Nasu

by Jacob and John (Back)

He went to Station Six.  The name is Nasu. It is is about Basho. We are learning about the famous Basho, the poet, and his travels. He had feelings about the places he went. When he went to Nasu, he felt lost, sick, tired, weak ,and hungry. The station was nice. When he came to Nasu he remembered that he had a friend so he asked for shelter, His friend said "Yes". Basho was important because of the places that he visited and he was a poet.

We looked at Nasu from the idea of the Place. Place is the personality of area. It has human side and a nature side. Nasu is a place with a lot of nature and a couple of villages. It has a lot of rain, some mountains, animals, trees, plants, houses and food. The villages were built and people started learning things. He found a lot of happiness in poetry and was happy. Basho came across a lot of plants, trees and grass he noticed a lot of soil plants were in soil. Then when he was walking he saw a horse. Then he came across a Japanese farmer. He saw a couple of horses that were wet because of the rain. I would feel cold and sick and tired and hungry and lost and weary and need a shelter. If I was in Nasu I don't think I could move in if I was here. Basho is a good friend he's a good poet. Basho liked animals and plants. He liked children. He liked poetry .He was poor.

Basho could go to the places that two of his favorite poets went. He wanted to learn about the places they went. He learned Zen meditation after his parents died. When Basho was calm the answer came. If I met Basho today, I might not like him. Because all he'd do is write probably. He learned to be a better poet. Basho liked animals a lot more after he visited Nasu.
