The Buddha in the Attic

They did a great job including the history of picture brides and the subsequent Japanese internment. They connected the novel to its history in a way that was engaging and interesting,

What I learned:
- Picture brides were deceived by photos of handsome young men
- After being married, they are exploited
- Mass removal of Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor bombing -- completely rejected by rest of population

Questions/Comments:
Good job!
