The samurai is the members of the military class, the Japanese warriors. There's weapen has bows and arrows, spears and guns, but the famous weapen is sword.Their lives according the ethic of bushido, and it stressed the concepts of loyalty their master. The samurai's importance grow in heian period, because some rich people hired their private warrior to save them.During the Muromachi Period, there are many wars. Many people fight each other,so the the demand for samurai was very high. Many samurai work in farm that time. In Edo Period, the samurai need to live in a place called castle towns. They also has some income. In 1868, the samurai class was abolished.

TED Talks


This man is James Burchfield, he can use a great Beatbox. It is the best Beatbox I ever seen.

I go to ted.com and watch some video. I watch the David Perry one, he is talking about video games. He use a video to introduce the video games grow. Like basketball games, at beginning there's just two kind of spot moving and shot. Slowly, the game becomes real. Everything is real, it's more like you are playing a real basketball. Racing game also, at beginning there just the black and white spot. It comes real at now,it makes you feel you are driving the car. He says he has a plan to make the video games more emotional, can makes people cry. I thinks he has a great idea to make it emotional, it is a cool idea. I wish one day,the video games becomes more emotional.

The second I watch is Ann Cooper, she is talking about school lunch. She thinks we feed children to death, because the school lunch is unhealthy. She think goverment let this garbage food be in the school, and children always eat it. The food in school isn't make students smart, it just make you sick. I think she tell a big problem, because my school's lunch also not fresh at all. I agree her the goverment need to care about it.

The last one I watch is a cool one, he is named James Burchfield. His pet name is "Audio Poet", because he can use "Beatbox" to imitate the machine breakdown. The show also has rhythms, and he only use his voice. I heard many Beatbox, but I think he is the best.
