"When you have created a story . . . you can take with you and remember, then, you hasve a magic."
Bienvenido Santos' use of memory or, rather, a fictionalized memory evokes empathy for his characters. He had always been inside the character and felt their pain. He also believed that it is important for the writer to feel compassion for his characters. His way of writing acquire the perspective of local fiction and for us to be able to completely undestand the significant of our own history.

"The old world is dying, but a new world is being born. It generates inspiration from the chaos that beats upon us all. The false grandeur and security, the unfulfilled promises and illusory power, the number of the dead and those about to die, will charge the forces of our courage and determination. the old world will die so that the new world will be born with less sacrifice and agony on the liveing . . . " - from America is in the Heart
Carlos Bulosan as a national writer, played an important role in Philippine Literature. As I Started studying his life and works, I begin to appreciate his contribution in our history as a writer. His works became significant for it gives inspiration to everyone who will start reading his works. As an ordinary person whose position in life belongs to the majority, he set an example. He used his personal experiences in order to introduce the Philippines' culture, community, people and way of life. having him is a great priviledge.
