Marco Polo (1254-1334), the famous Venetian adventurer, started to travel to the East in1271, went through Asia via Mongolia and came back to Europe via Sumatra after spending thirteen years in the service of Kublai Khan (1216-1294). In Vietnamese Kubai Khan is known as Hot Tat Liet . He was the founder of the Mongol dynasty in China ( Dai Nguyen ). His grandfather Genghis Khan is known in Vietnamese as Thanh Cat Tu Han Marco Polos book Description of the World Il Milione in Italian or also translated as The Travels of Marco Polo) told of his adventures to the East. At the time of Marco Polos departure from Europe in 1271, Vietnam was under the reign of King Tran Thanh Tong (1256-1278). Most of what constitutes modern central Vietnam belonged then to the Kingdom of Champa under King Indravarman. Champas capital Indrapura would be ransacked by the Vietnamese in the 15 th century and Champa annexed to Vietnam. That same year of 1271, Kublai Khan conquered China from the Sung dynasty, and sent emissaries to request the Vietnamese King to go to China to attend the Chinese imperial court as a sign of submission. Tran Thanh Tong declined the invitation under the pretext of poor health. War erupted between the two countries in 1284 under King Tran Nhan Ton; Vietnamese forces were under the command of the famous general Hung Dao Vuong Tran Quoc Tuan. The Chinese offensive was under the command of General Thoat Hoan; another front against Champa was under General

Extractions: HOTU-PUKU: a taniwha (dragon). Travellers between the districts of Rotorua and Taupo were disappearing. The Taupo people assumed a war party was waylaying the travellers and sent out a war party to fight them. In Kapenga they found a taniwha called Hotu-puku and fled. A new party, set out to Kapenga. They hung up a noose, and a man called Pitaka acted as bait, going through the noose. As soon as Hotu-puku, the taniwha, put his head through the noose, it was pulled tight until he died. Hotu-puku was cut open, and the bodies of the people he had eaten were found. After burying the bodies, Hotu-puku was cooked and eaten. PEKE-HAUA: is a water taniwha who lived in Te Waro-uri, a deep water-hole in New Zealand. Following Pitaka's exploits with slaying of Hotu-puku, he was summoned to Te Awan-hou to slay another taniwha, called Peke-haua. Pitaka and his companions wove traps out of vines, before descending into the chasm. When Peke-haua was asleep, Pitaka swam down to him, and tied a rope around him, before quickly escaping. Using spells to aid them, they pulled the taniwha up, so that they could kill him. KATAORE: was a cave dwelling taniwha living near the settlement Rotorua, in the Tiki-tapu district. Pitaka and his companions slayed Kataore. However, this taniwha was the pet of chief Tangaroa-mihi, who was enraged by the death of his pet, and made war on the killers.

Extractions: ~ T H E M E S ~ Death: Death appears in many guises. Through this theme, loss can be explained and/or described in various forms. No matter what the form is, the representation always reflects the permanent absence of someone or something. Butler writes about death in several different ways. Sometimes death is literal: the expiration of life. Sometimes death is a type of foreshadowing: showing the death of one, thereby hinting at the death of another. Sometimes death is merely a gauge for measuring differences. Sometimes death represents removal from a specific type of life. The different representations of death connect to each other through the fact that Vietnam and the Vietnamese experienced so much death. Death became commonplace and easy and life became difficult. no life was complete without some type of death attached to it in one way or another. Examples of these representations of the theme of death occur in: " Open Arms Mr. Green The Trip Back A Ghost Story ... Preparation ," and " A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain Family: A sense of and connection to family has always been important in Vietnamese culture. In fact, until the Vietnam War, there were no orphanages in Vietnam because family members took care of each other. This importance of family is reflected in ancestor worship, where the living pray for the peace of the dead of the family. This importance is also shown in the reverence given to the elder members of a family. Family stories bring together members of the same family while also helping to form connections with people who have similar family stories. Peace within the family is emphasized, and family reputation is extremely important, sometimes more important than an individual's reputation. Some of the stories which have the theme of family are: "

Extractions: The opening sentence of this story reminds me of Coming Home . The narrator talks about "los[ing his] wife to another man, a cripple" (1). This is similar to Bob losing Sally to Luke (link to on-line discussion board for topic on Coming Home ). Also, the story brings up the subject of nationality. The narrator describes the differences between the Americans and the Australians: the Americans destroy everything in order to set up camp and the Australians merely throw up a tent under a tree and adapt to their surroundings (2). Plus, the narrator mentions the "Citroën sedans," which are French cars, showing the remaining French influence.

Myth Of The Watermelon - Su Tich Trai Dua Hau

http://www.geocities.com/~wingsof100viet/watermelon2.htm

Extractions: New Year '98 - Tet Mau Dan '98 (Continued) After several months, those seeds grew into young plants creeping on sand and became green spherical-shaped fruits. An-Tiem immediately cut a fruit in halves and saw it had a red color. He tasted it and found out that it was very sweet and watery. Then, he planted more fruits. He used a sharp stick to carve his name, the way to get to the island on the outside of fruits and put them on the sea so they could flow everywhere. Merchant ships passed by and found those fruits. The merchants tried those fruits and liked them. They immediately got to the island and traded rice, clothes...for fruits so they could sell them. An-Tiem named that kind of fruit Watermelon. Rumors about the Watermelon were heard by emperor Hung. He knew how skillful An-Tiem was and ordered him and his family to come back to land. This time, the emperor rewarded An-Tiem and advised him to teach other people how to plant watermelons. Since that time, Van-Lang had another kind of fruit to eat and to sell. When the New Year arrives, every Vietnamese family celebrates it with watermelons because watermelons are a part of Vietnamese traditions.

Extractions: Voices ... YO! Date: 09-27-95 Anti-technology feelings are running high these days, not just in the sentiments expressed by the Unabomber but among many ordinary Americans who believe technological progress means more lonely, isolated people. But Vietnamese Americans offer a different experience. For them, high tech has fused the future with the past. PNS editor Andrew Lam is a Vietnamese American reporter and short story writer living in the Bay Area. SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA In his high tech lair full of humming computers and lilting modems, a Vietnamese American friend prophesizes my future. "You will become a workaholic and have tragic romances," he sighs as he contemplates the stars and comets swirling around the hour and date of my birth. "On the other hand, you will always be surrounded by great and intelligent friends." Coming from a Ph.D. from MIT who in his off-hours designs software programs for horoscopes, who was I to argue? My friend works as a computer scientist in Silicon Valley, but he finds no contradiction between his daytime occupation and nighttime hobby. In fact to him, and to many Vietnamese immigrants in America, they mesh. While many native-born Americans blame technology the ATM, automated gas pumps, the home shopping network for breaking down community and family ties, many Asian immigrants will tell you it has had the reverse effect on their lives. Not long ago the ocean was vast, homesickness was an incurable malady, and the immigrant had little more than memories to keep cultural ties alive. Today jumbo jets have shrunk the ocean; the camcorder shows grandma back home what life is like in America; and the newly arrived needs only the fax machine and a satellite dish pointed skyward to keep abreast of developments back home.
