Interpret - Sone says the camp "was hopefully called camp harmony." Do you think the name is appropriate, or is it ironic? Support your answer with eveindece form the text.
I think that it's definately ironic.
The camp is similar to concentration camps, and that has no harmony whatsoever.
It has no freedom, no happiness amongst those who are watching over them.
It has wired-fences; that and guards standing guard twenty-four/seven.
Everything seems to be forced. "At ten o'clock, he rapped at the door again, yelling 'Lights out!' and Mother rushed to turn the light off not a second later."
The people there rush to do the order, for they are afraid of the consequences.
There is no privacy in the camp. "The partitino wall separating the room was only seven feet high, with an opening of four feet at the top."
The place has a lack of space and resources. "Lunch consisted of two canned sausages, one lob of boiled potato, and a slab of bread. Our family had to split up, for the hall was too browded for us to sit together."
So much for harmony when you can't even enjoy eating, or eating without getting squished for that matter. "Even as I thrust myself into the breach, the space had shrunk to two inches, but I worked myself into it."
I think the name of the camp is like that because the people running it just want to lower the worries of the people being evacuated. Not that they care, but maybe because they are locking up their own people, they need to at least show others that they are trying to be nice. But behind that name, lay the total opposite.

Ryan says (he can't post it): I agree with joe, i like the way you supported every idea that you made, it really help to strengthen your opinion. To me, Harmony is a very ironic name too.
