Most students read and participate in discussions concerning the subject before writing an essay about the topic. Profs don't randomly say "Write about this lol". Maybe you should have paid more attention in your class.

And even if it is a random research topic, go to your school library. Don't ask a weeaboo image board. Students like you are why college is a joke.

Discuss what they did during Hideyoshi period to Tokogawa period. In the sense, they were a class same as scholars, which during time of peace, they practice penmenship along with their sword expertise. Loyal to the Shogun. Try something in this mess I came up with.

Samurai, The Essay.

I was in class when we started to learn about japan. Of Course, I was sleeping. So as far as I can tell, This is what the samurai is all about.
They were a bunch of guys that fought for some other guy, who worked for a boss. They rode horses, and shot people with arrows. They had swords, and from what I heard, They could cut people in half with them.
They were all gay. They married for children only.
If they shamed themselves, they killed themselves.
The end.

Use a Yari or Naginata and you got a dead man with a claymore 7 feet away. Apparently yari's were used quite often in battle more than katanas in fields. In cities,towns ,indoor, forests, and smaller areas, katanas/wakizashi, and sometimes naginatas were used.
