PART A: How does Takei’s understanding of his internment develop over time?
butalik [34]

Answer:

B. He normalizes his experiences at first but eventually understands that his internment was not an example of democracy at its best.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Why I Love a Country that Once Betrayed Me" by George Takei. These are the options that come with this question:

A. He comes to realize that his internment was relatively easy compared to other Japanese Americans.

B. He normalizes his experiences at first but eventually understands that his internment was not an example of democracy at its best.

C. He begins to view his internment as a betrayal by America and loses faith in the ideals he once associated with it.

D. He appreciates the internment camps as a child and isn’t able to understand the injustice of the government’s actions until he is an adult.

This is the statement that best describes how Takei's understanding of the internment developed over time. In this text, Takei tells us that, when he was a child and was going through the experience of internment, he normalized it. He thought of the camp as his home, and thought the activities they engaged in to be normal. However, when he grew older, he realized that the experience was not normal, nor was it desirable or an example of a good democracy. This led him to realize that even a democratic government was fallible.
