Read the excerpt from "In Response to Executive Order 9066". Of course I’ll come. I’ve packed my galoshes and three packets of tomato seeds. Denise calls them love apples. My father says where we’re going they won’t grow. The father’s comment in this stanza lends the poem a tone of playfulness. irony. formality. hopelessness.

The correct answer is hopelessness.

It is obvious from his comment that the future might not be very bright should they go there. Tomato seeds not growing where they are going can be extended to the idea that absolutely nothing flourishes in that place and that everything is hopeless and negative should they decide to go there.
