The Truth Behind Arthurian Legend
1,853 words
In scores of languages and shaped to all sorts of
storytelling genres, from medieval epic to modern
musical, tales of Arthur and his knights have been
enthralling people for more than a thousand years
(Alexander 1). The question is, however, how much
truth is there behind the Arthurian Legend? King
Arthur, Camelot, and the Round Table are three of
the central elements in the tales that are told of
this great era, but the legend does not reveal the
whole truth. It is believed by many scholars
who...

Last fall our school board decided to make it
mandatory for students to attend school
year-round. There were many issues to look at
before making this decision. I feel that year
round school can both benefit and hurt children.
There are many issues that people are for and
against for year round schooling. What will happen
to kids who have summer jobs or even part time

ter>"Shape is that which alone of existing things
always follows color. "A shape is that which
limits a solid; in a word, a shape is the limit of

Plato, there is a point in which Meno asks that
Socrates give a definition of shape. In the end of
it, Socrates is forced to give two separate
definitions, for Meno considers the first to be
foolish. As the two definitions are read and
compared, one is forced to wonder which, if either
of the two, is tru...

Sir Thomas Malory Sex And Violence
4,465 words
The Politics of Violence in Malory's Treatment of
the Arthurian Legend By focusing, ostensibly, on
sex and violence, Malory's rendering of the
Arthurian legend becomes something quite distinct
from the French originals. Roger Aschams complaint
that only bold barrie and open manslaughter, may
be found in the Works, seems to be well grounded,
but such a reading tends to neglect the authors
most essential themes. Why is violence such a
fundamental aspect of these tales? Malory's
interest in the Art...
