No-No Boy starts with a broken Ichiro; he lacks a sense of
manhood, community, family, nation- no ego bc no way to
understand himself
Ichiro interacts with Mother → Kenji → Freddie → Emi → Mr.
Carrick → Gary
Bull has been reborn & Ichiro has been reborn- second chance is
the nature of rebirth
Nation: idea of identities
Hope: faint and elusive, unclear
Forgiveness: Ichiro forgives himself, others forgive Ichiro
Community: Ichiro put his hand on Bull’s shoulder, returns back
to his father whom he thought of as distasteful- wholeness
comes with reconstituting a relationship with those around us
who have constantly rejected us
Space clearing gesture- Okada has erased the broken stick
figure to a solid baby
Last paragraph is inconclusive; language- unsure of what the
future holds for Asian Americans
Okada questions Habermas’ idea by looking to the past instead
of the future to reconcile the present
Bull and Ichiro are both victims of this war but it’s more than
“love your brother”
Ichiro reconstitutes traditional notions of masculinity; able to walk
down alley on his own and reflect on what he wants to do-
freedom, agency
Manhood is fragile and constructed
