I saw Denise today in Geography class. She was sitting on the other side of the room. “You're trying to start a war,” she said, “giving secrets away to the Enemy, Why can't you keep your big mouth shut?” “In Response to Executive Order 9066: All Americans of Japanese Descent Must Report to Relocation Centers”, from Crossing With the Light by Dwight Okita. Copyright © 1992 by Dwight Okita. Tia Chucha Press, 1992, Chicago. What assumption is made about the speaker of the poem by Denise? Denise assumes that the speaker is innocent. Denise assumes that the speaker is the enemy.
