Mind Map

I couldnt figure out how to add the photos straight into the mind map

Journal week 2

Journal 2
Our group had a better discustion this week, as we read from chapter 5-8.
We discused how its a bit difficult to follow the present to past back to present. Its not always clear that they are going back and forth. We discussed on how they came to San Piedro.
We discussed how that the court case could be a source of conflict between the Japanese-Americans and the Americans, because they start talking on how when the Japanese-Americans are forced to leave that Mrs. Heine sells theyre land and that they didnt like that very much.
We discussed how when Ishmael and Hatsue kiss at 1st its was awkward and then it was serious, we were disscussing how it could potentialy have so much controversy, just over a little thing like a kiss

Journal week 1

Week 1
Our group, did not have very much of a discustion, as their wasn't much that was happening in Snow Falling On Cedars
We read to about chapter 4-6 given the speed of the reader.
During these chapters, the narrator was building the characters identity.
We didn't find much of anything that was a link to violence, conflict, darkness and destruction. However we found a little connection to ''Pain''.
The connection to pain, we discused would be the emotional pain that the death of Carl Heine put on his family, through the court battle and when they found out he had passed. We discused pain may have been a factor when Carl Heine was ''killed''.
