Mr. Doi and what I heard

Having Mr. Doi come and talk to my class was very intrigueing and I very much enjoyed it. Listening to his personal story and the hardships that he had to go through even though he was innocent and had done nothing wrong was crazy. It just showed me that people obviously make mistakes. His childhood to me was a really powerful part of when he talked I thought. I think its because then he was still growing up and didn't know what to think of the situation and also he probably couldn't have   understood the reality of it.  When Mr. Doi talked about Pearl Harbor he made it seem kinda humoris because he thought it was funny that his own country would turn on their own.  Thats kind of a sad thing to think about especially since our country is supposed to be united. Camp life for him he made seem not terrible. It sounded like the people who ran the camps tried to keep them busy and educated.  Life seemed to be the worst though for the Japanese after the war because some had to start from scratch and had nothing. Also some people were still against the Japanese living in America so they got discriminated against still. I feel like Mr. Doi got cheated and wasn't payed enough for what had happened to him and his family.
