Angel Island Poems

From Kelly Tanimura:

In what ways to the detainees view life differently than today's generations?
(Even if they are descendants of the the detainees.)

It is important for our country to rmember our history and wrong-doings so that
we do not make the same mistakes. In #31 the author said "I must remember that
this chapter once existed". Why is it important for him to remember? Why
wouldn't he want to forget the trauma of being detained?

In #58 the author said, "Life is worth worrying about and you should restrain
yourselves". How does this differ from today's school of thought that claims
things like, "don't worry, be happy", "live life to the fullest", and "Life's
short".

From Linda Lam:

What kind of emotional state do you think the detainees were in
while carving on the walls? What do you think motivated the first
person to write on the wall?
