not wasted time. I have been told that many times and I could not agree more. I was always fascinated by Arthurian legends ever since I heard the story of King Arthur when I was four years old.

The story of Arthur and The sword Excalibur is probably the most recognized story. The story of Arthur and Excalibur has
King Arthur is a legendary figure whose story has been retold in various ways throughout history. Two of the most well-known versions of the Arthurian legend are the 1485 literary work “Le Morte d'Arthur” by Sir Thomas Malory and the 2004 film King Arthur.

The word chivalry was used to describe what a perfect knight would be, and the code outlines the basic understanding of how a knight should act.

This legend 's name is Arthur, who becomes a king after the father he never knew he had, forced a sword in a stone and only a king could grasp it.

smoothly, until Arthur became the King of England. Arthur and Merlin were destined to meet, despite their seemingly unplanned encounter. According to their first impression, “The magician was staring at him with a kind of unwinking and benevolent curiosity which made him feel that it would not be at all rude to stare back.” (White 29) It was the first time Merlin saw Arthur in the book, but it sounded like Merlin had expected to see Arthur for so long.

While I was reading these tales of King Arthur, I saw many similarities that he had compared to other Kings. He was heroic, and brave to fight for his country, but why is he still talked about if his tales were just tales? I believe that this specific King is a known figure in history because of the impact he has made of the readers of his tales. The writer of the tales may have been narrating a story in their head or they could have seen the whole thing unfold. The only thing that readers can do

Crucible Final Essay Based on what I read in the Crucible and what we know about him, if Arthur Miller were alive today, I believe he would not advocate limiting the entrance of Muslims into our nation. Arthur Miller is the type of person that disagrees with judging one particular person by their race, religion, and what others say about their “kind”. Therefore, we can’t be afraid of everyone that belongs to a certain religion like Muslim just because of the acts of the radical Muslims. This would

“Where did everything go wrong?” King Arthur Pendragon of Camelot whispered to himself in the dead of night as he lay in his bed. Alone. Fitting, since he felt more lonesome than ever these days. As expected, the only answer to his rhetorical inquiry was a deafening, painful silence. Staring up at the high ceiling of his bedchamber, his hands resting behind his head, the king thought back to earlier in the day when he’d picnicked with the attractive and vivacious Princess Mithian. Not only was
