novel story - No-No Boy, a novel Asian

No-No Boy John Okada is a "historical" fiction for a Nisei, or first generation Japanese-American writing, approved in the period shortly after the Second World War. Okada words paint a generally gloomy, misty image of a young Nisei named Ichiro, who at home after a prison term of two years for refusing to fight in the war against the Japanese. What I find embarrassing about his refusal, Muhammad Ali was not his punishment, but he went against the faith of his heart that America is worth fighting for a place themselves.
Okada call his own experience as a U.S. military history contains many situations that the war has the country and the Japanese treatment of their most important concern in America, most of which are obviously undesirable. Ichiro spends the whole story pondering his cowardice and his family wishes were more Americanized. By not fighting, we learn that his mother reassured him piss broader: It is the crazy idea that put Japan won the war. To make matters worse, his father watches passively his younger brother left the family, the army itself, perhaps because of the failure to join Ichiro own.
Ichiro is stubborn, depression usually ignore self-inflicted help (maybe he is not to take in the situation) will help, even if her kisses on the mouth (Emi, the "widow" freedom fighters) or the promises of his friendship (Kenji, his companion dead war vet). But this inevitably always hope Okada, Ichiro meetings with those whose hearts have been wounded in the war. This is blurry mass despair in life opportunities abound and Ichiro future is as fast as a American state of mind is still subject of fairness for those who seek him with all heart and keep it. As Ichiro is neither Japanese nor American, No-No Boy is sad and inspiring.
