After these assignments analyzing “They call us enemy”, I was able to open my eyes and gain something very valuable; thankfulness. This book made me go through several emotions, and I bet it also made other readers feel the same way. But in the end, my ultimate take away from the experience that was reading this graphic novel, was to be thankful for so many aspects of my life as an American citizen. Yes, there are many racial issues occurring in the United States, but in the end, we see communities uniting just as we did when George and his family were being sent to the camps and had to create community there. Even recently, with the murder of Daunte Wright, we see communities of people from all different races, different religions, and even different countries coming together to fight injustices. I am glad to live in a time where my country is not involved in a world war and bomb drills aren’t being performed in schools. I’m thankful that horrifying events like people from my own community being sent to internment camps isn’t happening (Although I do recognize that there is also a crisis occurring at the border with immigration). I’m just thankful that my life hasn’t had to be as difficult as that or George’s family. It takes a different kind of strength to pull through that trauma, especially for his parents who had to endure seeing their own children suffer through unbearable conditions. This book really opened my eyes as to how ruthless your own government can be with law-abiding and patriotic citizens. When reading and learning about past events that have affected generations of a certain group, it makes one reflect and look back at one’s own history, to which then leads to thankfulness for change towards equality. And that is what I mostly took from this novel, what was your main emotion at the end of reading “They Call Us Enemy”?
