Robb Stark: The King Who Fought

Improved Essays
Lords and Ladies of the North, we are here to honour the memory of our great leader who was robbed of his life by those accursed Southerners.
Our king, our friend, our fearless general, Robb Stark, first of his name, headed our revolution against the corrupted, false king who sits on his pretty throne down in the rat’s nest of King’s Landing. Robb Stark was a brave man, who did not deserve to die at such a young age, because he reminded the South that the North was not to be trifled with, and was a good, honest king to his people. The king in the North lived for the North and died for the North, and he will always be remembered for his sacrifice.
Our noble lord was a peace-loving man, but when war came knocking he was quick to call his banners to protect his people. His bravery in the face of an odious foe, those Lannisters and their hired army, will secure his place in history as “The King Who Fought”.

With every victory, he showed those fat lords what the North was made of. His courage in the face of adversity inspired us all.
Despite his age, the boy knew what he was doing on the battlefield. Many of us were there the day he slayed ten Lannister men on the back of his horse. Even though he was notorious for his prowess as a capable warrior, most of us came to know him to be kind-hearted and generous. Many times would he come through the camp and speak with his soldiers instead of holing himself up with his finery like other kings might. He brought food to the sick and honoured fallen men who died for our cause. He respected his people and his people respected

    Sometimes the clearest method of defining what something should be is by juxtaposing it with something that is the opposite. In literature, authors often use the literary device of a foil to convey the central theme of the story. The foil is effective because it shows both the good and the bad versions of people that share the same status or position in life, yet they develop differently. Shakespeare uses foils in many of his plays to depict the theme, however, Henry V is one of the obvious plays that this is true of. Shakespeare communicates that humility is integral to a righteous leader through the use of the Dauphin as a foil to Henry in Henry V. The way that Henry and the prince of France interact with the men beneath them shows the quality of their leadership skills.…

    Introduction The Civil War was the deadliest war in American History, killing 620,000 people (n.a., civilwar.org, n.d.).

Others claim the Emancipation Proclamation was a final jab to undermine the Confederacy; that the war centered on states’ rights versus national legislation (Horwitz, theatlantic.com, 2013). Thousands of memorials and monuments stand throughout the eastern United States to commemorate the dead.…
