Musui 's Story is a samurai 's autobiography that portrays the Tokugawa society as it was lived during Katsu Kokichi 's life (1802 - 1850). Katsu Kokichi (or Musui) was a man born into a family with hereditary privilege of audience with the shogun, yet he lived a life unworthy of a samurai 's way, running protection racket, cheating, stealing, and lying.

The cluster six stories were grouped together because they all have to do with a event, major or minor, has changed the author. These events are completely different from their day to day lives. I liked reading Science Of the Right Side of the Brain. Science is my one of my favorite subjects and I think the brain is the most complex and astonishing thing. To this day we still don’t know what it’s still capable of doing and are still learning it’s nature. I feel I’m more right sided, which is the artistic half of the brain. I liked reading about the the discoveries about the brain in this story. I also didn’t mind reading The Case Against Chores. My moms always nagging me to do my chores, but on the other hand Jane Smiley wasn’t forced to. Her

I enjoyed “Bullet in the Brain” mainly because of the unique and perplexing main character, Anders. He was hard to predict because he was portrayed as being insensitive to everything. This unusual characteristics is what intrigued me and made the story enjoyable to me.

War has been a constant deterrent in humanities’ pursuit for peace. Many innocent people are affected and persecuted in horrendous ways, and may even ask why is this happening to them. However in The Tales of the Heike, the losers know exactly why they are losing and suffering. This “warrior tale” tells the story of the Genji clan having the advantage over the Heike clan in war. They believe it was all due to their leader, Chancellor Kiyomori, abusing his power and obtaining bad karma not only for himself but also for his clan as well. But instead of the story showing how triumphant and righteous the victors are, it instead written in a certain tone and has imagery that invokes the reader to sympathize with the losing side.

So you having fun with your boyfriend, right? Try not to have too much fun, Alexander or should I say Sakura. After the anonymous author found out about her identity, she drank the sake, trying to get the letter out of her mind.

This created a divide between those who appreciated the old ways, to those who understood their defeat in the war could be account to through their underdevelopment as a militaristic nation. This is symbolised in the relationship between Ono and his grandson. Catching his grandson playing cowboys and indians, a popular American game, Ono attempts to instil his patriotic values onto him; “It’s more interesting by far to pretend to be someone like Lord Yoshitsune”. Their contesting relationship is a representation of modern thinking and Americanisation of the “younger generation” with their “bitterness for their elders”. Furthermore, it suggests why Ono is selective and reluctant in his narration of his past as he understands that many of his actions were greatly detrimental and thus the younger generation bitterly hold him responsible for many war implications. This is expressed through Ono’s son-in-law, Suichi’s anger towards war implications; “Brave young men die for stupid causes, and the real culprits are still with us”. Ono responds, “why must be harbour such bitterness for his elders?”, demonstrating this lack of respect and understanding within the generational

Due to Yugi exercising his nature of compassion, selflessness, and pacifism in the name of friendship throughout, he's made plenty of friends along his journey to find his partner's name and memories. Ever since he had put together his Millennium Puzzle, an Ancient Egyptian pendant housing the spirit of an amnesiac Pharaoh, and befriending said spirit, he's been eager to put his life aside to assist him. He's hardly petty or one to keep grudges, as he forgives easily no matter the crime, even if somebody has threatened his life or the lives of his friends. Yugi always sees the good in people, since his opponents certainly couldn't be that awful! Somewhat trusting to a fault and naïve at times, he's done some pretty dumb things such as hand over his Puzzle to a "fortune-teller" who ran off with it. Despite the smidgen of gullibility, he's very clever, especially when it comes to games. *********************************************. Board games, card games, video
