If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Before Capture Mateo felt sad whenever he saw a charity shop. He hated that people cared about other things but that no-one cared enough to try to help save his sister. Through Capture Mateo feels as though he can make a difference. He feels less sad because he knows others care.
