Throughout the story of “The Red Dragon and the White Dragon” by David Day, symbolism is used to show how the White Dragon represents the Saxons and how the Red Dragon represents the Britons. To explain, as Day retells the story of how the two dragons were discovered; he mentions that Merlin elaborates on the dragons’ fight. He retells that Merlin stated, “[the red dragon’s] dwelling place shall soon be occupied by the White Dragon, who is the Saxons you have welcomed into your kingdom.” Moveover, the White Dragon, as a symbol, is used to warn the Britons that the Saxons, who they have let into their country, are a dangerous threat. Thus, they are warned that the Saxons are harsh opponents that will defeat them in battle.
I can infer that the people of Vietnam are very brave. In paragraph two of section one, “The Chinese Dragon”, the author states that “the Vietnamese were anything but peaceful subjects. This explains that the Vietnamese would not be enslaved by the Chinese without fighting for their freedom.

This shows that the Vietnamese warriors would rather die for their independence than be taken prisoner by the Chinese.

To be a good caretaker, owners need to learn the bearded dragon’s behavior. When you get a bearded dragon, they will not be nice from the beginning so “to appear even more menacing, the Bearded Dragon may also "gape," or open his mouth very wide.

Knowing this could prevent confusion of when a beardie is trying be the leader.

The white settlers wanted the Native’s land, which was in the Northern and Eastern states, for its fertile ground for growing cotton. This created the first seeds of conflict. Since the Americans sold a big part of cotton to the world (Wallace), they needed more land so they could sell more and get more money. Settlers came to the Indian’s lands so they could make them profit and flourish (Trail; Indian). Americans believed Native Americans were “Unfamiliar, alien people who occupied the land the white settlers wanted” (History.com Staff), causing these two cultures to clash, creating a need for compromise.
The Dragon can also represent the Devil in that it lusts for gold and riches and he protects these riches with his fire and fear. In the bible Satan is shown as the great dragon.

When I was a child, reading dragon stories were not my favorite, but when I read The Reluctant Dragon I see it enjoyable. In the Fifty-First Dragon story, the awkward knight uses this magic word to kill the dragons “Rumplesnitz”. The Reluctant Dragon showed the reader great and helpful relationships between the boy and the dragon. The Reluctant Dragon is prompt to a children 's instead of The Fifty-First Dragon which prompt to adults. The Reluctant Dragon and The Fifty-First Dragon have few similarities same as every story has a legacy; However, they have many differences like the characters are different, the ending of each story is unlike.

In Beowulf translated by Seamus Heaney the dragon’s gold represents a close bond. When the man stumbles upon the cave of treasures, when he steals a gold jewel-studded goblet. The dragon wakes up to find his goblet gone “the hoard-guardian scorched the ground as he scoured and hunted for the trespasser” (Heaney 155-157). To most people the treasure will gain them nothing but to the dragon he is the hoard guardian meaning he cares about his possessions enough to hunt for the trespasser. The dragon uses his “pent-up fury at the loss of the vessel made him long to hit back and lash out in flames” (Heaney 157).
Lucius Theron had always wanted two things and only two things his whole life. To be a hero, a shining example of justice incarnate and a much more simple dream. He wanted to punch a dolphin without fear of being judged. He had always cared more than he should have about how others thought about him as well as being your typical OCD 'why can't I get my hair the right way' kinda guy. Luckily he didn't really have to worry about the whole others opinions thing any longer since 3 years ago when he graduated from knight school, won the tournament of ages, and became 'Hero of the seven realms, upholder of justice, and defender of innocent' and was immediately held in the highest standards by most everyone.

They should know that a dragon could very easily defeat them because of the brute strength of the dragon. A human would not be able to take on a full grown dragon by themselves because of the pure massive size of the dragon alone but, also that it has very hard outer layer of skin that you are not able to bust through very easy. In conclusion If you were to live close to a dragon you could not forget about them and if you were to fight a dragon you would not be able to win the battle between you and the
