One day Will and Jake were playing basketball outside. They were having a great time and took a break to sit down and catch their breaths. They started to hear sirens and the cops had pulled up to the house. They were both nervous, yet curious so they walked towards it. The sheriff got out of his car and immediately asked Will if he was Will Chong. Will nodded, and then they put him in the back of the car. Jake had just noticed that Will’s parents were in the back too! The sheriff came up to Jake and said, “Be careful who you hang out with.” Jake looked puzzled after he had said that to him. Since they were at Wills house, Jake decided to walk back to his house because he was alone. He told his parents what had happened and explained his confusion to them. They started to explain to him how the camps in America works, and Jake felt angry. He didn’t like how the government could just take away his friend like that just because of his race. After Jake’s long talk with his parents, he started noticing that all the Japanese kids he knew from school were missing. Jake and his dad were playing cards and he started to think about what the actual camps were like. His dad was nervous because he did not know how to say it because at the time Jake was only in the third grade. “Well son,” exclaimed Jake’s dad, “The camps are very harsh.” “People do not get fed, they are tortured if they disobeyed the Americans, and they are kept in small cells apart from their families.” Jake had no idea about this before, and how awful it really was.
