Read the passage from Farewell to Manzanar.

Mama and Woody went to work packing celery for a Japanese produce dealer. Kiyo and my sister May and I enrolled in the local school, and what sticks in my memory from those few weeks is the teacher—not her looks, her remoteness. In Ocean Park my teacher had been a kind, grandmotherly woman who used to sail with us in Papa’s boat from time to time and who wept the day we had to leave. In Boyle Heights the teacher felt cold and distant. I was confused by all the moving and was having trouble with the classwork, but she would never help me out. She would have nothing to do with me.

This was the first time I had felt outright hostility from a Caucasian.

What inference can you make based on this passage?

Farewell to Manzanar

The author was put into a school with a less effective teacher.

The author is becoming withdrawn and difficult because she moves so often.

The author had not encountered many Caucasian people before this event.

The author experiences discrimination because she is Japanese American.

The narrator shows that at her new school the teacher was very different from the teacher who taught her at the previous school. The previous teacher was not indifferent, she liked to have contact with her and treated everyone with kindness.

The new teacher, on the other hand, treated her harshly and didn't help her study because he didn't want to have contact with her.

As the narrator showed no signs of hostility towards the teacher, we can consider that she was suffering from xenophobia because she was Japanese-American.
