In town, they would not sell to japs. Why did Mirikitani choose to use the word “japs” in the third line of this excerpt from “A

ttack the Water”? That is how she and her family referred to themselves. She needed fewer syllables to fit the rhythm of the poem. That was the derogatory term that others called her family. She wanted the poem to be an accurate portrayal of her family.

The right answer would be the third one: That was the derogatory term that others called her family.

The poem speaks about the reality of prisoners of war, and in this specific context, the japanese people in Vietnam, after the strategic destruction of dams around a local river.

The reason why they would not sell anything to them at the town, was because of the conflict that arose, which led them to be seen as enemies.

In order to maximize profits early in the nineteenth century, what was a common practice of business owners?
Natasha_Volkova [10]
A common practice was to pay ridicilously small wages to workers themselves and pay even less to children and women who were working at factories. Another thing that was done was to either import foreign workers who would have to work for even less, or to move production to companies overseas where they would set up a distribution and where workers themselves would also have to work for very small amounts of money. This increased their profit margins.
