The review by /Granddaddy/ nailed it on the head. The author tries to write this from a narrative historical perspective but fails when he superimposes modern societal values/ideas over his main character. 'Way to many examples to cite, and none worthy of the time to detail it all. Granddaddy's evaluation is good enough.The author should do MUCH more research into the Japanese culture and society. Page 29: "She was supposed to be called Rocky, but no one in my family could say that word. LOCKY was the best they could do. So I changed it to Lucky." --This is SO *WRONG!!* and indicative of the author's meager understanding of Japanese culture and society. The Japanese can't pronounce Ls and Vs--it's the Chinese who can't pronounce the Rs (and Vs). "I rike to eat sarami sandwiches when I watch terebision." would be the "Japanese" pronunciation of "I like to eat salami sandwiches when I watch television." Salisbury's pidgin Japanese-English is degrading in its' "imitation-Asian" accented English.Dropping a few Japanese phrases doesn't add any validity either to his characterizations when it's blatantly obvious he spent minimal time investigating his subject.Salisbury titles one chapter "Shikata Ga Nai". Literally it translates to just what he wrote: "it can't be helped". But there's an attitude; a melancholy regret in the cultural expression--it's not meant like the French phrase--"C'est la guerre (, n'est pas?)."-- a dismissive "can't be helped"/ unavoidable circumstance. This is indicative of the author's lack of understanding, or at least his faux projection of "genuine" cultural inferences. No one I know would *ever* use "shigata ga nai" as a remark about the events of December 7 nor its' consequences (*especially* from the Japanese-homeland view, as the author's "Grandpa" expresses in the book)."Shigata ga nai" attaches regret, a sadness and an "opportunity cost" along with a resigned attitude to a circumstance, not an event; the whole chapter reads as if the narrator is experiencing and evaluating an action/event and its' consequences; that's not "shigata ga nai".
Tomi liked to play baseball at diamond grass. The field shone like diamonds when the dewdrops sparkled in the morning sun. Tomi found refuge there, away from the chaos of life in Honolulu.Mama knew all about chaos. She’d fled the poverty of Japan by becoming a picture bride, sailing to Honolulu to marry a sugarcane worker she’d never met. Her future husband was killed in a gambling fight, leaving Mama stranded in a fisherman’s hut. Papa heard her story and claimed her for his own.Grampa loved Japan. He took great pride in his enormous Japanese flag, washing it with care and leaving it hanging to dry in the open air. When Tomi came home and saw it waving in the breeze, he was rattled. “Grampa! Take that thing down!†In 1941, Japanese were not always welcome on the streets of Hawaii.One Sunday morning, Tomi and his friend Billy were playing ball when clouds of smoke spiraled into the sky. Explosions rocked Pearl Harbor. Tomi was shocked to see amber planes emblazoned with a blood-red sun. Japanese planes were bombing his home!As the Japanese warplanes bombarded the coast, Papa was out fishing in his sampan. American forces opened fire on every ship without an American flag. Papa took a bullet to his leg, and was hauled away to Sand Island. Within days, a black car arrived at Tomi’s home. Two huge men had come for Grampa. They covered Grampa’s mouth as he screamed, and shoved Tomi into the weeds.Hatred for Japan surged across the island. Japanese fathers were arrested or killed, leaving their children to fend for themselves. Mama was fired. Tomi’s family was watched with open suspicion. Tomi knew the day had come to lead his family, long before he was ready, with enemies on every side.Under the Blood-Red Sun provides a riveting view of what Japanese Americans endured at the time of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Loyalties were tested to the extreme as military and volunteer brigades strung barbed wire around the schools and excavated bomb shelters in public parks. As he strives to free his innocent father, Tomi is incredibly brave, facing angry guards and cruel soldiers who would not hesitate to shoot him. In the midst of all the hostilities, bold friends bring Tomi gifts of love and hope that brighten his days of fear.Graham Salisbury has received numerous awards for his work, including the Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction, the Library of Congress Notable Children’s Book of the Year, and the Best Books for Young Adults (American Library Association).--Kate Calina
The historical portion of the book was fascinating. However; in the personal/interpersonal portion showed a bias on the part of the author. He drapes the story in the WWII era but follows many others into the politically correct understanding of interpersonal relations which seek "a perfect life" for every child without the failures, hurts, and adventures that have built character in generations of Americans who dared much and achieved much.
I really enjoyed reading this book with my children. We read it as part of our school curriculum. It was interesting to read from the perspective of a child going through the terrible times in Hawaii during World War II. I ran the gamut of emotions while reading this and that, to me, is indicative of a well-written book. I highly recommend it to anyone who reads chapter books, young or not, who is also interested in military history or American history.
Having lived thru the air raids and bombing, this book brought back memories and touched on the prejudices against Asians (then we were called Orientals) at the time. Asians couldn't move into certain sections of Honolulu until after the war ended and a lot of the haoles (Caucasians) moved back to the mainland (continental USA). Also know the parents,(the Matshyoshi's), of the lead actor, so it made viewing the film more personal.
Live in Hawaii and have read many novels about Pearl Harbor and the history of the islands. Yet I found this book interesting because it is told basically from the perspective of the youth who witnessed the Japanese attack and the aftermath including the effects upon lives, friendship, and relationships. This story is being made into a movie which I am looking forward to seeing.It is definitely worth reading.
