Answer 1

In the memoir published in th year of 1973 called "Farewell to  Manzanar" it describes the experiences of the Family of a Japanese couple James D. Houston  and Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and what they lived while they were imprisoned at the Manzanar concentration camp. This was at he time that  the United States of America government did an internment to the Japanese people living in the country at the time of World War II.  

By reading the story, you can tell there is family’s disintegration that happens mainly when they stop eating together. During day time the people at Manzanar were offered to spend hours doing volunteering jobs or working instead of staying all day long at the barracks. In chapter 4  the quote: "[Mama] would quickly subordinate her own desires to those of the family or the community, because she knew cooperation was the only way to survive." implies that the mother was willing to work there there creating an influence in her daughter.
