Question

what theme is addressed in okitas poem \in response to executive order 9066\?
during world war ii, japanese americans were not the enemy.
for legitimate security measures, the us had to intern japanese americans.
japanese americans posed a serious risk to the security of the country.
japanese americans were extremely angered by their forced internment.

Explanation:

The poem "In Response to Executive Order 9066" by Okita addresses the unjust internment of Japanese - Americans during World War II. It challenges the idea that they were a threat. The poem shows the humanity and normalcy of Japanese - Americans, such as the speaker's experience of wanting to take her friend home for dinner. This implies that they were not the enemy.
The option "For legitimate security measures, the US had to intern Japanese Americans" is incorrect as the poem critiques the internment. The option "Japanese Americans posed a serious risk to the security of the country" is contrary to the poem's message. While Japanese Americans were angry (as in the option "Japanese Americans were extremely angered by their forced internment"), the main theme is about their non - enemy status.

Answer:

During World War II, Japanese Americans were not the enemy.
