The following email was sent to families of students who did not take the test on March 27:  "Your student missed a Japanese test on March 27th, just before spring break.  He or she needs to make that test up after school by 4 p.m. Friday, April 10th.  I've told the students this and also posted the information on my curriculum blog, www://crbsk.blogspot.com.  Making up the test will not be possible after that time, as we will go over the test in class.  Students will have to write a specific essay (by hand, on special Genko-yoshi paper) in Japanese, instead, to avoid receiving an F for the missing test.
       "I'm hoping that each student will take the test, as taking the test will be easier and less work than writing the essay!"


”Come See the Paradise"  4th Installment
      Jack arrives at the camp seven months after the Kawamura family has moved there.  He is wearing his Army uniform and tells the truck driver giving him a lift that he is on 24-hour leave.  A riot is going on inside the camp, and Jack jumps off the truck to go inside.  He and Lily are re-united.  Charlie is in the hospital -- injured in the riot -- and Papa Kawamura sits beside him, but they do not speak because of the bitterness between them.  Jack stays three days without permission (AWOL) before returning to his military unit.  Papa Kawamura works in his vegetable field and builds a chair, where he sits and speaks to no one.
      All the camp internees are asked to sign a multiple-item questionnaire and loyalty oath, including two items: #27 Do you renounce all allegiance to foreign powers, and #28 Are you willing to serve in the U.S. military?   Harry signs, but Charlie does not.  Charlie and other protesters refuse to sign # 27 and 28 on the grounds that, if they renounce Japan, they will have no country at all, and if they agree to serve in the U.S. military they will have to shoot and kill fellow Japanese.  Charlie becomes a "No No Boy" and is sent to Tule Lake Camp, where dissidents are kept.
      Jack comes back to camp yet again (also AWOL), finding out that Papa Kawamura is in the hospital.  The men are reconciled, Papa Kawamura saying that it is enough that Jack continue to love Lily.  So Jack goes back to the Army, where he is in even worse trouble because the authorities have found out about his past in the Projectionists' Union in Brooklyn in 1936.
       Papa Kawamura dies, and Mama cries, reciting the Japanese proverb, 「七転び八起き」　"Nana korobi, ya oki" "7 times down, 8 times up."  Alas, poor Mr. Kawamura, he has suffered 7 times up, 8 times down."
     Charlie gets sent off to Japan; Dulcie gets pregnant; and Harry gets killed in combat in Europe.
