Nick W. Japanese Americans

Embry talks briefly about the life in Manzanar while Adam's pictures show more of what it was like there. Adam's pictures show that there was a dress making class, feilds to work in, and games to play while the Japanese Americans were there. On the other hand Adam's depicts life at the camp easy and stress free. That is not how Embry told her story, she talks about the barbed wire that fenced them in, but in Adam's pictures there was no barbed wire to be seen. Embry also talks about a school that the nuns strted, and the most comparable thing to a school that Adam's potographed was the church. Overall Adam's portrays the camp as a happy place, with his pictures of smiling people, and a free place. Embry talks about the camp as a closely watched horrible place where no one should ever have to stay.

I think what you wrote was right on. I agree with you completely. They both contrast very much, and each can only capture so much. I think its real cool we have almost the same opinion.
