What is the effect of using a fourteen-year-old girl as the narrator in “In Response to Executive Order 9066”? In terms of impact, how does this differ than in might with her father as the narrative voice?
Using the fourteen-year-old girl as the narrator in “In Response to Executive Order 9066” gave this period in history that is being discussed a quality of innocence. From the tone of the girl’s voice, the reader can hear her confusions as to why her “best friend” of many years has now turned on her for no other reason than that of her heritage. If an adult would have been the narrator the tone would most likely not have been as confused but more of anger at the treatment that they had received.
