King Arthur

King Arthur is the king that is the most well known through out the entire world. Time may have changed the way some people look at how he once was, but most people think of him as the young skinny little boy who pulled the sword from the stone like in T. H. White’s The Once and Future King which after that he grew into a great king protecting excalibur and creating the round table and finding the brave knights to protect the great Camelot. This is the basic story of King Arthur that people have built on to and taken apart. Also like Disney creating the character of wort to be king Arthur and pull the sword from the stone just like T.H. White, but they added more magical things with merlin and the castle.
People don’t see anything wrong with changing this story because everyone always thinks about what could have really happened then and was there a real king Arthur? Or, is it all just a made up fairy tail for kids. No matter, if its real or not or for young or old it is about king Arthur and everyone of the world today knows of him as one of the most important parts of medieval times and one of the things first thought of when you think about the middle ages. This might be a story only told to small children, but it is for you to grow up with and tell more younger children like how you found out about it when you were that same age. This is really a story you believe your entire life without fail to hear again when your older and think about what is and isn’t real in the story and know that the way you thought of it as a child will stay with you forever.
This is what changes the story is by how people think about it as they get older because they are the ones who may tell it differently for there beliefs or like a mother protecting there young child. If people as they grow choose to not believe it then they will change the way they tell it and King Arthur will be changed in the eyes of all people who knew him the old way and the ones who know the new way will stay as long as kids listen to it. Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d' Arthur is the first story to be pulled from when talking about King Arthur to make the story or film your own. In this the old English is still their for the old tone and full effect of where the story of King Arthur really comes from.

middle ages

The middle ages were about honor knights kings and castles which all come to play in the stories of King Arthur. In all of the stories he is this weak little boy who pulls the sword out of the stone over all the big strong men who try to pull it out. In some stories his amount of trying ranges from one time to three. He then becomes king of Camelot with the round table and he is searching for men who are brave enough to fulfill the tasks of a knight that is true to his king. Merlin is at Arthur’s side the whole time hinting on the future. He hints to Arthur that the last seat is at the table belongs to a man not born yet. This shows how the middle ages were thought of as such a different age of princesses, but really it was the time when most people were loyal to what ever they belonged to. People thought so much more of what they lived for and why they lived compared to now how so many people take lives for granted. Lives are precious and that’s what most of these people noticed.

best cover

For the four choices of the covers. I think the first one represented the story. The picture only shows part of him and thats all everyone sees. He is a boy that is anti social for his own reasons. On this cover you can see the look in his eye of domination over others. And you get this feel through the whole book from him. He has to over power and be stronger then anyone who comes up to him or touches him. Like when he was a baby. "Or she took him to the table in her arms, as she had done with the others-but could not hold him, he was too strong"Lessing 57. He seems so nasty as a baby, but as he gets old her he is the kid with that weird look in his eye which this cover portrays.

Mary Shelley

Mary Shelley was a woman with a very dark and gloomy childhood. Death was surrounding her and taking the lives of her family members. Her teenage years were lonely forcing her to grow up quickly. She wrote the book Frankenstein when she was nineteen only two years older then I am now. The book is very dark and gloomy with its gothic theme to it. In this book the monster is excluded, hated , and lost with no one to show him what is right and wrong. The monster doesn't go through a full life, but of one much shorter.

Shelley's life and the book resemble each other. They are both dark and gloomy with death all around. Also, the monster I think resembles either Mary's child hood or just a part of it. She was left alone after everyone around her was ripped away. Like how Victor messes with life, puts together a body, and throws it into society. The monster is smart and adapts to how he needs a companion in life. This is the same as how Mary has to do the same. If the monster doesn't represent her whole child hood then it definitely is a section of it.

Post#1

In the book Frankenstein I hsve feelings of mixed emotions about VIctor and everything about his life and around him. The struggles that the creature and Victor have to go threw with as they get older.

Victor makes me angry that he won't make the creature a new being to comfort him and to grow old with in life after observing a family. He does give a good argument in that it will hurt him and how he doesn't wanna struggle that much with living again. But, any being on earth human or not has a mate and something to live love and grow old with overall other things around him.

Longing for a person has been around since the beginning of time which overcomes alot of things when a person is struggling in life. The monster is alone and searching the ends of the earth for something or anyhting to love and live with and get rid of his loneliness.
