Answer 2

Answer:

Character sketch of Aunt Emily:

Explanation:

• Aunt Emily is a sharp, vivacious woman who tirelessly advocates for Japanese Canadians. She is adamant about the value of confronting the past and engaging with it through discussion, analysis, protest, and understanding. Her entire conference-going, letter-writing, and data-gathering strategy is based on the notion that only by comprehending the past can we let go of our resentment over previous errors and so stop others and ourselves from making the same mistakes.
• She is a passionate woman who genuinely cares about her family and their happiness. Her knowledge and interest in the world she lives in are both admirable.
• However, her passion with documenting the past and her lobbying attempts are met with profound ambivalence. There are hints that Emily wasn't in the trenches with Obasan and Uncle, or Father and Mother, and that she may not fully understand how terrible it is for other people to recall their wartime memories. Nevertheless, Emily saw plenty of horrific scenes throughout the war.
