Naruto Back Ground Info Part Three

   Sorry that I haven't been writing about Naruto for so long but I couldn't with all the stuff I've had to due.  Well I'm going to finish off were I left off. I belive that Itachi was making Naruto see Sasuke(in his second cursed seall mark), Kakshi, Sakura, and Garra coming out of his body.  Itachi then makes Naruto here all of them taunt him by saying he's a loser, failure drop out and calling him weak.  He even makes the Sasuke coming out of his body choke him. Naruto makes an effort to relese the genjustu by turning off his chakra.

    But Itachi's genjustu is so powerful that even that dosen't work.  As Naruto breaks down crying on the ground the real Sakura, Kakshi, and chiyo get there.  Instantly they see Naruto on the floor crying Kakashi instantly attacks Itachi but he doges while Sakura uses does the same thing She did to relese him in  the invasion of Konaha (the hidden leaf village) and it frees him.  Enraged at what Itachi did to him Naruto makes three dopplegangers and uses a justu he had devoloped during his travles called Great Ball Rasegan which is so unstable that he needs three doppelgangers to make and stablazie it.  After making it Naruto uses it on Itachi and defeats him.  Whilethe body of Itachi lies in a crater something odd starts to happen to his body the same thing that is happening to Kisame.  Sorry but thats all I can say for now

What is the Erick Fisher Dream ?(final)

      I don't no what the Erick Fisher dream is but I think I know what it is.    I think it's the dream is Erick becoming a famous foot ball player( pretty obvious if you ask me).  What tells me this is that his dad is always talking about Erick and he's telling every body who'll listen about Erick's football skills.  He moved them out to a state were Erick can get on to a football team, he hardly pays attention to Paul, and he was never really into Erick's life until he started playing football.   Now looking at this information I know that the Erick Fisher Dream is to get Erick to be a famous football player.

Ruin song(final)

      

         

 

       The ruin song tells the history of the people and the past horrible events that happened causing there civilization to become ruins but have been rebuilt.     An example of this is when Kira was repairing the singers robe on pg.117 “Then the complex, whirling the patches of fire: oranges, reds, yellows.  Here and there on the robe these fires appeared a repetitive pattern of ruin... Kira could see figures of humans portrayed: people destroyed, their tiny villages crumbling, and later even larger, much more splendid towns burned and ravished by fiery destruction.  In some places on the robe there was a feeling of entire worlds ending’’.

         ''Yet always there would emerge, near by, new growth. New people.  Ruin rebuilding.  Ruin again.  Regrowth." (pg.117) those quotes are proof that a society in the past of Kiri’s village was destroyed.  Some people say that Kira's world mirrors our world.  Those people are right.  Kira's world of ruin and rebuilding is exactly like our world because events like this have happened in our history. For example ancient Rome and Greece were destroyed. Yet today Rome and Greece still exist as thriving, civilized societies. There was also the civil war in which a new order happened and people had to rebuild by adapting to this just like the people that came from the distant lands they came from or out of the ruin had to adapt rebuild and go on  no matter how many lives have been lost or what has happened. 

Gathering Blue Analysis Essay

                                                                         Gathering Blue

     In the book Gathering Blue Kira is the sower for the singer's robe. The robe is worn by the singer at the Ruin song ceremony. The name Ruin Song is that, because of the history of their world and the pattern followed by the passage of time, and the passage of countries and Empires and cultures.

             In many ways this name relates to the real world. Many hundreds and maybe thousands of cultures have fallen into dissension, poverty and plague. The history of the world is like a pattern. Times of relative peace come and last for a couple of hundred years. Then time of poverty and hate and death. The Ruin Song follows this path. You can tell because when Kira was examining the robe, she noticed the sharp rise and decline of nations and cultures. We are lucky to be living in a time of basic peace and wealth. Many say the world is crumbling as you read this. Before you start spewing doomsday, look back into history to the Middle and Dark Ages where millions died in religious wars. Many millions more died of plague and famine.

                 My belief in the resemblance of the Ruin Song to the real world is supported by another example in history. For about five hundred years Ancient Rome was the dominating superpower of the world. Wars were everywhere, but inside of The State things were peaceful. In many other Empires life was filled with riches, but the world was in constant descent. As we continue, we get to the Dark Ages where millions died every month. The world was a trashcan of plague, war and death. Kira lives in a time where people are treated like sheep. People are not exposed to the good in life, and the very few who know what life is truly about shield it from the eyes of the hopeless. The idea of the Guardians is that in a contained environment the world will not change and communities will not thrive or die.

                      In conclusion, the Ruin Song is about the change in societies and cultures. It relates to us through times of great sadness and times of wealth and glory. The world has a way of destroying the most powerful Countries and Empires and in this fantasy we are looking into a future where our leaders keep us in the dark so there will be no rise and fall of communities and countries, and no war.

 

Gathering Blue-abuse and neglect

                                                                                  

            In Kira's world children are sometimes abused and neglected.  The women do not take care of their children like normal people that we are aware of.  I know this because the women leave their  children in the pens, like animals.  Also, the women abused the children when they hit them.  In the story Matt's mother, like all the mothers there, was glad to get rid of him.  "The woman shook her head and coughed again, Good rid of him,she said.  She shoved the tyke to the side and pulled the heavy wooden door closed." 

     In the same regard, Matt maybe considered to be both abused and neglected.  Matt was abused when Matt's mom beat him until he bled.  His mother was glad he was gone.  Matt was neglected because he was always dirty and no one cared.  Also, he was neglected when his mother did not feed him.

     The fact that Matt is abused and neglected influences his personality.  Because he doesn't have a good life at home, he finds other to talk to.  He is informative because he tells Kira  information about Vandara and the other women who are trying to to get her cott and wanted to build a pen for their kids.  Matt also is bored, like with Annabella, because she talked too much.  This is another characteristic of Matt.  Being a small kid he's always bored when people are talking to him.  He's always moving and always impatient.  Matt also gets annoyed with things around him.  He gets annoyed when people,like Kira, want him to get clean.  These are some of Matt's characteristics that he shows in the story.

         In Gathering Blue Matt was abused.    Matt's mother used to beat him till he bled. Friends ,like Kira, used to feed him.Matt had a relationship with Kira. No one treated  Matt like Kira did and no one treated Kira like Matt did.  Because of Matt`s experiences  he was better  placed  to help Kira than anyone else.  Matt was always around the neighborhood and he found out things about Annabella and found how they wanted to get rid of  Kira`s house.   This helped Kira because she knew who her enemies were, like Vandara, and the other women who wanted her house and wanted to get rid of her by putting her in the field. He helped her about Annabella, the old woman, by  telling her he saw Jameson there when she was found dead.  This made her concernced about how Jameson acted toward her and if he told her the truth or not.  These are some of the ways Matt helped Kira in the story Gathering Blue.

The station

                                                                        The Station      

                  Your walking thru the streets of your quiet town, the wound on your shoulder throbs the warm blood trikles down your arm. You feel its dark red warmth. The wound does not hurt anymore but you know it's there draining the force from you. You feel like falling on the ground and never getting back up but you have to keep going. You remember the last few days your best friends death, the screems of your neighbors. Well he's dead at least... or well you think he's dead but you did shoot him five times with a shotgun. You finally see the first signs of life at the police sation you run sort of to the front door an overweight police chief is sitting on a desk he turns mid sentence at you. His face is in utter shock not every day you see a teen walk into a police station with multiple stab wounds, but today was not every other day.

                     You tell them again and again and again. They keep asking you like your lying of playing a prank. " I told you I'm not lying you say once more." Finally the police chief says "son you have to tell us the truth what really happ.. The lights flickered of and you hear a muffled scream. The police chief yells into the darkness "Johnson get the backup generator running." You hear a gurgling noise and the lights flicker back on a slim cop hand on his gun was dead, blood spray all over and his other hand on his bloody, pierced neck. The police chief puts a hand on his mouth and gasps. " Holy lord" says another cop. Bust out the shotties were gonna kill this son of a buissness man (wait thats not right).. (watev) The whole station gets up and goes to a rack and they unlock all the lockers they pull out big black and long shotguns. they run off leaving you with the captain. The captain says "stay here" and you say "are you crazy." You run off with him. You ad the captain creep along the walls you hear gunfire from nowhere.

                   You join up with the rest of the men two more cops are dead. You follow them as they hunt the killer you see him and shout " over there" the men run after him you feel wind behing you and a sharp grasp a cold long and sharp knife slips out of nowhere you see your doom looming ahead... lucky for you the police chief tackles you and you are saved. The man stabs the chief, you see him cringe. The cops all start shooting and it looks as if the killer is fighting off an invisible swarm of insects. You expect him to fall but he continues toward you he grabs you by the throut you feel the air being squeezed out of you. Blackness swarms the edges of you vision. The cops have stopped shooting but one shoots him in the side the man doubles over and you see the knife you and him both go after it. He gets there first and he prepares to kill you. You look into his eyes and you see hatred, blood, and death.
