“in response to executive order 9066: all americans of japanese descent
must report to relocation centers”
by dwight okita

dear sirs:
of course i’ll come. i’ve packed my galoshes and three packets of tomato seeds. denise calls them love apples. my father says where we’re going they won’t grow.
i am a fourteen-year-old girl with bad spelling and a messy room. if it any, i will tell you i have always felt funny using chopsticks and my favorite food is hot dogs. my best friend is a white girl named denise — we look at boys together. she sat in front of me all through grade school because of our names: o’connor, ozawa. i know the back of denise’s head very well.
i tell her she’s going bald. she tells me i copy on tests. we’re best friends.
i saw denise today in geography class. she was sitting on the other side of the room. “you’re trying to start a war,” she said, “giving secrets away to the enemy, why can’t you keep your big mouth shut? ”
i didn’t know what to say. i gave her a packet of tomato seeds and asked her to plant them for me, told her when the first tomato ripened she’d miss me.
the second one is!

18 points so for my assignment there need to be like conflict and stuff but i don't know where i am going with this. can somebody me out? and it needs to be turned in by 12.ring ring, ring ring… “dr. watson, hi. i have run out of blueberries at my berry shop! may you pick some up on your way here? remember, not the ones by the big pine. the ones by the creek.” “of course, sherlock! i’m on my way right now. see you soon! ” said dr. watson. beep. dr. watson always wants to impress sherlock so he made sure to leave right away to have enough time to pick through all the berries and find the best ones. it was about a 4-hour walk from dr. watson’s cottage to the berry shop, so he made sure not get distracted. about 2 hours into his walk, he started approaching the berries. however, these were the ones by the big pine that did not look very appetizing. the blueberries were so small, you could taste the sourness through your teeth. most of them weren’t even ripe yet. straight green. dr. watson turned away with his sour face and headed toward the creek. there, he saw the most beautiful berries. plump and juicy, dark blue, and so big, you could almost compare them to some grapes! as dr. watson went to pick the first berry, sherlock called. “hi! just checking in. how is it going? we have a few people who put in orders for blueberries. they will be picking them up tomorrow morning and we still need to get the blueberries through the sanitizing process.” “yes, i am going as fast as i can. i will be there soon! ”
