Arts & Humanities - 5 December 2007

Ok, I've written lots, for years, for fun. But I got to thinking recently that it might be nice to finish something one day. I haven't got the attention span to write a novel, the short story sounds appealing. So how do you start one? how do you finish it? What makes people read them? Do you need to know how it will finish before you start? Any suggestions or comments welcome, thanks!

After the death of Muhammad no one knew the entire Koran by heart. Many Arabs revolted against Abu Bakr and had to be forcibly put down. The greatest opposition came from Maslama (a.k.a. Musailima) who claimed to be a prophet but was executed by Abu Bakr. Then 'Umar asked Zaid ibn Thabit to collate the Koran. The suras were arranged from longest to shortest, as even then the chronological order was imperfectly known. That codex was given to Hafsa. Other scholars also compiled their own codices. These became sources of contention because they different from one another. So,'Uthman asked Zaid to write another codex and all the others were destroyed despite a fair amount of grumbling by their compilers. The variations between the codices could not be variations of dialect, as at this point the Arabic script could not express such variations, being both unvowelled and unpointed. The distinctives of the destroyed codices have survived somewhat in oral tradition.

i've already been searching the analysis of this haiku for days. But i can't find it. Anyway the poetry goes like this:

Literal
Fu-ru (old) i-ke (pond) ya,
ka-wa-zu (frog) to-bi-ko-mu (jumping into)
mi-zu (water) no o-to (sound)
(Fumiko Saisho)

Figurative (various)
The old pond;
A frog jumps in —
The sound of the water.
(Robert Aitken)
