Pencil Case Gangsta

-
I wish the delinquent boys in Trinidad were like the delinquents in Japan. Seriously. Maybe, then, we'd get somewhere as a people.

I can't take 'delinquent' students in Japan seriously. They're simply not believable.

How do you expect to be 'gangsta' and you have a pencil case?

Coming from Trinidad, I've met a few 'little harden rugrats' who actually have no effs to give. Like, really really. They really do not care and you have to jump through hoops and put on a performance that partially lubricates some deep part of their charred souls in order for them to give you and your content any attention.

 They come to school with their school pants shiny without a wrinkle in sight, waves on swim with a sharp haircut and a Jansport schoolbag matching their uniform. The schoolbag? EMPTY.

If you're lucky, you'll find an 'everything' book in it. A book that he uses for everything.

...but there is one thing that 'wutless' boys in Trinidad never bring to class. Stationery. That shows the depth of their nonchalance for their education. "I'm coming to hear but you have to be sayin' something real interesting for me to take notes" is basically what they are saying.

 Do you know how much you have to don't care about your education for you to consistently come to school without anything to write with? That's a basic part of the school arrangement. You come. I teach. You take notes and try to learn. Everyday you get dressed and come to school with the guarantee that you are going to learn absolutely nothing that day? Fascinating.

How do I know? Because I'm the teacher they come to daily for "a pencil borrow."

 "Everyday someone lends you a pencil and you come the next day without it, Tyrone? Get it together."

He would put that pencil behind his ear and parade around the school as though he's on the runway quicker than he'd come to class with that pencil.

And here you are in Japan.
With your pencil case filled with stationery.
Trying to convince us that you really don't care about all of this.
Okay, Haruto, no problem.
Just forgive me if I'm not intimidated.

Textual Analysis of Sam Selvon’sThe Cricket Match

Linguistics complements the study of Literature. One site even went on to illustrate that if “Literature is like a drink. Linguistics is like analyzing its ingredients, where they are mined and possibly the politics of mining” (Quora). One might add that Linguistics is also the study of the ingredients and how they get together to perform the functions that they do i.e. to hold the entire drink together among other functions . Discourse Analysis is a branch of Linguistics. The University of Sheffield states, “Discourse can be defined as language beyond the level of a sentence, language behaviours linked to social practices and language as a system of thought. Discourse Analysis (DA) is a modern discipline of the social sciences that covers a wide variety of different socio - linguistic approaches” (University of Sheffield).Literary Linguistics is an integral part to Discourse Analysis . It is the study of literature from a linguistic perspective. Literary Linguistics is the

Okinoshima Dream

Why did you come to Oki? One month into my life on this mind-blowingly beautiful but remote island and this question is soon in succession after the initial greeting.  My simplified answer is: SAFETY. Oki is extremely safe and unfortunately, Trinidad is not.  In my interview for this programme, the same question was asked of Japan (Why do you want to go to Japan?) and my answer was the same. I've grown up hearing about how long ago in Trinidad, people would leave their doors open and if you dropped something, a stranger would not steal it but hunt you down to return it. We were always told of how neighbours lived together in harmony and there was no violence. This coupled with religious teachings that things are getting worse worldwide because we are near the time of the end caused me to believed that extreme violence was a constant all over the world and peace was a thing of the past. It was, in a sense, the natural progression of things.  I accepted that I would have no

My Greatest Challenge

-
I'm used to kids running to me and getting hugs from all different directions. I'm used to sweet smiles and clear understanding. This hasn't been the case in Japan. There is a lot of misunderstanding between us. They look at me curiously, I smile and then they run away. I understand why but it still stings a bit. I look different. In a nation that  places so much emphasis on sameness, my deviation is jarring. Further, the language barrier creates an even wider divide. This isn't just a job about teaching English. It's about opening little hearts and minds to see the beauty and even, safety, in differences. I ,like all foreigners here, carry not only the weight of my reputation but that of my entire race, country, region and foreigners as a whole. I carry it proudly as a gift to be entrusted with this responsibility. I'm here to create and change perceptions. It may not be done through a focused lesson but through words and actions outside the classroom as
