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.
