Faye KIM RONYOUNG from Clay Walls Diane Chongmin Kim Sacrifice aye! Have you heard?" "Heard what?" "The Japs bombed Pearl Harbor!" "What? Where's Pearl Harbor?" It must be somewhere in the Far East, I thought. "Hawaii. It means war for the United States. Everyone's talking about it. Where have you been?" "Right here," I said, remembering I left the house before Momma had turned on the radio. "What do you mean, war?" "Just what I said, war. A sneak attack. Typical of the waenom, isn't it?" The week's Bible lesson fell on deaf ears as everyone tried to comprehend what being at war meant. Afterwards, we stood outside the church and talked about Pearl Harbor, saying things like, "Those stupid Japs," "Punks dropping bombs on the u.s.," "The Americans will sink the `rising sun' so fast it'll be over before we know it." We didn't notice the car slowing down along the curb where we stood. "Hey!" a man yelled from the car. We turned to see what he wanted. The brown-haired, blueeyed man made sure his three companions were paying attention before he growled at us. "You stinkin' Japs. Go back where you came from!"

Abstract

KIM RONYOUNG from Clay Walls Diane Chongmin Kim Sacrifice aye! Have you heard?" "Heard what?" "The Japs bombed Pearl Harbor!" "What? Where's Pearl Harbor?" It must be somewhere in the Far East, I thought. "Hawaii. It means war for the United States. Everyone's talking about it. Where have you been?" "Right here," I said, remembering I left the house before Momma had turned on the radio. "What do you mean, war?" "Just what I said, war. A sneak attack. Typical of the waenom, isn't it?" The week's Bible lesson fell on deaf ears as everyone tried to comprehend what being at war meant. Afterwards, we stood outside the church and talked about Pearl Harbor, saying things like, "Those stupid Japs," "Punks dropping bombs on the u.s.," "The Americans will sink the `rising sun' so fast it'll be over before we know it." We didn't notice the car slowing down along the curb where we stood. "Hey!" a man yelled from the car. We turned to see what he wanted. The brown-haired, blueeyed man made sure his three companions were paying attention before he growled at us. "You stinkin' Japs. Go back where you came from!" Alice and I
