Aurthurian Legend

How does the authruian legend withstand though many years? Why is it being taught today? How has it not faded away like many other legends did? The arthurian legend has been around for many years. It has many different interpretations, and many different films and pieces. THese stories have so much detail to them. They have a hero that comes out of no where. The love between a man and a woman. All different types of midevil romance.

For example, one of the most famous ones of all time, T.H. Whites the once and future king. This is a great story about Arthurs tavel to become a king. He was just a young boy, and neve was expected of anything. they looked down apon him and thought he was nothing. It shows how arthur never gave up and became everything he could be. He rose up from nothing into the greatest king alive. "I will ride post, mate, so that the candle will burn" (White 637)

Another huge example of this was sir gawain and the green knight. This showed a lot about overcoming challenges. Gawain was never expected of anything, until his kingdom had a visiter, the green knight. He had to go through all the the knights challenges and prove himself worthy to be able to save his kingdom and prove to the king his loyalty. In the end he was loyal. The knight let him keep his life and left the kingdom alone. This is huge. It shows how gawain came from nothing to prove himself loyal to the king and to save his kingdom. THis also shows the love of a king and a queen. Gawain and the lady of the castle. SHe kept trying to seduce him and get his love. " a truce i'll tie you to your bed" (pg 87)

The excalabir was a huge movie that related to this. It showed how arthur was just a squire. He always forgot everything and never did anything right. The one day he forgot his lords sword and had to go back to find it. A young boy ran off with it, so he went over to the excalaber and pulled it out of the stone. No one has ever done this before. Only the right person for the job couldve done this. And he did. Everyone was amazed and he now has overcome everything. He use to be just a young squire and now has amazed everyone into being a king. "A good qruire never forgets his lords sword"

All of these great films and stories all relate to the arthurian legend. They show midevil romance from becoming a lord when not expected to and showing the love of a king and a queen. THese stories have been around for centuries and will still keep going. THere are many different translations of it that all relate to the same thing. THese stories will forever be taught and the Arthurian Legend will live on forever.

Medevil romance

I dont reall like all these medevil romance books/short stories. It's really just not what i am interested in. I dont find the language in which they are wrote easy to read. I need something simplier, maybe im just slow. Sir Gawain is not a bad poem. It is probably the only piece from the midevil romance that i like so far, probably because it might be the only one that i've read. But hey atleast I'm reading it. I think the adventure. How its starting how by challenges and stuff. Thats what im into. I like the adventure, fighting, challenges, all of that stuff. Also im starting to like this book because i like the cockyness, if thats a word, of the giant. It makes me want to keep reading. All of the other passages i did not like because they didn tkeep me entertained or into the story at all.

"No, not fighting: believe me prince. These benches are filled with beardledd infants. Wearing myh armor, there's no muscle in this hall to match me" (pg 56)

I choose the second book cover as the best one that fits this book. It is an image of ben. Right from when he was born all they said is how much of a troll he looked and how his image was creepy. That it like ben's image. A guy standing there, looking creepy. IT fits ben's descriptiion right from the first day he was born. HE would always get down right before he was going to get into trouble. This is ben's signature. He freaked out his whole family. THey all thought something was wrong with him since day one. They knew there was something different about him. That is why the second cover fits this perfectly.

Reaction To Frankenstein

This book is a little weird. Who tries to create another creation just to show you can. Victor is trying to play god. Then after he creates the first creature the creature is lonely. He acts out in anger and kills victors friend. Then he asks victor to create a mate for him so he isnt lonely and the creature promises to dissappear into south america and never be seen again. Victor says yes at first, then changes his mind and kills the new mate. Frankenstein is enraged and kills again, but this time he makes it look like Victor has done it. This book is a good book, but is stupid. NO ONE CAN PLAY GOD AND TRY TO CREATE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. This could never happen in real life. This is a bad choice anyway. The creature ends up doing harm to the world. The creature should never have been created.
