Medieval Times

This is one of my favorite units in English. I love reading about all the battles and kings and knights. It is itneresting to see how the past was. It always makes me wonder what it would be like to live in that time. My favorie stories are about Sir Gawain and King Arthur. It is amazing how loyal Sir Gawain was King Arthur. I found the story about Sir Gawain and Ragnellto be the most compelling story. All men need to learn to treat ladies like Sir Gawain and the Knights of the Round table. "It is not a choice I cannot make, my dear Ragnell. It concerns you. Whatever you choose to be..." (Sir Gawain and the Lady Ragnell, p. 24). Everything in this time was about honor, magic, violence, and chivalry. The accounts of these times are one of my favorite subjects to read about. "He was by reputation, the bravest in battle, the wisest, the most courteous....) "Sir Gawain and the Lady Ragnell, p 20). If only I could be as brave, strong, smart, and respectful as Gawain. The ladies would be all over me.
