    Hello everyone,

    Your feedback is extremely important to us - we share your thoughts and critiques with our speakers, who use them to fine tune their presentations, so please feel free to be candid and constructive in your evaluation of the session.

    I know you all liked the snacks this time around, so there's no need to comment on that. Just on Japanese literature.

    Thanks,
    Miranda

    I thoroughly enjoyed Professor Miyake's presentation. To be honest, Asian poetry has always been extremely frustrating to me. Now I think I have a little better of an understanding of what was composed and for what reason.

    I also enjoyed the discussion of point of view and the structure of Japanese Literature. As a literature teacher, that allows me to make comparisons with writing that my students may already be familar with and to scaffold more effectively for deeper understanding and appreciation of the literature.

    I finally had a chance to check out the links that you sent out for the Animated Tale of Gengi. Wow! Talk about a dramatic representation! The music is the creepiest part of the ghost story! It also helped (for me at least) to see the story without trying to decipher the narration.
