25-d

1. The living accomidations were not to good. First of all it was in the middle of the desert and the shacks were made out of "one thickness of pine planking paper covered with tarpaper". They sat on concrete footings and thier were gaps inbetween the planks, which ended up widening over time.

2. The accomidations at Manzanar were so stark and crowded because they has to send all of the Japanese some where in a short amount of time and it was probley the best that could be done in the time period.

3. An incident in this passage that demonstrates a lack of cultral awareness is the incident with the rice. In japanese culture rice is only eaten with salty and savory foods but never sweet foods. At the camp however they were served rice with canned appricots.
