So I've been through a hundred Heisig stories now, which is enough to know that some of these stories really work, many of these early ones I no longer need stories for (I will never forget them), but also that for some of them, I may have better ideas for my own stories. If this blog is not a place to put them, then what is it? :)
Companion: Together for two months!
Stomach: You can put all the rice you get (from the fields) in a month in your stomach—yum!
Stubborn: I'm gonna read every page from the beginning (Me regarding 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 4th grade XD)
Mediocre: With that big enclosue and little drip in the middle it just looks sort of half-assed doesn't it? lol
Texture: He kind of touches on it, but a month of wind can really change the texture of something.
Bull's eye: This one is a weird story, but I sort of like to think of it as ladling the white paint onto the bull's eye....
Fish guts: Are squiggly. The end.
Tool: Keep your eye on your tools (or you'll lose them)
True: Use a (magic) needle as a tool—look through the eye and you'll see what's true.
Bribe: He goes as far as possessed by shellfish, but "clams" (a type of shellfish) is slang for dollars, so that can help even more.
Tribute: Support someone's craft by paying (clams/dollars/shellfish) tribute.
Paragraph: I know it's bad, but I sort of think of the thing on the side as an indent. So its' like you're indenting the page to start the paragraph.
Blade: It's a sword with a slash through it, like a blade makes...
Seduce/beckoning: Honestly, this makes me think kuchisakeonna. With the sword (slashed) mouth, she's beckoning to little kids...
Shining: Seducing of the sun! You don't need to think of a shoeshine to think that seducing the sun makes things shine :)
Village: Can be simplified to just the fact that rice fields plus streets = village.
Place on the head/humble acceptance: He explains all this stuff about nails and heads, but doesn't just say, "I humbly accept the fact that you are correct -- you nailed it right on the head."
Complete: I just think it's hilarious that he manages to make a kid with no arms mean complete LOL That hilarity alone is enough to remember this by XD
Likeness: So dirty.
That's all for now. I have to go eat Mexican food with b-b-brown RICE!
