Is a samurai never fears death a good book?
"Samurai: A Concise History" by M. Turnbull is a well-regarded book that covers the warrior class in Japan, including their attitudes towards death. "A Samurai Never Fears Death" might be a book or article on the same topic, but without more context it's hard to say if it's a good read.
Is the samurai's tale historical fiction?
It depends on the specific story or novel being referred to. Some samurai tales may be based on historical events and characters, making them historical fiction. It's important to verify the details and accuracy of the portrayal of samurai and their era in each individual work.
How do you make a haiku on samurai?
Well first, ordinarily, haikus are about nature, so i'm not sure if there is one about samurai. But first, think about the sole elements about samurai. What drives them, what's important to them etc. Remember, there are three lines, the first one has 5 syllables, the second one has 7 syllables, and the third one also has 5 lines. So here's something I might write:
Samurai are skilled
with great talents with a sword
their honor binds them.
Okay, I know, not the best thing you've ever read in your life, but you want something along those lines.
Does sensei hosokawa die in young samurai?
Yes, Sensei Hosokawa dies in the "Young Samurai" series. He sacrifices himself to save Jack Fletcher, his student, in a critical moment. His death has a significant impact on Jack and plays a crucial role in shaping his character throughout the series.
To start, try writing a poem with a specific structure, like a Haiku. A Haiku is usually structured like this:
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables
Write about whatever you want. Haikus are usually about nature, but the idea is to just try writing something that fits into a form. Write a couple, and read some online, and see which ones sound better. Don't try to rhyme the lines because that is not needed in this type of poem.
Once you think that you have a couple of Haikus that please you, move on to more difficult structures. Try a Cinquain or a Diamante, or any poem form you find online, but don't try anything more than 10 lines long or anything that has a rhyme scheme at first. Give yourself some room to work and don't get overwhelmed with restrictions at first.
The idea of poetry is to take a big idea or emotion or moment in time, and express it precisely. Being concise in poetry isn't just a nice idea: it is imperative.
Try rhyming form poetry if you want to, or long repeating forms if you are up for a challenge. The final challenge is free verse. It is challenging because it doesn't have a specific form. You have to have the ability to be concise and clear without limitations on your syllables, number of words, rhyme scheme or number of lines in a stanza. When given that much freedom some people tend to go back to regular writing rather than poetry.
To review, practice with forms first and then expand. Read some poetry by E.E. Cummings, David Ignatow, Billy Collins, or any poet you admire. See if you can write something similar, in that style. Think about how you can change and make it better. Write what you feel, and then change it and refine it over and over again. Ask yourself: Where should the line breaks be; What is the word that is exactly right for this idea or feeling or moment? Remember to stay concise and not to try to express too much at once. Then, if you want to go further, you can read some of the authors (Adrienne Rich comes to mind) who have written poems that are pages and pages long.
Somewhere in there, hopefully you will find your own style, and realize when it is good to follow writing "rules" and when you don't need to, for you. Unfortunately, a lot of it is just practice and feeling. If you enjoy writing, then keep doing it. Writing is its own reward in so many ways.
A Different PerspectiveFirst: Think of a subject to write about.Second: Ii doesn't have to rhyme. I happen to find non-rhyming poems much more beautiful, because you can really express yourself. Only really good poets can get a message across through a rhyming poem. If you like to rhyme then go ahead. You may be one of those special poets who can rhyme and express themselves.
Third: Don't try to hard. Just let your words flow. Try to base it on an emotion or message. Try to get the reader to see that message, or feel that emotion.
Fourth: Your poetry is YOURS. People write in different ways. Poetry isn't one thing, it's unlimited things. It's expressing. It's beautiful. It's unlimited. It's YOU.
Fifth: Use figurative language, similes, metaphors symbolism, or imagery. Similes are when you compare two things alike in one sentence. Example, her eyes were like a million diamonds. A metaphor is the same thing, except you call the two alike things each other. Example, Her smile is a sunrise. Symbolism is a device that uses one thing to symbolize another. For example, the phrase "Without dreams; life is a barren field; frozen with snow" (Robert Frost). Imagery is when you describe an image using sound, taste, feel, or smell through words. For example, "The tall white horses plunged through the icy water, with foam around their knees, slipping over the rocks on the opposite bank." You can see that image, right?
Sixth: Be creative! There are no real "ways" to write, it's just you. The sky is the limit!

Were samurai ever mercenaries?
Yes. The samurai themselves began as a sort of mercenary force -in the sense of 'warrior-for-hire'- and for much of recorded Japanese history it was common for the survivors of the losing side of a battle to become soldiers of fortune. After the Tokugawa clan united Japan, many warriors fled the country, not only from the defeat itself, but also if the samurai were Christian converts, since Christianity was outlawed under the Tokugawa. Such warrior exiles served many nationalities, and were often prized, not for fancy swords, or mythical skills (although they were still respected as elite warriors), but for their -almost wreckless- daring and total disregard for their own lives in battle.
The most famous such mercenary was Yamada Nagamasa, who established a Japanese settlement under the patronage of the king of Ayutthaya (modern day Thailand), where they were highly valued for their martial skills and made elite bodyguards. It was also recorded that the king of Cambodia was grateful for warriors of his Japanese settlement for helping him crush a rebellion. Similarly, the Spanish, the Dutch, and the Portuguese employed them to crush revolts in their newly acquired colonies accross South and South East Asia as well as in battles against eachother. For example, the Portuguese used samurai mercenaries in the Siege of Malacca in 1606, where they supposedly served with distinction against the Dutch.

How did the samurai use horses?
Samurai were fighting on horses in Medieval Japan. They were actually the cavalry.
Their primary war time weapon was the Yari, an about 7 foot long lance.
The Katana, Japanese sword, was their backup weapon when on the battlefield.
They would use the sword if they were thrown down from their horse during battle.
This is why in the Japanese swordsmanship Art (Iaido), most work ('forms' or Katas) start from a kneeling down position, as to educate the warrior how to draw their sword while raising up from the ground.
Search for "Yabusame" on the Internet for further and exhaustive information.

How do you get the samurai armor on halo 3?
There are two ways to get the "Katana" sword in Halo 3: Get 1,000 Gamerpoints in Halo 3 or get 49 out of 79 achievements in Halo 3. I recommend that you finish campaign on Legenday first (so you already have a lot of gamerpoints. It is frustrating, but it is worth it.) Then, just play the Legendary and Mythic Map Pack and get the Achievements there (most are about 25Gs but some are 50Gs.) Good luck!
