Book Report: Part 2

I have just finished the book Thin Wood Walls by David Patneaude. The book had actually kept me into it and had me interested throughout the end of the book. I think that I would still have stuck with my old statement and would have still agreed with Joe’s decisions through the end of the book. I would still think that I would have done the same things as Joe because he has made very well decisions and I would probably make the same ones.

At the end of the book, I gave the book 9 out of 10 because the book had gotten even more interesting towards the end when he is at the camp. It had actually gotten better since he was just living normal everyday normal life during the middle of the book which was about my last entry.

I would still probably have still learned the same thing being that patience is the way to go most of the time because it just makes life easier and through the book from the middle to the end, you will see that Joe finally starts to learn patience which makes things easier for him.

Overall, the book was a good book, and I thought it portrayed how much Japanese Americans had went through during WWII and how if you had a radio, pocketknife, or a telegraph you would have it confiscated because they thought those items would be used to help the Japanese attack us again. The book was good, and David Patneaude did a good job of writing the book Thin Wood Walls.

Book Report: Part 1

While reading the book Thin Wood Walls, I like it. The book so far has been pretty captivating and interesting. The main character is named Joseph Hanada. Joe is boy at the age of about 13 years old and is dealing with the stereotypical time dealing with Pearl Harbor. Joe has had to make a lot of tough choices so far in the book, ranging from just the simple right or wrong ordeal or something a lot more significant that could affect him for a while. I agree with Joe’s decisions so far, like when he has almost gone into fights with non-Japanese people during the time following Pearl Harbor. I probably would have done and chose the same decision because everyone already has bad feelings toward American Japanese people and it would not be smart to go and pick a fight, which would make people madder at you.

I have learned in the book so far that sometimes you have to have patience and not just jump into things even though you may want to or it may have or does seems like the right thing to do, and most of the time things will have turned out for the better and everything would have been fine.

So far, I would probably rate the book a eight out of ten. I would give it an eight because the book has been pretty captivating and has kept me interested besides the point that sometimes I got bored because chapter after chapter were about the same thing. Otherwise, so far the book is going pretty good.

Memoir

Hawaii
Last year, I was thinking, and I brought up the idea to go to Hawaii. I told my parents about, and they said if I saved up $200+ dollars, then we could go. A few months later, I saved $200 and my parents said, “We’re going to Hawaii!” When we went to Hawaii, the flight took 9 long, boring hours. When we got there, it was such a long wait, but it was worth it, because we got to go stay in a 5-Star hotel. The trip was awesome we went everywhere. The third or fourth day, we went to Pearl Harbor. It was one of those places that you have to be there to know what it is actually like. It was awesome, there were artifacts and a whole bunch of cool things and we actually got to meet some survivors of the attack, also we got to go see the USS Missouri and Ford Island. Next after Pearl Harbor we went to the Aloha Stadium (the pro bowl is held there). At Aloha stadium, we went on the outside and went to the flea market; there were a lot of cool things, ranging from homemade things to shells collected on the beach. My family and I were about to go, and a guy saw me and asked if I wanted to go down to the field of Aloha Stadium and of course I said “yes”. The next day, we went to shark cage expedition, and it was in the morning with the cool breeze and the sea water stinging your skin like a thousand little pins. When we got to the spot, the sea was choppy, but not to choppy. When we got into the water, there were like 5 sharks, and as time progressed, around like 30 to 35 sharks came, it was so awesome!
If you ever get the chance to go to Hawaii, take the chance, because you won’t regret it.
