Journal 67: Betrayal


In the essay/poem we discussed about in the class, the little Japanese girl friendship got messed up by world war two, therefore abandoning her in her most depressed time, and thus betraying them. The American girl accuses the Japanese of starting the world war two and also of them telling secrets to the Japanese. The girl responded by giving her seeds and tell her shell miss her when the tree is fully grown, the girl will miss the Japanese. I think what she means is that by the time the tree si fully grown, she would have realized that the Japanese girl is innocent and the whole thing is a folly to blame it on innocent citizens just because they are Asian. I think it is a very effect response, because its all like wise words and stuff , short of like what a kung fu master will say, perhaps yoda will say this as well, but with very poor grammer.
       I have been betrayed before. I told a friend before a secret and went to play basketball, by the time I got back, the whole school year know about the secret. It was quite embarrassing and my friends called his toher friends and mocked me and try to start a fight on yahoo messenger. I really don’t understand what is going on until much later.
