Jun's third piece "The evening sun"

Author’s note:

It is a poem about my feeling when I rode a bike in ICU in the evening and saw a very beautiful evening sun.

When I was a child, I wondered why I couldn’t become someone, I am just me. Even now, I sometimes think I want to see my days through someone’s eyes. Especially when I see beautiful aspects, I want to know what someone feels when he/she looks at that. However, it is difficult to know because the person who I want to know his/her feeling is usually in a distance. “You”in this poem mean such a person.

I would like to thank Mark and my roommate, Alyssa, for giving me some comments and pointing out some words I should change.

Jun's second piece "Haiku of four different seasons"

Author’s Note:

I wrote 4 haikus related to the four seasons with photos.

It was the first time I wrote a Haiku in English. It was difficult to express my feelings in short sentences or words, but it was really fun.

I felt I like writing a haiku in English more than in Japanese.

 

I want to thank Mark and my classmates, Ryoko, Nozomi, and Saaya, for giving me some comments and advice to rewrite more clearly what I want to express. Thank you very much!

Jun's first piece "The teaching of my father"

Author's Note:

I wrote a personal narrative about the teaching of my father when I was a child because thanks to parents, I am the person I am now.

After writing this piece, I paused to realize that my way of thinking is based on my parent’s view. I felt I want to obey the teachings of my parents in the future.

While I was writing this piece, my classmates, Moro and Saya, gave me suggestions. Moro gave me some positive comments and pointed out the part that was difficult to understand. So I tried to change some words to be more clearly. And Saya advised me to add my family photo from when I was a child. Thanks Moro and Saya!

Publishing - Just send me a Google Doc or other link!

Advice for Publishing:

1. Make sure you've had at least one other classmate give you feedback for revision and editing.

2. Send me a Google Doc link, and add me as an Editor. Other types of links are fine too. For example, if you want to add your voice or BGM, you can create a YouTube video.

3. Think about colors and how it will look as a published piece (font colors, size, background colors, images)

4. Send me an Author's Note that explains your theme and genre and your feelings about this piece. You can include things about what you tried to emphasize and what points you want to still improve in the piece, too. Inviting comments and reaction is a good thing to do too.

5. Feel free to keep updating or modifying your piece on Google Docs any time you like!
