Essay About Kurama

737 Words3 Pages

Kurama, the god of nature, means “leaf” in mesopotamia (not really). Kurama was also what the village of Konohagakure which meant “the village hidden in the leaf” worshipped.
Kurama was born from the god of water, Mizu, and the god of Soil, Tsuchi. When Kurama was born, he saw land. Desolate land. He decided there was too much red and not enough green. He raised trees from the ground and grass from the roots. While he was raising the trees, Kurama also created Kage, the god of shadows. It happened because the trees casted shadows. Before, there were no shadows because the world was completely flat. It was completely accidental though.

A few millennia passed, and humans started evolving. They built city-states and temples that worshipped the ancient deities. Kurama was angry though, because humans never worshipped him. They considered him a nine-tailed fox that terrorized major city-states. …show more content…

When he formed different hand signs, he could do magic. He told the priests in the city-state about his powers and the priests told him he had been blessed by a god. That god now lived inside him. When the priests asked what god was inside Naf Nosaj, he said Kurama. The priests had a shocked look on their faces. They told Naf Nosaj that Kurama was an evil Nine-tailed fox demon. The priests had an angry look on their faces so Kurama came out and asked Naf Nosaj if he could borrow his body for a moment.
Naf Nosaj transformed when Kurama took over and now looked like a old man with an extremely long beard. He had purple eyes with black lines in a ripple like pattern. The old man’s hair was brown and he was wearing reed clothes. Kurama said that he was not a demon fox but was actually a regular god. He teached the priests about the hand signs that allowed Naf Nosaj todo magic. The priests were sorry that they thought Kurama was an evil demon and asked for redemption. Kurama forgave the

  • Battle For Kokoda Essay

    831 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Battle for Kokoda, as a campaign overall, was a disaster to a large extent. This can be seen in the lack of preparation by the Australian troops, such as the supply drops and the AIF troops being sent to an unnecessary location. In addition to this, the terrain and conditions of the track had not been taken into account, which made the battle much harder both physically and strategically. However, possibly the worst mistake was the rivalry between commanders, and the way they treated the Battle for Kokoda like a game, instead of a real battle where people were dying because of their errors.

  • Battle Of Kokoda Essay

    To what extent was the Battle of Kokoda a disaster? To a large extent the Battle of Kokoda was not a disaster because it ended as a successful defence of Port Moresby and possibly Australia with the allies inflicting heavy casualties on the Japanese while suffering relatively few themselves. The campaign was an overall victory for the allies and caused the Japanese some of their first defeats in the war, stopping their momentum. Then again, if major problems with the allied supply lines hadn’t been resolved and the poorly trained and equipped Militia hadn’t been reinforced, the campaign could have been a disaster and ended as another allied defeat.

    Breast cancer was not always something that could be freely talked about nor was it always a major illness that was endlessly researched on. In Maren Klawiter’s, “Racing for care, walking women, and toxic touring: Mapping cultures of action within the Bay area Terrain of breast cancer,” she analyzes the deep rooted culture of social movements and compares the differences of individual cancer activism fields in the San Francisco Bay area (Klawiter p.2). She write a comparative analysis by examining three different social movements that both educated the public on breast cancer but also reshaped the breast cancer movement in different ways (Klawiter p.2). My claim is that Klawiter produced an in depth analysis of the different breast cancer movements,

  • Sundiata Hero Essay

    707 Words  | 3 Pages

    What does it mean to be a hero? For some, a hero is someone with superhuman strength or abilities, while others believe that heroes are ordinary people who exhibit extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. To me, a hero is someone who uses their strengths and abilities to help others, even at great personal risk. One such hero is Sundiata, the legendary founder of the Mali Empire, whose heroic actions have been chronicled in the African folk tale of Sundiata. Sundiata's heroic actions in the African folk tale of Sundiata demonstrate his courage, determination, and selflessness, and prove that he is a true hero.

    Jack Ma once said, “The world needs new leadership, but the new leadership is about working together.” This could not be more true at Boston University through its Kilachand Honors College. I believe it is because their approach of interdisciplinary problem-solving, is about expanding students’ world-views. In this program you are learning with different individuals who have different interest and fields of study.

  • Mesopotamia Geography And Religion Essay

    605 Words  | 3 Pages

    Geography not only plays a part in the spread of a religion but also can be inspiration or reflection for the religion itself. Many societies have numerous deities inspired by the landscape in and around their civilization. However, I believe not all religions drew inspiration from the land they lived in. Mesopotamian societies had multiple gods. Most deities represented cosmic forces of nature such as the sun, moon, water, and storms who were responsible for the creation of the earth (World Societies p. 36).

    Our worldview affects how we interpret the world around us as well as the literature we consume. Both ancient and modern worldviews have been heavily influenced by religions central to their cultures. One ancient culture whose worldview was strongly influenced by religion was Mesopotamia, as seen from their texts such as the Enuma Elish. Mesopotamian worldviews contrast from modern worldviews, which in turn cause our perspectives on every aspect of life to vary. One aspect in which modern and Mesopotamian views disagree is the topic of origin.
