Question

Compare noda describes a scene (lines 88-92) in which she confronts her parents for being too passive in response to the japanese internment. How does the section that immediately follows this scene respond to Noda's complaints and show that her view has evolved? Why was Noda not "devastated" by her uncle's anger?

Answer 1

Noda's view likely evolves to a more nuanced understanding of her parents' reaction to Japanese internment, which may also explain her emotional response to her uncle's anger.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scene described by the student, where Noda confronts her parents, showcases her initial frustration with their perceived passivity during the Japanese internment. However, the section that follows presents an evolution in Noda's perspective. It may convey that, after further reflection or understanding of the broader context, Noda recognizes the complexities faced by her parents and the Japanese American community during that time. This complex emotional and societal landscape may explain why Noda was not 'devastated' by her uncle's anger. Instead, she might have come to an understanding that her uncle's response and the attitude of her parents were part of a survival mechanism in a time of great injustice and fear.
