- Westminster Main School
- Both girls notice how their fathers are hard working farmers who use their hands to cultivate the land and provide for their families. Their mothers use their hands for sewing, cooking, and braiding hair. Sylvia wonders why the color of her hands matters when she compares them to her cousins, who would would have been accepted to Westminster school because they looked more "white".
- The Munemitsus are imprisoned by the government simply for being of Japanese descent. The Mendez children are not allowed to go to the Westminster public school simply because they are of Mexican descent.
