Journal 6
The ending of Carlos Bulosan's America is in the Heart is very long winded and concluded the story on a poor note. Bulosan's constant rhetorical questions and repetitive writing drown out the actual story. I disconnected with the story because Bulosan abandoned the innocent principles of right and wrong and got into talking about himself too much. To be honest, I was forcing myself to finish the book. I found the video on the International Hotel much more interesting and had a more realistic touch to it. Unlike the end of Bulosan's book, I kept interest and found it still pertinent all the way through.
