Ode to Japan
In Three kingdom period, there was Go gu reu, Beck jeu, Sin la. And there was Japan next to it. In that time, Japan people's life was bad and dangerous. They didn't knew how to eat meat with fire. They didn't knew how to ride horse and they had no language.
Japan king knew that and asked Three kingdom to help him. The Three kingdom taught Chinese language, how to eat meat with fire, how to make boat, and how to make paper and many things.
Because of that Japan became stronger. But they thought now they are stronger than the Three kingdoms and attacked Sin la. Then Go Gu Reu's mighty king camed to help Sin la. He swaped Japanese and got promise from Japan that they will not attack the Three Kingdom.
After that Japan was quiet. In the period of Goreu, Japanese came again but we won again. But again, in 1592, Japan attacked Korea one more time! This time the situations got different. Japan military had guns from west people. In few days they got the capital of Joe sun, and few days later, Joe sun had almost no land. But, the citizens went up. They just made a military and fought with Japan. They didn't had good weapons but they new the topography of the country very well. In the citizen military there was high people to low people and there was even a general. Many riches send large amount of money to the military. They usually attacked Japan's food transportation. The most famous one is the 'Red cloth general, Kuack Jae Woo. He made the first citizen military.
Also, Joe Sun's naval forces did a fantastic thing. First, Japan's plan was attack by land military and their naval forces were going to give food supplies.
But our Joe sun's naval forces that didn't work. In the middle of our naval forces, there was a general named Lee Sun Shin. Before there was a war. He knew that Japan will attack Joe Sun. He made many kinds of canons and weapon. The most powerful one was the 'Turtle Ship'. It is shaped like a turtle. In it's above, there is spears to defence Japanese coming over the ship. Also it was made by metal, so it ciuld crash hundreds of wooden Japan boat. Further more, it can shoot canons to any where. Fire came out of the turtle's head. It was terror for Japanese.
By their fighting, Joe sun got rid of Japanese in our land. This war, we actually won but the damage we got, was bigger than Japan.
In 1910, there was the worst thing that was happened by Japan. We became the colony of Japan. It lasted for 35 years. This time, Japan got the new technology from U.S.A and attacked us. Now the situations were 180 degree different. We was so weak to fight against Japan. We threw few bombs to the Japan's King but it all failed and it made damages to only other people.
In 1945, U.S.A threw nuclear bomb to Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. By this , Japan surendered and Korea became a country again. It was a bit sad because in that time, Korea's military was ready to attack Japan. The nuclear bomb exploded few days earlier than our battle time.
Now, Korea and Japan has a little bad emotions, but we are living friendly. I hate Japan, but I think because of Japan, Korea could be more stronger. The thing I am very mad about Korea is that they didn't punish people who worked under Japan. Right now it nay dosen't matter, but in the future, when the same thing happens, there could act same. I think the most important thing is that our country has to be stronger!
This is perhaps not the ode we were looking for but I definitely think it's a great essay about the history of Korea and Japan. There are lots of details and explanations. Are you doing a presentation or a research paper?
ReplyDeleteI agree with WonWoo. It is good, but not what an ode is.
