A drop of sweat fell down the Knights face as he imagined the disappointed look on his father's face when he told him that he was going to break the contract, and not follow through with becoming a…

Upon the middle ages (400 to 1400 A.C) lived the samurai, the loyal warriors of Japan, and the knights, the religious warriors of Europe. Though they may be on opposite sides of the world, they do not acknowledge each other’s existence, similarities were mere coincidences, and the two display little correlation among each other. The knights and samurai differentiated upon their training, had dissimilar loyalty policies and codes, and diverse perspectives of death. Although the samurai and…

Critics may say that the samurai and knights…

Three things that all these soldiers have in common is they will always fight for the protection of their people and never be influenced by money, they will follow orders no matter how crazy or difficult they may be, and they will never show that they are afraid in the heat of battle.
