Packet 8: Tossup 2

An unnamed family returns from one of these places to find their rosebush gone in a novel that ends with their father’s crazed confession. In 2024, Penguin Classics published an anthology of work from these places, whose editor has lauded Jeanne Houston’s memoir titled for a “Farewell” (15[1])to one. (15[1])After leaving one of these places (-5[1])and prison, a man has an (15[1])affair with Emi and sees Freddie (15[1])die in a car crash. In another novel, Father sends music exercises to his son Stephen while in one of these places, which Naomi learns from the (*) journals of her Aunt Emily. (-5[1])Novels about the aftermath (10[1])of life in these places include Julie (10[1]-5[1])Otsuka’s (10[2]-5[1])When (10[2])the (10[1])Emperor (10[1])Was Divine, (10[2])John Okada’s (10[3])No-No (10[1])Boy, (10[5])and Joy (10[1])Kogawa’s (10[4])Obasan. (10[6]-5[1])For 10 (10[1])points, the photo book Born Free and Equal by Ansel (10[1])Adams depicts a place of what (10[1])type called Manzanar? ■END■ (10[6])

ANSWER: Japanese-American internment camps [accept Japanese-American detention camps or Japanese-American concentration camps; accept “Japanese-Canadian” in place of “Japanese-American”; prompt on internment camps, detention camps, or concentration camps with “of what people?”; reject answers that mention “POWs” or “prisoners-of-war”]
