This picture of nursery school students singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is upsetting because of the adult also photographed. It captures the disturbing nature of exploiting children more than any of the other inmate during interment to create the feeling the government wanted to create. The children are perfectly happy to sing, and are clearly unaware of the photographer. But the teacher’s smile toward the camera is forced and uncomfortable. Her expression fills the picture with more than a nursery rhyme, and reminds the onlooker of the reality of the situation; her class of 4 year olds was considered an enemy of the United States military and government. “As Ishizuka writes, ‘When reflected in photographs, positive images of camp are found disturbing by outsiders. The camps look too nice; the inmates look too happy’” (Alinder, 15). Alinder quotes Ishizuka in her preface, and it is an undeniable observation of photographs from the time of internment. The adults photographed are so forced that the pictures are quite disturbing, like the teacher in this picture. Like all pictures of children, it was easy to capture their happiness without forcing smiles, but disturbingly takes advantage of their innocence to represent the interment differently than its reality.
