Right Round

the characters strive to live by and pursue even to their deaths. Chivalry itself is a religious and moral code suggesting that the ideal knight lives by truth, loyalty, respect and Christ. In the text, Sir Gawain, a chivalrous knight of Arthur’s round table, is sent on a quest to be struck by a blow after chopping off the head of the Green Knight during Christmas time. Chivalry, in this situation, dictates that Gawain should live by his word, lest he be known and ridiculed for his cowardice.…

of the funniest contradictions in today’s world is that we have a lot of feminist who also like it when men are being chivalrous. Many women claim that chivalry is dead, thus the inspiration for the title, these women also enjoy women having equal rights. The contradiction in this situation is that you cannot have real chivalry without inequality between men and women. Thankfully I’m not a bug about feminism. Though in the four main texts, Sir Gawain, The Song of Roland,…

As we have opinions that vary from person to person, the same can be said for authors. Opinions stem from experiences, external influences, and time periods that span in consistency from blatantly apparent to barely distinguishable. Different authors also varied the roles of their character according to the image they are trying to portray for said character. We can see the different roles in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by an anonymous author known as the Pearl Poet, The Wife of Bath by…

Throughout Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain, one of King Arthur’s knights, is tested on his chivalric qualities through tests. Just two of the many qualities include bravery and honesty which Sir Gawain showed through the trials. These qualities were tested by the Green Knight, who later reveals himself as Sir Bertilak. The code of honor had many superior qualities that the knights were supposed to exhibit, but it is proved to be flawed by not allowing room for human imperfections…

Flustered, Percival stood up. “Ah, all right, I’ll walk you over to the woods and you can take care of your business there.” “I have to pee real, read bad.” Rion grabbed Percival’s hand and nearly dragged him toward the woods. While Percival and the little boy raced off to the trees, Gwaine…

“Government is best which governs least” according to the article “Civil Disobedience,” by Henry David Thoreau. In this article, Thoreau also mentioned that he believes that government is best when it governs not at all. However when a government governs not at all, then there exist chaos and war. But a government that governs least is a government that many people will agree is the best type of government. This type of government allows people absolute freedom. Not freedom per say, but…

Being able to use gun for self-defense or protection is a right which can 't be denied to U.S citizens; however guns are not the only weapons available to serve the same purpose. Since guns are made to kill, one should consider alternative measures of protection out of respect for life. The statement made by Hasselstrom’s in her paper, is somewhat valid, but comes off as a very one sided opinion if regards to “gender equality” claiming that barring arms makes men and women equal. There is a…

have the same rights as us humans? If you think about this, passing a Bill of Rights for animals could go against centuries of human culture, increase the cost of food, hinder medical research, and may cause other problems. I believe that animals should not have a Bill of Rights. My first reason is that such a law would go against human culture because we as people run the world. Can animals even work, cook, clean, or even talk, think about it. Giving animals the same rights as we have…

I am Emnjundi Jacqueline Longton (call me Jackie), and this is my story. I live in the utopia of Colorum, or perhaps it is the dystopia of Colorum. Utopia is certainly what our world appears to be. We all have our jobs, our lifestyles. When we change, we can change our surroundings if we wish. Everyone is happy, except for those who are misfits. Those who don’t get along with our law. No one knows what happens to them, just that they get removed. To where? No one knows. To people in Hyacinthum,…
