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.

Compare and Contrast What conditions made life difficult for homesteaders? What helped homesteaders survive? Give examples.
yKpoI14uk [10]
The conditions were usually of natural causes. For example, since homesteaders relied on self-sufficiency and were mostly agricultural throughout history, a homesteader might suffer immeasurably if a drought hit and destroyed all their crops since it was their only source of income. Sometimes however in the United States they could also get raided by bandits or Native Americans since they would be usually settling in new areas towards the western frontier.

They relied on some technological advancements to survive. For example, they used barbed wires and weaponry to fend off unwanted animals or people who would try to harm them. They would also use things like the steel plow to help ensure that their land was better suited for crops. Some also relied on windmills both for power and for things like grinding grains.<span />
