- part 5
- 1 appeal
- 2 overcoming

- 6 unarmed
- 7 threat
- 8 lone
- the lone gunman - “lone” before nouns
- the gunman was alone - “alone” after linking verbs (verbs that can connect nouns with adjectives)
- She looks good. (okay, because “look” is a linking verb)

- Adjectives like “alone”, “alive”, “awake”, don’t go before nouns.

- Are there other words you didn’t understand in the reading?
- medieval = adjective about the middle ages (between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance)
- romanticize = make something romantic
- appealing = attractive
- ---
- part 6
- 1 “Bushido” section, after the last sentence (“his words” refers to the quotation in the article)
- 2 “Samurai history”, after “might never have existed” (“these men” refers to the wealthy landowners)
- 3 “Samurai identity”, after “theater” (“also” means Go must be after some other things the samurai did)
- 4 “Samurai today”, after “TV dramas” (this is an example of a movie, so should come after the sentence about movies)
- ---
- p. 146 part 7 and 8 - What do the expressions with “go” mean? (Choose the correct option in part 7 and explain in your own words in part 8.)
