Right Round

Year round schools are better to in my opinion. You have your free time and still work throughout the year. Schools continue to operate 180 days per year. They stretch out the 180 days over the entire year and take shorter breaks between each term. Year round school can be a problem for some people. Not for students but for teachers also. They could have a baby at home and it could be difficult to find a babysitter for 2 weeks every 6 weeks. Kids tend to forget a lot during the summer…

In a castle in England, ruled over by a young King Arthur, a strange green Knight appears before Arthur and his knights. This odd giant of a man commands one knight to come fourth and attempt to behead himself (the green Knight), in exchange that the green knight be allowed to return the courtesy. Furthermore, Arthur stands up, somewhat insulted, and volunteers for the challenge laid fourth by the green knight, however, fearing for the life of his young King, another knight; whom goes by the…

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain went through test’s to test his worthy and his knight traits. Gawain suffered through the tests. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight there are three major tests references according to the theme; however, Gawain accepts the Green Knight challenge, also Gawain struggles by proving himself, but Gawain also didn’t allow the lord’s wife seduce him. Gawain accepts the Green Knight’s challenge and then tried to cut off the Green Knight head. However, it…

Who Would Triumph? Europeans and Japanese never met, but their cultures are very alike. They both had Feudalism systems. Feudalism is a way of ranking people based on how they live their life and how rich they are. In Europe, their feudal system was very similar to the one in Japan. They both had rulers. They both had landowners and land protectors. Both of them also had warriors. Of course, they both had peasants, artisans and merchants. But if Samurai and Knights ever met who would triumph?…

succumbed despite him facing major tests against it like his confidence, seduction from women other than his wife, and his desire to survive. Seeing as though Sir Gawain was timid and fearful at first, he took it upon his self to fight the Green Knight right before the king took his strike. Sir Gawain began to…

Should all public schools switch to going year round? There are multiple schools that are transferring to teaching all year round. Though there are some benefits, there are also many downfalls to this idea. For example, families with kids in different schools operating on different tracks could have a tough time scheduling day care or family vacations (Nair). This is one reason along with many others. Such as, grades might fall in the warmer weather when students typically have a break.…

beginning of Green Knight we see that Gawain has shown chivalry when he chooses to take the place of Arthur. In the end of Green Knight we see chivalry with Gawain keeping his word with the Green Knight. In Arthur we see chivalry when he creates the round table for him and all his knights. In the the tales they both have chivalry from many knights, it shows how all knights live the chivalry code.…

In Kimberly Kalil’s article, the pros and cons of year-round education are discussed in detail, incorporating ethos to further the rhetoric of the argument to make it more effective. In the section of the article based on the benefits of year-round education, the rhetoric is particularly well-suited for those who do not know much about the advantages of year-round education and allows for a strong argument from a reliable source to be conveyed, this source being Dr. Matthew Lynch. The use of…

However, this view must be discredited when considering the central issue; that Gauvain’s adventures mirror, contrast and shed new light on Perceval’s and comparing their quests and actions is fruitful when understanding their characters. Most fundamentally, the natures of their quests differ. Perceval is almost a wanderer, stumbling into the Fisher King whilst purely aiming to return to his mother, suddenly saddled with a quest much bigger than himself. Gauvain in contrast defends the honour of…

to be loved and nurtured by their mother, so they trusted her commands. This resulted not only in the hatred for Arthur (that would later only grow stronger) but also the actions they blindly committed for their mother with no concept of what was right and what was wrong. Another example relative to this theme is when Morgause manipulates Arthur, her half brother, into sleeping with her. Despite being half siblings, Morgause charms Arthur into falling in love with her, and conceives a child-- a…
