WHAT ROLE DOES HISTORICAL WRITE LITERATURE PLAY IN OUR LIFE
Ancient prose, poetry, drama, essays, fiction, literary works based on philosophy, art, history, religion, and culture writings are grouped under the category of historical literature. Historical literature plays a signicant role in our life experience. What I have read the most and the most impressive is Shakespeare's play. Romeo and Juliet shows us how forceful love is. Othello preaches to us that loyality sometimes is foolish and the nature of woman. Macbeth displays that wild ambition is the cause of the crime. These literatures provide our society with the guiding principles of life.It is through reading such great literary and poetic works, that one understands life. They help us take a closer look at the different facets of life. In many ways, it can change one's perspective towards life. Lives of brilliant individuals who have made a valuable contribution to society, are sketched in their biographies. These works give us an insight into the lives of these eminent people. We should interpret the works as our standard of life. However, languages are the building blocks of literature. But the study of literature cannot be restricted to only studying languages. Historical literature provide so much more than languages can offer.

Homesickness
Living alone for six years
Missing hometown and families everyday
Sitting on the chair all day
Tossing and turning at night
Recalling days passed away
Having fun with friends
Fleeting the time and getting hair grayed
Full of sorrow and loneliness

The Bull Calf Presentation Jason&Yufang
Irving Peter Layton, OC (March 12, 1912 – January 4, 2006) was a Romanian-born Canadian poet. He was known for his "tell it like it is" style which won him a wide following but also made enemies.
Layton theorized that poetry should be "vital, intense, subtle and dramatic," and his work is ample proof of his description. He also edited volumes of poems by other Canadians. The first volume of his memoirs, Waiting for the Messiah, was published in 1985. Of the poets who emerged in Montréal during this period, Layton was the most outspoken and flamboyant. His satire was generally directed against bourgeois dullness, and his famous love poems were erotically explicit. Even in the last decade of his life, his poetry continued to inspire praise, outrage and criticism.
In the poem"The Bull Calf", the poet portrays a new-born calf which could barely stand killed by a freeman because the calf is no help to make money.The theme of this poem is animals that are considered inferior than humans are treated unfairly. There are some quotes that can illustrate the theme.
"The thing could barely stand." Yet taken from its mother. New-born lives are pure. They have not experienced the outside world . If a baby does not have his mom accompany with him, his life will be rough. They are too young to face the ruthlessness of humans."No money in bull calves," Freeman had said. One should not put a value on a life. You can only live once. Lives are the most valuable things in the world."We dug a deep pit and threw the dead calf into it." We should treat animals with more respect. We are all equal in nature. Even though we as humans are the dominators of the nature world, we still have to be considerate and kind to animals which we live together with in the world.

DSTMFG Response
The story "Do Seek Their Meat From God" shows the conflict between man and environment. Both of them want to survive. The panthers have their reasons to prey the boy: They have to hunt for food to survive and feed their cubs. Likewise, the settler has his own reason to hunt. His son will be the prey of the panthers if he wouldn't hunt them. Both sides have enough reasons to hunt the counterpart for survival and it seems that no side should be blamed. This is the cruelty of the real world: hunt or to be hunted. The story ends with the death of the panthers, which is easier for readers to accept.

What is love?

Love is
A wonderful miracle.

Love is,
Caring when you are gnored,
Love is
Sharing when you are in pain,
Love is
Inspiring when you have no gain
Love is
Forgiving when you make mistakes,
Love is
Understanding when you are not trusted,
Love isHand in hand in the heavy rain,
Love is
A key to a closed heart,
Love is
Sacrifice when you are in need,
Love is
Mutual understanding and support,
Love is
The candle in the dark,
Love is
A light that never dims,
Love is
A shade into sunlight in the morning,
Love is
A postcard on Mother's Day,
Love is
A rose on Valentine's Day,
Love is
A comfort to a friend on his painful days,
Love is
Unselfishness,
Requires no rewards,
Love is
All around us,
Love is
All.

I am a sedentary person
About myself, I am an Otaku, so I am a sedentary person. I became sedentary as the electronic things came out. My room is my own world and I feel like the feeling of following my inclinations. There are also some reasons to be sedentary. One of the reasons is that there is no place such as basketball court for me to do any sports near where I live. It takes a long time to get to the nearest basketball court and I will be too tired to play. I don’t do much exercise so that it becomes my bad habit and that is why I don’t take PE as my optional class. I don’t feel like staying at home at weekends. I still need some fresh air. Even if I hang out with my friends, we won’t do anything physically either. Before I get my driving license, I have to take the bus as the vehicle. During my free time, I would like to stay with my computer, playing or watching movies for the whole night if possible.
Above all, I am a sedentary boy. I am who I am and don’t like changes.
