...testified that your husband came to see him on the date to inquire about purchasing seven acres of his land, the strawberry land you mentioned” (Guterson 274).The land was owned by the murdered man and was being punched by Kabuo the accused man. Therefore, many can come to a say that they were only accused because they had some relation to that person. Durning the case, the verdict wrongly accused O.J Simpson and Kabuo Miyamto of murder. Kabuo was Japanese and was taught to kill with a kendo, a large stick, at a young age. While they were searching the body of the murdered man, Carl, they found a wound that looked as though it could have been from a Japanese kendo. Chapter fire tells about the investigation of the murdered man Carl. “He got hit pretty hard with something fairly flat, Art. Puts me in mind of a type of gun butt wound I saw a few times in the war. One of those kendo sticks the Japs used” (Guterson 43). Just because Kabuo was Japanese they accused him of hitting Carl with a kendo, still not being completely positive that it was that. He could have gotten hit by the boat when falling over board. O.J Simpson was accused because he had many evidence that was lead back to him. A pair of gloves was found on the scene and one of the gloves was found behind O.J Simpson house. According to Jason McDonald on Guora, the investigation of O.J Simpson was long and many things surprised people, “Surprise, surprise... O.J. could’t get the glove on, and the prosecution's best piece...

...Samurai and Knights DBQ Imagine two places in different parts of the world doing almost exactly the same thing and none of them know of the customs. This is what happened in Europe and Japan with their armor,codes,and the feudal society. “Knighthood lies above eternity; it doesn't live off fame, but rather deeds”(OI). The similarities between the knights and samurai can be seen in their armor,training, and the feudal society of both Europe and Japan. First of all, the armor of the knights and samurai was similar. In both cases, it was used to protect the body (Doc.D). They both had helmets that covered the whole face (Doc.D).The samurai and the knights had their armor made out of 8 to 12(Doc.D). The weapons were similar too they both use...

...Two of the similarities was that both the warriors started their training at a young age and they trained with wooden weapons. In the first and second excerpt of Document C the author writes, “The rigorous training (of samurai)...began in childhood…[A] prospective knight’s training [began at age four or five] with learning to ride a pony.” Being a knight or a samurai must have been really serious because the warriors start training at a very young age. They spent so most time of their childhood training to fight for the ruler. Samurais and knights had similar training even though they were so far apart in the world. Both of these warriors started learning the basics of being a knight or samurai. There were both women knights and samurai, but...

...Bushido, essay #1 Marjorie S. G Have you ever wondered what it was like in medieval Japan? Do you have the answer to it? Well it doesn’t matter, i’ll tell you stuff such as the code of conduct, and what virtues are. Samurai followed a strict code of conduct, this is called bushido, this provides guidelines for all aspects of life. Bushido is a mixture of two Japanese words, bushi, which means ‘’warrior,’’ and do which means ‘’way’’ this means ‘’the way of the warrior.’’ The Asian religions of confucianism, Zen Buddhism, and Shinto had a strong influence on Bushido code. The virtues were courage, respect, honesty, honor, loyalty, rectitude or doing what is morally correct, and benevolence or desire to help others. Discipline...

...All About Japan "A land of incredible diversity: modern yet steeped in custom; home of the friendliest of welcomes. A country of blazing neon lights and rugged mountains, coasts and valleys." Japan has a fascinating and multifaceted culture; on the one hand it is steeped in the deepest of traditions dating back thousands of years; on the other it is a society in a continual state of rapid flux, with continually shifting fads and fashions and technological development that constantly pushes back the boudaries of the possible. It could therefore be said that Japan is a country of stark contradictions and is in part this that makes it such a fascinating country to visit and unique tourist destination. If you are looking for something different you are sure to find it here! People One people, one race? Japanese people appear at first glance to be one of the most socially and ethnically homogenous groups in the world. It is reasonable to equate Japan’s rapid post-war economic development to the 1990s with social solidarity and conformism. Despite labour shortages since the 1960s, authorities resisted officially sanctioning foreign workers until the 1980s, relying on increased mechanization and an expanded female workforce instead (1). Until recently, Japanese workers have associated themselves primarily with the company they work for – a businessman will introduce himself as ‘Nissan no Takahashi-san’ (I am Nissan’s Mr Takahashi). By extension, we might get the idea that a Japanese...

My parents and sister since my birth have impacted my life the most and still continue to influence my present life. My parents, who are of Korean descent, immigrated to America in 1982. They gave birth to me 10 years later and instilled in me most of my good and poor qualities that make up who I am today.

...differently. To start off, samurai were given the honor of their job from being part of a generation of samurai. This meaning that a samurai’s father, or grandfather would have already been a samurai, and would need to pass it on to a son or a male relative (Document C ). Now, the enrollment of knights was highly distinct from the samurai, in fact, the job of a knight was given to any Male in their territory just on voluntary permission. Of course, both did needed to train and grow with powers before actually becoming their official job. Finally, the training and upbringing of a samurai and knight was much different. According to ( Document C ), Samurai started their training using the art of fencing with bamboo sticks, which is called kendo. They were taught early about poetry and spiritual discipline about life. The biggest difference among this topic, is a man was eligible to become a full samurai at a japanese traditional ceremony called the Genpuku. ( Document C ) In Europe, Knights were not eligible to become a official knight until the age of 21. Although, knights were able only to become a squire at the early age of 14 years old. Then the knights were then having to always accompany their master knight and help the sir with numerous things. To conclude, Knights and samurai were both huge defenders of their empires. They defended their territories until death was brought to them. So… did the similarities outweigh the differences? To me, No. that is why i provided extreme...

...Now in America we eat foods I’ve never known about, but I think most of I tastes good. Like French fries, hamburgers, and steak. I was surprised when I tried their food here. To me it didn’t look like what we eat in Japan. Sports in Japan are different then here in America. In Japan we have sports like Sumo, Kendo, Karate, Judo, and my favorite baseball. Back home me and my dad would play baseball almost every day. In America they have baseball just like we did back in Japan, but they also have other sports like basketball, football, hockey, and soccer. When kids from my school were playing football one day I was watching them. I didn’t understand one thing that they did. When they saw me I just walked away because I was afraid they would see me. Since I’ve been in America the only part of my culture I’ve really changed is what I wear and what I eat. Once I got a translator about a month after we came to America I also changed my language. Now I have lots of friends and it doesn’t really bother me about leaving Japan especially since my family moved...

...This is evident in “Life Among The Samurai” by Eleanor Hall (Document D). She writes, “To help them learn to endure pain and suffering, young samurai boys were subjected to physical hardships such as, fasting, marching barefoot in the snow and maintaining rigid postures for long periods.” This reveals that the samurai were prepared to deal with pain and suffering, so that they could pick themselves back up again if they were injured on the battlefield. More evidence lies in the same document (Document D). Eleanor states, “Around age 7, boys would learn to ride horseback. The young warriors studied Kendo (the art of fencing with bamboo sticks), the moral code of a samurai and zen buddhism.” This shows that not only are they prepared for most pain, but they were also trained with weapons and horses at a surprisingly young age. In conclusion, the samurai would be triumphant because of their physical...

...prospective knight’s training [began at the age of four or five] “ (Doc. C) and from the PBS series titled, “Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire” states that, “The rigorous training (of samurai)...began in childhood…” (Doc. C) These two pieces of evidence show that both the knights and samurai had started their training at a young age. This was probably because they could soak in all of the skills while they were young. Also, the warriors of Europe and Japan practiced with a false fighting instruments. From the source of the PBS series tilted, “Warrior Challenge” it states that,”...practiced] with blunted or wooden swords…” (Doc. C) and from the PBS series titled, “Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire” it states that, “The young warriors studied Kendo (the art of fencing with bamboo sticks).” (Doc. C) These two pieces of evidence show that both the Japanese and Europeans had similar training methods of practicing with fake swords to prepare themselves for battle. Not only do the Knights and Samurai have similar training methods, they also follow a similar code of honor. The knights code of honor is called chivalry, while the samurai’s is called bushido. From the note included in Document E, it states that, “Both Japanese samurai and European knights were expected to abide by a code of honor.” This evidence shows that both of the knights and samurai were expected to follow specific rules that kept them in line. Also, inside of the chivalry and bushido, both represented the idea of being...

...I lie here overcome by death!” (Document F). These poems show what death means to the Samurai and Knights and how they accept it. Another way they learned to accept it was through religious training. “...[the samurai received training in] Zen Buddhism...and [the squire] received some religious training.” (Document C) “ [The Samurai’s allegiance to his lord lasted in] his past existence, his present one, and the next life…” (Document B). The Knights and Samurais allegiance to his lord was until death. Now, the Samurai and Knights did have differences, like religion and their specific feelings about death, but the similarities overweigh the differences. Sure, their religious training might be different, “the young [Samurai] studied Kendo (the art of fencing with bamboo sticks), the moral code of the samurai, and Zen Buddhism…[the Knight] refining his horse skills and receiving some religious instruction.” (Document C). For the Knights, they only received some religious training, but they still received it. Also, their feelings about death were not quite the same, as the Samurai thought of it as “autumn breezes blow[ing],’ where Knights thought of it as something grander, where “Angels descended out of heaven and come to [you].” (Document F) But, they ultimately thought of death as the same thing: a part of life. Though they had some differences, Knights and Samurai were very similar in many ways. Through their code of honor, social standing, and death poems, the Knights...

...XXXXX XXXXX British Literature 6 May, 2013 The Perception of War Through the Eyes of a Child J. G. Ballard’s literary work, Empire of the Sun, is a novel about a child’s experiences while living in Shanghai, China during World War II. Throughout the novel, Jim, an eleven-year old British lad, is forced to deal with a variety of issues related to the war. The brutal hardships, pain, and death associated with war typically take a massive toll on adults, wearing them down. Yet, in many young children and adolescents, it is often as if war is perceived as almost being a movie or a time of imagination. Adults and children often differ in their points of view regarding war and even deal with such events differently. However, regardless of one’s view of war, change still ensues and there is no escaping that harsh reality. Initially, Jim, the main character, is very young and very naive about the world and the ensuing war. Jim starts out as a young innocent lad, imagining how exciting it would be to be a fighter pilot, just like the Japanese pilots that fly over the city. Jim is very naïve as the only life he has ever known is one of privilege. This is because Jim was born into the class of the elite rich, who often looked down upon the Chinese and Japanese peasants that would plead for money in the streets. Jim even states, “All over the western suburbs people were wearing fancy dress, as if Shanghai had become a city of clowns” (p. 10). ...
