Journal 64: Camp Harmony?

In the story, author calls the camp "Camp Harmony". I think this is a very bad name for the camp. The camp was meant for people who's ancestors are Japanese who lives in America. Because America is having a war with Japan, the president of America told all the Japanese who were living in American to summon up and stay in a camp while America was still in war. This is because that the American government don't believe in the Japanese who were actually Americans. They were afraid the the "Japanese" would give secrets about the Americans away to their original country, which is Japan. Even though the Americans considered the "Japanese" Japanese, they grew up in America, ate American food throughout their whole life, only spoke English, born in America, listened to American music. I think this is very unfair to the people,because they were actually Americans. Just because they look Asian, that doesn't mean they are Asians. I think this is very unfair. The camp was called "Camp Harmony" Harmony means living peacefully, and staying together, but what actually happened was people being forced into a camp because of something they didn't do. This is why I think it is a very bad name for the camp.
