  • No-No Boy Book Analysis

    1045 Words  | 3 Pages

    The last chapter of John Okada’s No-No Boy is an evaluation of Ichiro’s choice that shapes the story. Before the beginning of the novel, Ichiro chooses not to fight the Japanese as an American soldier, and, as a result, he spends two years in jail. Ichiro’s friend, Freddie, was also a “no-no boy” who refused to fight as an American soldier. Freddie also does his jail time. However, at the end of the novel, Freddie makes the decision to go to war in a different context, and he dies (with a strong comparison to Ichiro’s good friend Kenji, who also dies as a result of going to war). As Freddie and Ichiro had made the same choices up until the final scenes of the book, Freddie serves to represent the contrast between Ichiro’s choice (to abstain from fighting) and the decision he could have made (to go to war). Ultimately, Ichiro defends his people and is on his way to becoming fulfilled. The novel ends on an optimistic note as Ichiro feels validated by all of the difficult decisions he had made.

    In his story “Village 113” Anthony Doerr argues that pain is inevitable over time. A couple of examples that over time pain becomes inevitable are: Teacher Ke and the relationship between Li Qing and the seed keeper. Teacher Ke notices what is becoming of their village by noting: “They spread a truckload of soil in the desert and call it farmland? They take our river and give us bus tickets” (126)? Teacher Ke has a background with “the winter of weeds” where he only could eat weeds for sustenance for that winter (126). Doerr implies that with the culmination of their “world” being destroyed becomes a reality; desperate measures need to be taken to sanctify relations and belongings. As the construction of the dam continues, there is a sense of painful emotion to the fact that they are making villages migrate out of their homes and into the city where they are thrown with the little money they are given for their land. From the accounts of teacher Ke,
