The expression of themes and topic in "In Response to Executive Order 9066" and "Mericans" shows that there is no one way or right way to be American or appreciate American culture. "In Response to Executive Order 9066" is a
When comparing Dwight Okita’s “In response to Executive Order: 9066” and William Yellowrobe’s “The Star Quilter”, it is easy to see the differences between the texts, but what is shocking is all of the similarities. Both Yellowrobe and Okita pick very controversial times in America as their scene and discuss the troubling events going on in that time. Although there are clear differences in their works, they share many feelings and messages. William Yellowrobe’s “The Star Quilter” features the interaction between two women, one Native American and the other Caucasian, in their 30s. The most crucial aspect of the two women’s conversations are the microaggressions that Luanne, the Caucasian women, is constantly berating Mona, the Native American
American identity presents the idea that only those born in the United States and have American or English heritage can be considered American. Both works, "In Response to Executive Order 9066," by Dwight Okita, and, "Mericans," by Sandra Cisneros reevaluate this claim. In these texts, the authors both contribute to the idea that American identity is not based on one's appearance, past culture, or heritage. Okita's text directly expresses the meaning of American identity through the point of view of his mother within, "In Response to Executive Order 9066," in the setting of the Japanese-American internment of 1942. For example, the mother writes to the US officials, "If it helps any, I always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food
Gemma Gao Mr. Skardal Literature and Law February 6, 2015 When the Emperor was Divine In the book When the Emperor was Divine, the story of a Japanese-American family that happened during World War II is being told.

Both stories have their differences and similarities, yet they both revolve around the effect of technology on the real world.
There are similarities and differences to be found in the stories through God’s provisions, the father/son relationships, and their tones.
The government sent out Execute Order 9066, which sent all Japanese to internment camps. The purpose of this essay is to explain why this executive order should have never gone out. First of all, it was unjustifiable. Many of the Japanese-Americans were born and raised in America.
Even though they are during the same time period does not mean that they have the same approach on the subject of faith, but they do use there concerns over the subject to help you question yourself and to think about your actions.

Although both authors convey the similar theme, I believe
Their use of compare and contrast lets them effectively explain the difference between their experiences and those around them. Using these modes of rhetoric both writers are able to communicate a common theme of being or fearful of what the future holds for them. The fact that there is a common theme between these two essays shows that messages can transcend time, works of literature and experiences. Narration is most commonly used to tell a story. Both writers use narration to tell their stories and by doing so make them more personal.
Political scientists and historians have always been on the opposite sides on the subject of how a decision is made. Political Scientists claim that by knowing a few details into the major players prior preferences that all future actions can be predicted by using that Rational Actors Model. However, historians refute this theory arguing that without knowing the context or the environment of the player, one can never truly understand the decision making process. By using the events which led to the internment of Japanese Americans I hope to show that any event can fit the model in hindsight but at the time of the actual decision there could have been many options for Japanese Americans short of internment.
Japanese Relocation The relocation and internment of the Japanese in America is often seen as one of our nation's greatest mistakes. For many, the quest is to now understand why we committed such an atrocious act. The most common explanations include racist attitudes, military ‘necessity’, and economic reasons. Japanese relocation was a disgracefully racist act that the Government of the U.S committed, an act that was virtually unnecessary and unjustified.
Those are some similarities for both of these stories.
