Times are tough. we are desperate. We have to do something. We have recently just won, that’s right, won a jousting championship. We won because we found Sir Ector dead under the tree after he took a nasty blow in his final joust. Sir Ector was in prime position to win his championship but unfortunately as I said he died under the tree. So William Thatcher not thinking got in Sir Ector’s armor and jousted in his place so if he won he could take the winnings, all he had to do was stay on his horse and he had won, he did so, so we all spilt the winnings which was very nice, but, William came up with this crazy idea that instead of splitting all the winnings we pay for him to get good training. So that he could go onto win bigger competitions and get bigger winnings that we could all split. For some un-known reason I agreed to it.
William began training a few weeks ago and is improving at a rapid pace. While travelling down a road, some random writer walked passed all of us, naked.
This writer ended up writing William and patence of nobility so William is now ‘Sir Ulrike’. This is a very key part of our ability to compete in competitions because if you do not have a patence of nobility you cannot compete.
‘Sir Ulrike’ has recently just completed his first joust and in a stunning act he won.
On his way to his sword fight, shortly after his joust, some evil, evil men intercepted him, wanting money from our writer. All this
Knights tale Throughout the era of classical films, Hollywood was often guilty of what many contemporary Americans generally see as a prejudice; for instance, women were mostly objects and mostly there for the often faultless and ever masculine hero to save, while characters of different cultures other than White Americans were portrayed as ignorant or comical, many times even with White actors (think of the “Middle-Eastern” characters in Lawrence of Arabia or Sinbad), and every story centered…
or to cool it down with the air conditioning. The only time that we light lanterns or fires are when we go out camping, so we bring fire wood, and other equipment¡¦s to cook with, such as a small gas stove. This tale, consisting of four parts, tells the story of two knights named Arcite and Palamon who put their lives on the line for the hand of the lady they both love, Emelye. A few questions might be raised about William’s tendency to seem more well-spoken and slightly better-educated than…
Spencer Weiss Mr. Smalley English IV 13 January 2015 The Knight’s Tale / The Miller's Tale Essay In both The Knight’s Tale , and The Miller’s Tale , Chaucer makes very clear his views and beliefs about women's social status and their role in society. It is no secret that women in this period of time were considered to be inferior to men. Their roles in society included cooking, cleaning, and caring for children. Although there is evidence that Chaucer may also believe that these tasks should…
Wife of Baths Tale and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, two characters are roughly mirror images of each other. The old woman from Chaucer’s tale and the Green Knight from the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight both have the same character archetype. From both these stories we get a character that has the motive to persuade someone to do a task and then test the faithfulness of the character persuasion was put upon.

as a knight in medieval times. Sworn to fight and defend the code of Chivalry, and the entire honor that comes with it. There are many archetypes of the knight in shining armor, but you are a far more battle hardened warrior than the tin cans of those legends. Speaking of knights, of the knights in Sir Gawain and the Green knight and the knight in the Wife of Baths tale, the Wife of Baths knight is more loyal to his code during the story than any other knight in the Canterbury tales. Knights back…
Ryan Sebastian Mr. Laverty British Literature March 23, 2012 A Tale with Meaning Throughout history, books have always been a popular form of entertainment. Ever since the days of the first writing systems in ancient Mesopotamia, writing has always entertained us with stories and indulged our minds by taking us on adventures—some of which we would never be able to go on in our earthly bodies (as well as being used to relay valuable information). Writing has always told the story of a people and…
The Three D’s. In the Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer writes about thirty characters, but one stands out: the Wife of Bath. The Wife of Bath is one of the livelier and more enthusiastic characters on the pilgrimage. From the General Prologue and the prologue to her tale, we can see that she has extreme views about women and marriage especially in this time period when women listened rather than debated. The prologues also depict an unattractive Wife of Bath: her gapped teeth and wide forehead…
27, 2013 The Folk-Tale Formula Joseph Campbell once said “myth is the secret opening through which the inexhaustible energies of the cosmos pour into human cultural manifestation” (p.3). Myths have been a part of mankind since the dawn of man. Religion, mythology, and even fairy tales all encompass the idea that there is more to the universe than what we see. Religion uses mythology to help explain the unknown, such as where we came from and where we go when we die. Fairy tales are used to relay…
