Not true. Haiku is literature. And the way you have discussed these forms suggests a similar tradition as a literature. This sort of discussion needs to be developed here and throughout these early pages. You must link the ideas in the written sections.

Like many cultures, in Japan, what you wear portrays a message, especially throughout history.Your kimono (着物), which literally translates to "Wear Thing", could indicate age, gender, marital status, class, occupation and more. There were different kimono for different occasionas and some familial lines even had special patterns/ colors to indicate their members
This is a great inclusion but needs to be explained and directly linked to written culture.

Not to belabor the point, but this is a place in the video that you can annotate and discuss. I also think that you can have a few nesting paths to "deep dive" on these specific topics a bit more.

Now that you have a basic understanding of what "vernacular"
This is why those videos need to be broken down and discussed instead of just uploaded. You can't rely on your reader to figure out what the vernacular is and why it is important to your topic, argument, and scope of your topic.

This is a HUGE question and one that needs to be broken down in a proper, written section. Again, can you annotate parts of the video and paraphrase others for better integration and use of the information? It's a little too hands-off to be effectively used as evidence. The video (and the previous) are great resources; they just need to be treated a bit more.

Also, in terms of evidence, this is a long video to make a reader watch (and to USE effectively). I would annotate parts of it (maybe 2 that you can include in your written description), then have a page that is pathed to the entire video.

will also grant another perspective on how golden ages are made and what they represent.
How? Again, what is desirable about this medium? And what makes it particularly important when discussing the golden age and pastoral? You can be a little theoretical here, too. If the golden age is a time of prosperity--a time that has never truly occurred--how does the artificial space of the video game appeal to this?

What is this role? Again, you are building upon information that you ave yet to define or sketch out.

This discussion of video games needs to be more detailed and bette integrated into the above discussion.

For your Scalar book, this may be better off as a separate page...
-
I have found articles and multimodal media that offer ways to help define either the historical or pastoral golden age
Again, the content of these articles is more important than knowing they exist. Replace the play-by-play with concepts--what are these definitions and how do they relate?
Also, in this sort of medium, you can use hyperlinks or paths to take you to fuller discussions. But in the traditional final paper, you will have to include these ideas in the main body of the paper.
-
to further research into how they are connected.
At this stage, you should be stating what you have found, not what your plan is/was.
-
confusion arose within me
Here is another instance where you are replacing analysis with impression/reaction (your narrative). This is detrimental to your explanation as you are leaving out crucial pieces of information (i.e. why this discrepancy is significant or worth considering). Essentially, you are passing over your rationale.
-
With Marinelli saying
Is this from the passage? If so, put the direct sections in quotations (to still use his language) and indicate that you are referring back to this passage by saying so ("As the above passage suggests...").
-
Marinelli additionally states that after the golden age, there were degenerate eras (silver, bronze, iron) which showed the degradation of men into warmongers.
In what context does he say this? To what does he refer? Maybe a stronger transition into this idea id necessary?
-
here also could not have been a golden age
You're a bit off here. What you seem to be discussing here are the idiomatic ways that the idea and term the "golden age" has been used. Talking about a "golden age" of something means an idyllic time of progress and "wealth" or "richness" (this doesn't have to be monetary). What your project seems to be grappling with is how does this sort of term/usage relate to the actual, literary version of the golden age as we have been discussing in relation to the pastoral. You need to be clearer about the parameters of your scope and how the various moving parts work together.
-
“human life [was] conceived in terms of the contemplative and the recreative rather than in terms of the active” is a myth.
You need a citation for this quote (I'm assuming it is Marinelli). Also, explain the passage. As we have discussed in class numerous times, first explain the passage THEN contextualize it in the immediate discussion. You have not done either of these here. Please consider this comment with all other directly quoted or paraphrased passages after this one.
-
golden age was a time when a nation was prospering in its culture and science
See above comment about definition. Even with a more personal narrative, logically you need to state what the concept is THEN why it was so different/surprising/enlightening.
-
always leaves a slight headache and glimmering eyes
I know you spoke of a more narrative voice in this assignment (which is acceptable to a point). However, turns of phrase like this one are neither helpful nor illuminating. You are replacing necessary content with description. Revise for clarity.
-
other than the one I learnt from textbooks
Which was? Again, you can't compare an unspoken or unheard of term. Your reader/audience will not follow (even if they have read the same pieces you have).
-
to see if they are distinct entities
What is the benefit of doing this? Why is this a worthwhile or desirable perspective? This needs to be explained both to develop your point, but also to initially state it.
-
pastoral versions
What is this "pastoral version"? If you are using Gifford's terminology/timeline (as you are) refer to him in your analysis. Again, it will give you the credibility of "they say" as you are making/unfolding your argument.
-
was comparing
Try and keep your voice active (using active verbs). Here, "My chosen topic compares..." It is not necessarily grammatically incorrect, but active verbs often force you to keep your language concise. If you read through these sections, you can revise this by just looking for your verbs and their tenses.
-
