Chapter 4 and Chapter 16 discuss various types of poetry as well as several theo

Chapter 4 and Chapter 16 discuss various types of poetry as well as several theories about freedom. For this assignment, you will be writing two Haiku poems (described below) from two different philosophical perspectives on freedom. Your submission should demonstrate that you: Understand the different freedom theories listed below Know the basic requirements for a haiku and how to write one What is a Haiku? Review the Literature PowerPoint for a brief description and section 4.3 Poetry of Chapter 4 in the textbook for a more detailed explanation of a haiku. Haikus are short, three-lined poems that can (but do not have to) rhyme. They have a 5-7-5 syllable scheme; the first and last lines have five syllables each and the middle line has seven syllables. Though haikus were originally developed in Japan, they are now written by authors originating from all over the world and about all sorts of subjects. Poets (and students) often find them challenging in an enjoyable way, as they provide an opportunity to exercise your mind to attempt to convey a desired message in limited space. Below are some examples of haikus. Note the syllable counts and the fact that they do not rhyme. An old silent pond… A frog jumps into the pond, splash! Silence again. –Basho Matsuo Haikus are easy But sometimes they don’t make sense Refrigerator –Author Unknown Guidelines 1. Review the different freedom theories listed below in the Freedom PowerPoint and/or in Chapter 16 of the textbook. Choose two theories you will use as a basis for your haikus. 1. Behaviorism 2. Economic Determinism 3. Institutional Determinism 4. Genetic Determinism 5. Indeterminism 6. Religious Existentialism 7. Secular (non-religious) Existentialism 2. Write two haikus (one for each of your chosen theories from the list above). Think about the theory you chose and write a haiku that is about the meaning of that theory. Do this for both of your chosen theories for a total of two haikus to turn in. Keep the points below in mind while writing your haikus: Reading your haikus, it should be clear which theories they are about. In your assignment, list the two theories you chose so that I know which ones you decided to use as a topic. Make sure you are using your space efficiently and adhering to the syllabic limitations of each line. Your poems can—but do not have to—rhyme. Unlike the second example above, they should make sense. The topic (freedom theory) and message should be clear. The message of your haiku does not have to be the literal definition of the theory; in fact, I would prefer it if you would not simply restate the definition in haiku format. Instead, I would like you to tell a (very) short story or make a brief statement about your chosen theories. If you have any questions about what I mean by this, email or course message me. I encourage you to look over the Plagiarism statement found in the Unit 1 folder. If you are found to have plagiarized, I will be forced to turn you into the school and you will automatically get a zero for this assignment. I am not grading you on your poetic abilities and genuinely want to see what your creativity and critical thinking comes up with—plagiarism is not worth the trouble, trust me. Be creative! 3. Read over your two haikus. Are the two theories you chose clear? Do they adhere to the line and syllable formatting of a haiku? Review them for any typos. You can use incomplete sentences, but your poems should contain correct spelling.
