Camp Harmony Critical Thinking

6) Analyze- Sone says the camp "was hopefully called Camp Harmony." Do you think the name is appropriate, or is it ironic? Support your answer with evidence from the text

I think that the name of the camp, ‘Camp Harmony’ is appropriate for it, because this section of the author autobiography is talking about the camp they were forced to go to. Talking about it people had different thoughts than what they had expected, so I think it would be appropriate for it. Harmony means calm and peaceful, so people thought where they are going to will be very peaceful.

For example, the universe students on the bus were singing out loud to celebrate where they are going. “Everyone was quiet except for a chattering group of university students who soon started singing college songs. A few people turned and glared at them, which only served to increase the volume of their singing.”

For another example, the people that were being forced were excited at first, and it should be what the section suppose to talk about, the mood of people. “We tried to sleep to escape from the restless anxiety which kept bobbing up to the surface of our minds.” The excitement kept coming until they had stepped out of the bus.
