Dear Parent/Guardian :

Your child is currently studying Japanese language and culture.  To enhance your child’s learning experience, and to increase understanding of Japanese-American immigrants  history, I am planning to show Allan Parker’s 1991 film, Come See the Paradise (given 3 stars by Roger Ebert).

Though the film is rated R, I am convinced of its educational value.  It concerns the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, seen partly through the eyes of a young Irish-American labor organizer (played by Dennis Quaid) whose wife (Tamlyn Tomita) is sent to a prison camp with her whole family. The rating is due primarily to language issues, having particularly to do with immigrant groups’ use of American slang.  Dialogue is in both Japanese and English, and thus the different linguistic competencies of first, second, and third generation Japanese-Americans are highlighted.   I can assure you that the film will be shown in appropriate context, including discussion and activities.  I sincerely believe that OPRF students have the maturity to view this film and that they will gain a deeper understanding of both American history and world history as affecting Japanese and Japanese-Americans. 

Please complete the form by March 25^th if you are refusing permission for your child to view Come See the Paradise.  If you do not wish to have your son or daughter view this film, I will gladly provide a relevant and appropriate  alternative assignment.

Please feel free to phone or email if you have any questions.

                                      Sincerely,

                                       (Mrs.) Carol Ruth Kimmel, Japanese language teacher
