Junot Diaz Treflection

JuJunot Diaz Reflection From what I had previously read and heard from about Junot Diaz, I expected the typical speaker that usually stops by our campus tall male, dressed in a suite, with a charming personality. Knowing he was a Hispanic author I felt like I would be uncoered to nothing new during his readings or presence for that matter ( seeing as how being from Colombia and have had a lot of exposure to Hispanic authors).This straight off changed as a couple classmates and I got together to walk over to Sorenson Hall, and, as I we were walking to the auditorium, plant multiple students heading to the same(p) even but not because their curriculum required it but instead because they were so intrigued to hear him speak. Obviously, this triggered my own interest in what this author, that I in the beginning found so predictable, had to hypothesise. From the moment he set foot on the stage to when he said goodbye, I was intrigued.Diaz evoked a routine atmosphere d sensation cursing and joking he made the congregation feel comfortable. What I found most interesting was how he explained the contrasting views between him and his family and how looked negatively it seemed for him to become an artist. He also explained multiple aspects about the cultural differences, and talked about the concepts of trading your culture he explained how crazy it is to pass water at our age that everyones dreams arent your dreams.I agreed with everything he had to say and I found the way he evoked his opinions, through unconcerned conversation and a comical tone, to be very effective. What I found most interesting though, is how he compared writing to an art form which says the rack people dont want to hear. As he was talk about this topic, I couldnt help but compare his genius of writing to that of graffiti art. He holds a rebellious attitude towards participation that makes his writing appealing.Attending this reading taught me much about the topic of learning by m aking mistakes. My whole life, Ive been raised thinking that mistakes shouldnt occur, and the occurrence that he mentioned that one should take time out to learn through failure and making mistakes caught my attention immediately. Attending Diazs reading has been one of the most interesting things Ive experience while at Babson and I know that when I type the last sentence of this reflection I am buying logging on to amazon and buying his book.
