Document Summary
Mr. kogawa"s argument is clearly one of a negative nature and she is contradicting the perceived notions that people had during that time based on the title of this newspaper article. It"s not how it was. this sends a very harsh yet clear message that the oppression that was taking place was not in fact grinning and happy, but rather the opposite. The rest of her story does an immaculate job at explaining this thesis. The fact that her thesis is generally in the former part of the text as opposed to the latter half gives the reader an almost conclusive sense and ties the whole story together with a last, definitive statement. When analyzing the structure of grinning and happy, mr. kogawa takes a inductive standpoint. One example is that she reserves her thesis for the end, as a conclusion to her evidence.
