over
the years, i have been in many japanese culture classes at UCLA.
as a result, i have been able to work my obsession with anime
and manga into several paper topics. ^_^
while i'm certainly not an expert, my friends convinced me to
put my papers up since there is not much academic research done
on the subject.
i have included my bibliographies and footnotes so that you can
use my sources for research. there isn't that much, but at least
it's a starting point, right?
PLEASE DO NOT COPY MY PAPERS!
you
can cite them if you wish, but plagiarism is very wrong. i am
putting them up to help you.
update: more papers are up, since i finally graduated. ^_^
sorry about the sucky formatting. i got lazy and just did it from
word. when i have time, i'll fix it. maybe. ^^
i
just noticed.... everything starts with those pesky black ships!
(black ships=the americans coming to japan in the later half of
the kamakura period, right before the meiji restoration.)
