The Journal of Ben Uchida book review.

The Journal of Ben Uchida,a historical fiction novel by Barry Denenberg, is a very descriptive book about prejiduce against Japanese-Americans. The book takes place in an internment camp in the 1940's. There are four main charecters: Ben,Robbie,Ben's best friend,Naomi,Ben's sister, and Momma.
Ben Uchida is a 12 year-old Japanese-American. After the attacks on Pearl Harbor,Hawaii the American goverment thought that all people with Japanese or Japanese-American acestry were going to spy for the Japanese goverment. So Ben and his family were sent to an internment camp in Mirror Lake,and he explains how terrible it was. Anyone who reads this book will think it is very interesting because it explains what happened in a very descriptive way.The reader will like it because it is filled with many facts and details describing what life was like.Anyone who is willing to read a somewhat sad story will very much enjoy this book.

The Journal Of Ben Uchida

Have you ever been treated like dirt, because you were different, because of your nationality? If so, then you can relate to a young Japanese-American child, from the book, The Journal of Ben Uchida, by Barry Denenberg.
Ben Uchida didn't see himself different from anyone else. He was treated just as an American would be. Until the fateful day, when a bomb was dropped and Ben was considered the enemy.
This adventurous book about the pain and struggle of Japanese-Americans trying to survive the concentration camps, in California, is trying to send the message of being prejudice.
During the time span of the concentration camps, the organization put together a baseball team for the kids. Ben's team makes it all the way to the championship game, but one of his best friends blows the game, because he was getting paid. After that moment, Ben feels as though he can not trust anyone anymore.
If you decide to read this book, you will encounter the adventures of Ben and the rest of the Japanese-Americans during the time period of World War Two.
This book is one of my favorite historical-fictions. I think everyone should read this book just to get the perspective of what the Japanese had to go through. So sit down, take a couple of hours, and read the Journal of Ben Uchida.

good

i thought it was good, but i kept on puting it down because i could not keep on reading it for more then 10 min. at a time. (it's to boring). But i found something odd, it's the journal of Ben Uchida but in the pictures in the back on page 151 they have a picture of three boys, and if look at the middle boy you will see that he is in the exact same clothes, position and has the same face as the boy on the cover(they are the same). Which would be fine except for the fact that they call him....Bruce Sansui. So i wonder how researched this book is......
