In medieval times, when knights fought for honor and maidens were simple spectators of matters that were deemed too demanding for them, there existed an extolled code of chivalry that men were expected to live by. Knights were supposed to be brave, loyal, honest, generous, and kind. They were expected to defend the weak, be fair to their opponents, and respect women.

He would stay…

A chivalric code is a set of moral rules, that a knight vows to follow and enforce during the Middle Ages. A knight of the Medieval period is flawed, but by following the code he can be unsullied. According to the “Song of Roland”, a knight must “serve the liege lord “in valour and faith, at all time speak the truth, refrain from the wanton giving of offense, and to respect the honour of women” by following these codes a knight can stay on the right tracks to stay morally correct. In “The Wife…

When I was younger I was a spoiled only child for only a few years. I was the center of mommy and daddies attention, and I got what I wanted whenever I wanted. Until four short years later when they decided to bring along another child, my baby sister. I was excited at first because I would have someone to play with all the time, but soon my feelings changed the wrong direction. People don’t realize the words they say can hurt for a lifetime.
