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.

What is a drawback for a member of Congress voting as a partisan?
love history [14]

Voting as a partisan can be an effective way to mobilize your constituents to keep voting for you, as long as you don't engage even more partisan wings of your party.

Unlike moderates or people who compromise, partisans don't have the ability to draw new members into their coalition, unless new people see their way of thinking.
