       In this weeks section, Joe is still in the concentration camp and there is talk about the war. He and his brother start and finish school and have their birthday at the beginning of the new school year. Joe meets some of his friends from back home like Mae and Phillip. His brother, Mike, is told at school one day that he can join the Nesei army with parent permission because he is seventeen. Later on throughout the camp, everyone learns that if you are 17 or older, you have to answer a questionnaire about your loyalty to Japan and America. Joe's grandma answers "no" to a question asking if she is loyal to Japan or America. Her explanation is that she is not a citizen to America but she doesn't want to go back to Japan, she says she would rather have a country to go back to than no country at all. Joe's mom and Mike both answer "yes" and are concerned about what might happen to their grandma. After the questionnaire, Phillip isn't allowed to talk to Joe because Phillip's are making him speak only Japanese. The other people at other camps who answered "no" to the same question were moved to Joe's camp. They are referred to as the No-Nos and are causing lots of trouble throughout the camp. Mike ends up going of to the army and his family isn't very happy about it. It section ends with Mike and Joe having a birthday, followed by Mike leaving for the army.
