The Asian American Literature has a long term of influence on the quality of living among the people. Several myths of mobility are inscribed within the American and Asian histories of literature. Generally, literature is an ancient undertaking that has been taking place in the world. The origin of the American literature can be taken as an example of many literature developments that have been experienced in the world. Modern literature can be classified into different forms and classification, all based on the nature of the original modes of the literature. In the recent past, many writers have come out in full strength and explored on what entails the Asian American literature. Much limelight has been brought to the surface because of the expertise and much attributes brought by the active literature writers in the United States of America and Asia as a continent. According to Wong, she claims that much of the literature work circulates between Asia, America, and the rest continents in the world (Wong 45). This is due to the fact that literature forms part of the people’s lifestyle and makes them feel part of the community. Each and every group has their own culture and beliefs and this makes part of their literature trend virtually different to some extent. Recognition is actually building between the world literature and the Asian American literature. According to many writers who are based in different parts of the world, intense writing is what has turned out to be a strong contributor in thriving Asian American literature. It is becoming a global hit with many readers coming out in large numbers to claim the essence of this literature.
The nature and quality of living among many writers has turned out to be favorable to those who are dealing with Asian American literature other than literature from the other parts of the world. Literature is all about the quality and nature that people live. Literature plays many functions within the society. Because of the different roles and applications that literature has on the functionalism of humanity, it has gained much reputation in many societies in the world. Therefore, it would be easy to note the nature and quality of literature in any given place. In order to have a natural perception of the quality of living, studying, and the urgency to impart knowledge and skills to the people, many writers have desired to write on exactly what takes place among the people. When we study the Asian American literature, it becomes vivid that the nature of living, humanity and human intentions all contribute to the nature of literature in that place. For instance, the birth of the Asian American literature can be dated back to the Mesopotamian living that was common among many people in the world. Therefore, it becomes something like a morality to have literature preceding every activity that takes place amongst the people (Morantte 67). The way of living is explored through literature. With the expansion of this knowledge, it has become a possibility to have different societies fighting to stay clued to their traditional cultures and way of living.
The Asian American literature has not taken root without much negative respects. Questions of misreading and appropriation come on the rise. It becomes difficult to understand how literature from Asia and America can come together to form a tradition. Such questions points to the magnitude at which writers have expanded their level of commitment and expertise in order to understand, and even combine literature from various parts of the world. It is possible to study and conclusively understand literature from one region of the world, and mostly those dealing with one set of the people. There is no possible manner in which one can just erupt and combine literature from different parts of the world without having to study at the expanse of the field of literature as done in the Asian American literature. What holds the Asian American literature together is yet to be realized among the writers and readers of these literature materials. Moreover, it becomes a big huddle to understand how literature from different regions can come together and form a tradition that becomes universal and practical among the people from these regions. There must be a significant figure that differentiates this literature from the other literature materials from the world. The canons and precepts that form the Asian American literature must be of some kind different from those of literature from the other regions of the world. There are other different mainstream canons and minority literatures that are practical in different regions in the world. With clear exploration in this agenda, there will likely be a great need to engage a multicultural setting that implicates the effects of traditions in the world (Wong 56).
The desire to explore more on the need for a strong Asian American literature has insinuated several parameters of study that touch on different traditions and customs in the world. Such traditional studies have centered along the American and Asian literature as mainstreamed in the nature and quality of life among the people. There is more to consider within the literature of the world, and those of the mainstreamed canons in our daily societies. Earlier researchers explored that it is not an easy task to explore traditions of a given region or people without having to interact with them. This means that for the success of the Asian American literature, there must be an interaction of the two literatures, with the people involved giving out feedback from the ground.
Establishing an intersexuality concept of the Asian American literature demands a lot of study that relates literature from the regions under study. In order to have a firm foundation of the concepts that resulted in the creation of the Asian American literature, there is need to have a text-by-text examination of the literature from the two regions, without considering any bias. Nonetheless, it is useless to try to explore the texts that have been written without making a firm consideration of the components of life and human behaviors that result in these literatures. For instance, the mode of eating in the United States of America has a lot of influence on the literature that will be written by the Americans. On the other hand, the nature of cooking in Asia has a greater influence on the nature and depth of literature from the people who have had a vast knowledge and experience of living with such methodologies of cooking. In such a case, an interaction between these two canons of literature requires an interaction of the people who comes from both sides of the study fields. Apart from the fact that it is important to consider the influence of the people from both sides of the study, what needs to be understood is to have a genuine study that reveals the exact matters that indicate a relation and ultimate connection and strength of the Asian American literature.
The study of the Asian American literature has undertaken a number of parameters. Food and eating forms part of the parameters that stands solid in definition of the Asian American literature. Food and eating generate lifestyles that become common and universal among the people of the United States of America and Asia. The mobility of literature as indicated earlier in the study resonates around the concepts of literature like food and eating styles among the regions studies (Wong 24). The systems of play form several basic parameters that try to define a solid foundation between the minority literature and the Asian American literature. The basic tenets of establishing any tradition and literature in a place are through thorough study of its socio-historical tenets, and hence having a review of them in a new format of writing. The Asian American literature has occurred across several ethnic groups, regions, and historical backgrounds that have had sense in the past. Therefore, the food and eating styles stand as one of the basic parameters of performance that were used by the scholars who invented and succeeded the initiatives of the Asian American literature.
Another aspect of development in the Asian American literature is the aspect of gender, class, generational, and historical boundaries. Several gender differences are sparked by literature that seeks to have a valuable understanding of the people of a place. In many cases, the aspect of gender is used as a universal understanding since it is a common characteristic in the whole world. Scholars who must have had a thorough study of the Asian American literature must have mastered aspects of relation, understanding, and operation of the different genders in the Asian and American societies. Class refers to the style of living that many people have valued as their basic source of confidence and pride. In the Asian countries, there are specifications that indicate and differentiate one class from the other. The hierarchies of living are established by the social characteristics in terms of wealth, careers, and many other generational features. Classification of the people indicates a difference in their kind of literature it was meant to be. It would not be easy to have a classification and a particular difference in the culture of the people if it were not for scholars to identify the people who belong to the different classes. Many writers, of who are parts of the Asian American literature developers, develop interest to write upon the differences in classes that exist in the society (Bulosan and Juan 67-87). Therefore, the difference in the classes of living spurs growth, development, and writing amongst the writers in the modern world. The necessity of mobility, as indicated by the book, is a controversial aspect that demands a lot of respect and understanding from the writers before any comparison is done among the people.
Without having much consideration of the fact that every literature has a basement, it becomes important to study what the people like in terms of the different respects of classes at present. Studying and differentiating the Asian and American classifications of the people demands a lot of respect and time from the individual classes. Therefore, the world literature must have also had an influence in the growth and development of the Asian American literature (Wong 42). When a close study is done among the Africans, Americans, Asians, and many other people, there is a pertinent generational format or style of living that is realized among the people. The people of a particular place have an influence on the generational characteristics that are worth writing. The aspect of writing on literature does not just emanate from everywhere. Spurred by the necessity of writing and mobility in the Asian American literature, the writers had to consider the importance and need to have a literature that will reflect the living conditions and future prospects that exists between the Asian and American countries. Asia is a different nation from America. The countries that have been established in these regions or places have different factors that differentiate them, and those, which put them together. The close ties of relation between these regions are founded particularly in the quality of living among the people, the economic activities, and the social structures that indicate future trends of living.
There are historical boundaries between the United States of America and all the Asian countries. These nations have boundaries that indicate their expanse, activities, potential, and plans. The physical boundaries between these nations can be detected by the nature of living among the people of these places. In order to have a frequent and strong affirmation of the boundaries between any two nations, there is need to exercise the aspect of putting in writing whatever happens in the region. Therefore, the close boundaries between these two nations have resulted in what is termed as the Asian American literature. The motifs related to the characteristics difference between these nations, cannot even be explored through theory explored by the Asian American literature. Theories have to be exercised within the concept of understanding these characteristics in order to affirm the need to have a clear understanding of all the factors of growth and development within these regions.
The independence and separation of the American nations from those of the Asian has a lot to offer to the immediate society apart from the Asian American literature. What is really in the politics of mobility? Anyone can write a story based on a simple understanding of the regions studied. In the ancient society, as in America, it was possible to have a regular update of the nature and intent of living other than having to get out of the region and have a study of the other regions. The American discourse of living, culture, politics, and lifestyle, cannot be captured by simple studying of the nature of living among a sample of people. The horizontal movements across the North American continent have indications of independence, freedom, social renewal, challenges, opportunities for a better living, and even extravagance that brings satisfaction and joy to the people of this region. Therefore, there is much to the nature of mobility among the people other than just having a conclusive understanding of the Asian American literature. In most cases, this mobility is subjected to impossibility, fulfillment of self or community necessities, and coercion amidst subjugation. Such trends of understanding bring out the demand of mobility that tries to make it a necessity in the society (Wong 45-56).
Considering the United States of America as a superior nation has made many people to have a dream to get to this nation. Many would die to get to the United States of America. In some situations, the sovereignty of the United States of America demands a lot of study that many would wish to be included in its writing. The basic concepts of understanding the American culture is driven by the perceived need for extravagance and elegance that goes along with being American. By the time a person realizes that he or she is American, he, or she would have acquired the chance to write about “our America” and not “our Asia.” Such perceptions help to comprehend the desire for justice and mobility in the cultural movements and differences between these nations in different formats of understanding. War is one of the many simples of simplicity as applied in the Asian American literature. Without war, it would be difficult to have a clear understanding of the need to have a generous nation that built reputation from what the people perceive as solidarity of the nations. The Asian American literature does not have to be strong in order to survive the strong winds of opposition in its course. The politics of mobility offer a huge step into finding a clear format of living that tries to trend the nature of relation between the American and the Asian nations together with all of their characteristics.
The literature writing from most of the American writers can be anticipated to have a generalized view of the quality of living among these people. There is much reputation and concern of the American people other than what actually takes place in such societies. For instance, the necessity for mobility within the Asian American literature can be inspired by what takes place between the Americans and the Asians. In the end, there will develop a character of understanding that will try to portray a certain level of understanding between these nations, and hence secure a practical matter of getting to the ideas of culture and literature. What becomes certain in most aspects of living is the fact that most Americans write about the “beautiful” and “our” America they know. On the other hand, not so many Asians have taken ground in trying to explore what takes place between these nations. For instance, most people would love to be American in citizenship, after which they will be able to write what transpires in the United States of America and not any other nation as compared to what was taking place in Asia (Bulosan 34). The significance of mobility within the Asian American literature is perceived to have a lot of influence on how many people would want to be associated with the living in many states and not in some states. With an evolution of people who prefer to be citizens of more than one nation has led to the origination of the true partners and writers to the Asian American literature. Literature is the basic quality of living among many people in some places. Nonetheless, it has exclusive importance to the future trends of living as generated in the two separate nations. Therefore, it would be simple to state that there is a huge connection between the Asian and the American literature that has led to the birth and thrive of the Asian American literature.
