In Chapter 2 of Farewell to Manzanar (entitled 'Shikata Ga Nai'), the government decides the Japanese must move further away from Long Beach Naval Station in forty-eight hours, so the family must pack quickly. As Mama is packing, she finds that all of her china will not fit in Woody's car with all of the luggage and boxes. Mama had no choice but to sell her china. A dealer offered to pay fifteen dollars for Mama's china, which was worth at least two hundred dollars. Mama, in a fit of rage, took the dishes and hurled them to the floor, breaking them one by one.
