In the article, I could find various elements of humanism during the Renaissance. But I wrote five of them and I’ll soon tell you why!

Have you experienced inequality because you were born so? In many foreign countries, I felt like that because I’m born as an Asian. In medieval Europe, many people experienced inequality because they were born as a peasant or what. But in the Renaissance period, people were evaluated with their individual abilities so, it encouraged to work more hard to live a better life. If could change my quality of life by working hard, I would definitely work hard so, I gave rank 5.

Some math problems are uneasy to solve. But when observe the problem carefully, I can sometimes find the right answer. Humanists also emphasized observation and experimentation and it led to academic success, so I can say it actually is a main element of humanism and I rated as rank 4.

When I ask about something constantly by myself, even a very normal thing, I can understand it and get more deep knowledge. Humanists also questioned everything and made academic success. I thought questioning everything does really help getting knowledge so I gave rank 5.

Do you like history? Maybe not me. But people at that period hunted for ancient Greek and Roman culture and learned a lot from them. For me, I’m not a history person, I didn’t agree this that much so, I gave rank 2.

Imagine many laws are based in religion. I don’t wanna imagine that, there will be so many innocent prisoners. So at the period, Renaissance thinkers made effort to keep balance between religion and laws and I thought it was important, I gave rank 4.

You know what? I didn’t knew that but I’m 80% humanist, (5+4+5+2+4)/5 x100=80(%)

A tasty weapon

Words of my found poem are from the story called “Lamb to the Slaughter” from Roald Dahl. The name of my found poem is “A tasty weapon” which is written by me, Steven. The conflict I tried to show was the internal conflict of Mary and herself. So that means, the protagonist and the antagonist are both Mary herself. Patrick, her husband, says to Mary that he wants to get divorced and Mary got shocked so she killed Patrick and thinks so fast because of her unborn child. She thought and thought and got the result of cooking the leg of the lamb and acting to the police that she wasn’t the one who killed Patrick for her child. My  poem shows this concept on the 11th row~end by adapting the highlights of the story. The background of my poem is the picture of the scene of right before Mary killed Patrick and it gives tension to readers.
