was commanding the vanguard of a combat team leaving a patrol base to conduct a night operation in the Zharay district. Shortly after our departure and ‘shake-out’ into formation, my command vehicle was hit by a Command-Wired IED that defeated the armour and safety systems aboard our Light Armoured Vehicles. The initial blast and subsequent fire that spread to the ammunition and explosives we were carrying generated three Killed-in-Action (KIA) and three Wounded- in-Action (WIA) personnel. All…

couldn't specify exactly who committed the final act concerning Becket's body; whereas Grim and Fitzstephen were easily able to as they had been present at the time. On the other hand, these men were knights. Knights have to have special equipment and armour for fighting therefore Hugh Mauclerc - with his visor down - may have seemed like another knight and that knight may have seemed like Hugh Mauclerc. Consequently, we cannot be certain. In summary, all three of the sources took slightly…

Have you ever thought why Beowulf goes on these adventurous quests? Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, is a brave, energetic, and thoughtful person.

When I was four years old, my mom got remarried to a man named John Speer, and when I was five and a half, they had my little brother, Johntravis. My stepdad was my knight in shining armour, and he changed my viewpoint on the world for the better. I knew my dad loved me, but John showed me a Godly love. His love taught me how to see everyone the way that God sees him/her. I now see the world as a broken place that can do nothing for…

in the battlefield. Compassionate Patroklos sheds tears in-front of stone-hearted Achilleus who makes fun of him by saying, “Why then/ are you crying like some poor little girl, Patroklos” (16.6). Moreover, the statement of Patroklos “Give me your armour to wear on my shoulders into fighting; / so perhaps the Trojans might think I am you, and give / way from their attack” (16.40-42) signifies an outset of a strange transformation of Patroklos as well.

soul, and knowest me better than these men can. I will not lose the child! Speak for me!” and then “There is truth in what she says,” began the minister, with a voice sweet, tremulous, but powerful, insomuch that the hall reëchoed, and the hollow armour rang with it,—“truth in what Hester says, and in the feeling which inspires her! God gave her the child”. Dimmesdale doesn’t act until called upon by Hester. This shows his heroine nature and lack of involvement unless acted upon by…

“Nor have I seen a mightier men-at-arms on this earth that the one standing here:unless I am mistaken, he is truly noble. This is no more hanger-on in a hero’s armour.” (244-251 Beowulf) The epic poems of Beowulf and Gilgamesh are two old english stories that have similar, yet differentiating, heroes that partake in journeys that seem more than humanly possible. Both are of very famous literature that have been apart of English history for centuries. The factors that are of most obvious in their…
