Citizen 13660: US Representation

   Although Okubo was treated unfairly by the United States through Executive Order 9066 she remains fairly unbiased throughout her text and illustrations.  The text is descriptive of her experience bearing little emotion.  It can be gathered that she still holds respect for her nation, especially when she shares her experience through the process of dividing up the "loyal" and "un-loyal" Japanese Americans.  In an illustration she is sticking her tough out at one of the "rabble rousers" (176-177).  The text, however, remained unbiased and descriptive rather than personal.  

   The illustrations overall were comical keeping the mood light despite the controversial situation.  It is a reflection of her mood throughout the situation from my perspective.  She had to make what she could out of the situation.  Instead of demonizing the United States she created comical illustrations of her experiences.  At no point did any of her context give me the impression of anger towards the nation.
