Question

Make a prediction about the topic of Dwight Okita’s poem titled “In Response to Executive Order 9066: All Americans of Japanese Descent Must Report to Relocation Centers.”?

Answer 1

All i know is that i was written by a japanese girl.  From what I read, the executive order was issued during World War II, and that it was eventually used against those with foreign enemy ancestry like Japanese, Italians and Germans. 

They would be sent to internment camps,the camps were described as neutral countries or confined in a place without trial. 

So this poem means that the Japanese girl is one of those people that would be sent to another country or place/relocation centers outside or within US area. 

But the Japanese girl has already made friends, you know lived her life, made friends with an American girl, this showed that they have bonded. 

The tomatoes that she mentioned was another sign that the areas they would be relocating would probably be like a big warehouse or something or a place where she's not free to do anything even plant tomatoes. 

When she said that she would give the tomato seeds to her friend so she can plant them for her, that means they will never see each other again. It's actually a very sad poem.
