In the Presentation of Mr. David
Mura we could appreciate the ability and talent he possesses as a poet,
novelist, memoirist and performer to explore what it means to be
Japanese-American. Part of the introduction of his presentation was about the
language and culture. For him “there are two languages culture and race”. He
also said that “the impulse from literature comes from our need and desire to
express of we know unconsciously but we do not have the language to express and
so we have to create that language. A part that caught my attention was when
Mr. David Mura began to talk about the relationship that existed between the
people of Japan and United States because of immigration issues in 1924. In my
opinion I learned a lot with Mr. David Mura because I met about his life many
of his poems were about his personal life as he read to us about her
grandfather and grandmother and other poem called an Argument. I learned about
the meaning of Japanese Americans called No-No. Something interesting was that
he said once to his wife that do not call him “Japanese” or other kind of name
because he is an “American”person.
