In "Farewell to Manzanar," Woody and Papa reach a compromise regarding Woody's enlistment in the U.S. Army. Initially, Papa is resistant to the idea due to his deep resentment towards the government for the internment of Japanese Americans. However, Woody ultimately convinces Papa that enlisting could help demonstrate loyalty and improve their community's standing, and they agree that Woody will join the Army while maintaining a sense of pride and dignity in their identity.
