Haiku

of April begin school that year. In Japanese elementary school, students learn the same basic subjects: math, science, the Japanese language, and the arts. There are also a couple of arts specific to Japan that are taught: shodo (calligraphy) and haiku. Shodo is the act of dipping a brush in ink and writing various Japanese characters in an artistic style.

The attack on Pearl Harbor The ending of Kim’s another novella Burn after Reading (1962) that draws the code war between Japan and the U.S. also betrays the expectation of puzzler readers. There are two mysteries in this work. Captain of the 3rd Section (Intelligence Bureau) of the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff IDE who had engaged in espionage in Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor was caught and questioned by the U.S. military. At the interrogations a ciphertext on which “five-digit…

very short and is meant to emulate the historical four-character poetry of China. Although not exact, the poem is meant to be translatable into Chinese characters, with four-characters per line. In this poem, I wanted to write something similar to a haiku but Chinese in origin. This was included in the portfolio as it was a new style of poetry for me to write.…

sophistication of riddles as an art form. Instead of that there are instances to put forward in favour of their sophistication in terms of compactness of imagery, appropriateness of analogies and so on. For example one Persian riddle usually shared by Japanese Haiku: A lion’s thumb, a Godzilla’s jump, and ass’s cry ——Frog, or a blue napkin full of…

LCP: Primary Source Analysis Your analysis of the American author’s work(s) you selected will form the foundation of your research paper. Do not consult SparkNotes, Shmoop, etc. -- it’s obvious to me when you do, and I’m not interested in what lame internet sites say. I want to know what you think. To analyze anything, consider its function (purpose) and form (design), and how the function and form work together. To apply this to literary criticism: Ask yourself what purposes the author has…

I am a fan of reading and writing, I read in my free time and like to write. However as I’ve begun to take harder classes, gotten a job and been playing tennis, my free time has decreased and I haven’t written or read much. In previous years, including last year, I have written poems, short stories and read entire serieses in my free time. This may make it seem as though english should be my favorite subject but it is not. I like literacy, not english class, we do to much strict structure…

influenced my writing. I wanted detail and visuals, but tongue in cheek. There are a lot of sensory details in this poem, which is the literary term I used for this. Vows Do you say “I do”? Yes, I do, I do, I do Bless you! This poem is a modern haiku with the syllables, 5 7 2. I came up with this one when I was falling asleep, and I think it’s pretty funny. True Identity I look like a whale I am a whale! The true identity of Natalie Klassen is a whale lol jk, but truly, this is…

I can write about anything else. I can write about the similarities and differences between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. I can write about the use of Anglo-Saxon language in my favorite folk epic Beowulf. I can even write a haiku, you name it, the subject could range from Donald Trump’s hair to the hopeful return of Michael Phelps in Tokyo 2020. Anything at all. Yet, to ask me define myself is a daunting task because I am still trying to figure out who I am. I am envious of people that…

There have been many writing techniques presented to improve student’s literacy skills within content areas, such as summaries, quick writes, learning logs and journals (Alvermann, Gillis & Phelps, 2013; Robertson, 2015). However, there are many other techniques that lack presentation or recognition for being effective in improving content area literacies. One technique that is underrepresented is poetry (Seda, 2014). Poetry can be beneficial in improving content area literacies across…
