp Chaos."

I agree. The camp wasn't at all harmony. The environment was chaos, dirty, muddy, crowded, while the food and the living spaces were limited to minimum quality standard.
I laughed so hard at "Camp Chaos"! Awesome idea David!
No offense, your ideas was totally right. Harmony in this situation means to live a comfortable life, and have the freedom to do anything. This camp isn't so "harmony" at all because people are surrounded by fences, not allowing them to have freedom. Also, the food and the canteen was bad which makes people's life uncomfortable. I think you should choose a stronger name than "Chaos Camp" because the author doesn't talk too much about confusion of the camp; mainly her bad feelings towards the camp. Nice job on having all the details!!!
I like your idea of calling the camp as "Camp Chaos". This internment camp is absolutely chaos. People live in dirty environment, bad for their health, and get discriminated by the government. I totally agree with your idea. Nice Job, Dave!!!
i like the idea "Camp Chaos" but i think the author is trying to express the opposite of that and it would make the prose more effective. [it's hard to describe it] However, it was good to know the chaotic of the camp. :]
I know rite, the original name is not even possible. and also I like your "Camp Chaos". Nice job man
P/S : wooo look at victor's "comment", it's more like a paragraph to me.
