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 …show more content…
With the encouragement from his friends, Atem especially, his confidence grew enough for him to feel like he could face the world independent of his other self. Now, although Yugi isn't as stoic and confident as his partner, he remains an amicable, courageous fellow who, of course, loves all sorts of games and refuses to give up even on the brink of defeat. By default, he acts perky and friendly towards anybody that he meets. Furthermore, concerning his title as the King of Games, he's never by all means let it go to his head, being quite humble and modest instead due to feeling that he certainly isn't that amazing and significant. Not only that, although even if he isn't a stereotypical manly man, he's still a man with a strong heart and spirit, who never succumbed or became tainted by any evil. Then again, he's somewhat of a pervert, though, although what teenage boy
Musui will deliberately continue his transgressions during his adult years. He kept visiting the Yoshiwara repeatedly in many occasion, he traveled without permission, dealt with merchants, and became materialistic. At one occasion, he even shamelessly pulled a big farce (p. 135) of committing seppuku, which was considered as a sacred samurai ceremony, in order to get money from peasants. What is striking in all this is that he shows no indication of regret for his act, but instead describes the whole situation with pride.
Shori also challenges society’s fears about sexuality by taking sexual liberties with several partners, old and young, male and female. The
Kii Yazhi was taken away from his family at a young age. He was taken to a boarding school which was ran by strict white men. The superiors would yell at Kii, telling him he cannot speak Navajo anymore, only english was allowed or Kii would be punished. Unfortunately, Kii did speak Navajo accidentally a few times which caused him a mouthful of soap, beaten by a stick, and humiliation in front of his whole school. Kii had to cut his hair off and was changed to a new, more white name, ‘Ned’.
The artwork Blinded by the Light (1991) by Yasumasa Morimura is an appropriation of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s The Blind Leading the Blind (1568) (Israel, 2005). Morimura has appropriated paintings and photographs throughout the ages, though The Blind Leading the Blind is the earliest dated work that Morimura has appropriated (Marsh, Watts, & Maylon, 1999). Morimura super-imposes a composite self-portrait on top of Bruegel’s painting, successfully changing the meaning of the piece. The different historical contexts of the two pieces in conjunction with appropriation allow the accumulation of ideas to present two separate meanings pertinent to the ideals of the times. Morimura’s simultaneous use of the historical and religious aspects of The

On one such occurrence Genji is pursuing a woman named Yūgao, who is of “lower grade” (Tyler, 62). He visits her only at night in secret, and doesn’t call on her until everyone in the house is asleep (Tyler 63).
Visual Analysis of Yabukoji at The Foot of Atago The polychrome woodblock print Yabukoji at the Foot of Atago by Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige illustrates a peaceful winter living scene of Edo.

In Yojimbo, Akira Kurosawa satirizes Japanese greed and corruption and portrays the growing influence of capitalism. During this time in Japan, the Yakuza clan was a very strong and dangerous group equivalent to the modern day mafia. The Yakuza clans’ ideals are relatable to two themes prominent in Yojimbo: greed and corruption, and rising capitalist influence. Kurosawa satirizes these two characteristics of the Yakuza clan through the use of mise en scene.
She appears as a young girl with messy white hair; two portions raveled into ponytails. She had thick black eyebrows, and always kept her eyes closed, unless playing Gungi. Komugi wore a pink tunic, with a white long sleeve shirt underneath. She was seen carrying a walking stick when entering the palace in East Gorteau. Though blind, she is the world champion in the board game of Gungi and frequently plays with the King. She constantly berates herself, thinking that her only skill is playing Gungi; she even comes to the conclusion that she is worthless (garbage in her words), if she loses a single match. The King develops feelings toward Komugi due to her brilliance and skill in Gungi and her unassuming nature, despite her being a human. She
2. Geni was charming on the exterior to most that knew him. However, a closer examination reveals that he is selfish, uncompassionate, unfaithful and superficial. He is everything I am not looking for in a man. He sees what he wants and he takes it, as he did with Murasaki. He is very hypocritical. Genji expects his wife to be faithful to him while he is constantly sharing himself with other women.
A kindred spirt of Mo Yan from the island of Japan, filmmaker Akira Kurosawa shares Mo Yan views on human nature. For these two men, humans have the capacity for great evil as well as great good. In Kurosawa’s Rashomon, we see the fathomless depths humans will sink to, in order to preserve their own selfish desires. Throughout all three accounts of the samurai’s death, we see how all the characters falsify the truth in order to serve their needs. From Tajomaru’s grandiose fantasies of himself to the wife who shifts from sinful serpent to docile doe to lessen her involvement and finally the samurai who even in death refuses to tell the truth so that his honor as a great warrior and disciple to the bushido code will remain intact. Even the woodcutter
Everyone asks why they should get their vaccines, but they don’t realize the risks their taking if they don’t get vaccinated. Adults are more at risk to catch diseases than children.
