  4. A Good Story “They going shoot anybody try go there …. Grampa was right. I should just be dutiful. I should be respectful and obey everything he says. Papa should beat you ….             But I was so close.             I crawled to a thicket of kiawe trees and studied what I could see of the white building. The whole island wasn’t that big, maybe a half mile long and a quarter wide. I inched closer, hiding behind the trees.             The weeds broke onto a sandy field riddled with puddles. And beyond that, the prisoner camp.” • Detailed • Emotional • Historically Relevant
