The first sentence is the answer
About two-thirds of all Japanese Americans interned at Manzanar were American citizens by birth. President Franklin Roosevelt's executive order took freedom away from these American citizens without a fair due process. This was because of people's false belief that everyone of Japanese descent had something to do with this, and a somewhat false fear that the Japanese army was plotting something else and would attack America again.
Manzanar’s internees suffered from the harsh desert environment. Temperatures were as high as 110ºF in the summer and frequently dropped below freezing in the winter. This, combined with "The temporary, tar paper-covered barracks, the guard towers" showed how badly the Japanese Americans were treated in the internment camps.
This was also a form of racism because they were judged because of how they looked and a false belief that they would do something wrong.
They were also judged for something their "mother country" did, and they may not have agreed with what had happened.
B) They are about three feet long and live in burrows.
The correct answer is Keller states her main idea in the first paragraph and then uses a chronological recollection to support the main idea.
In the first paragraph, Keller recalls when she met her teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, and thinks of it as the best and most important day of her life. This idea is supported by the following paragraphs since all of them retell in chronological order what her teacher taught her, how she did it and how Keller wonderfully felt about her achievements.
The best answer is
<span>The author uses indirect characterization to describe how Millicent feels.
While the author's description of the ceremony gives the idea that Millicent probably looks pretty gross, with egg on her head and whatnot, the passage mainly gives the reader an empathetic view into Millicent's experience.
The scene is described as sounds and sensations from Millicent's point of view. She feels her stiff hair, and the cold egg on her back, hears the stifled laughter and crunch of the egg breaking. We can imagine the intensity of the experience, blindfolded and hearing, feeling, and probably smelling the unpleasant experiences during this initiation.
In the end, the passage concludes with: "</span><span>It was all part of the ceremony." This final sentence may relay how Millicent is processing the unpleasant initiation, rationalizing that this is just a step on her way to being part of the group. </span>
