Summary and Reaction
The Name of Book: Knigts of the Round Table.
The Author: Gwen Gross
        According to the book of “Knights of the Round Table,” the author showed in the next chapter that after Merlin had disappeared, King Arthur was very sad and worry about his kingdom. However, Merlin gave him some advice which could help to deal with difficult situations. One day, Morgan Le Faw who was King Arthur’s sister came to the castle of Camelot. She asked King Arthur to give her his magic sword in order to keep it from evil people. However, she was not honest, and she want take it for her evil and bad works, and also she want to be the king of England instead of King Arthur. She had a magic power, so she planned to kill Arthur. When the king Arthur went deeply inside the wood with his knight “Sir Acoolon” for hunting, they saw a big and amazing ship which stopped at the coast of river, and they walked toward it directly. When they entered inside it, suddenly the ship went way cross the river, while Morgan was watching them with happiness because she was able to catch the king Arthur finally. At night, the ship went far away from the coast, while King Arthur and his knight were eating and having a wonderful time, and then they slept deeply. When they got up they founded their self in the prison under the ground. After a while, beautiful woman told King Arthur that he must fight someone to be free, but she wanted him to fight his knight who was also asked the same thing. Therefore, they began to fight each other, but no one of them could know each other because they were wearing masks on their heads. King Arthur finally was able to defeat his knight and take his magic sword, and he realized the truth that he was trapped but after killing his knight. Morgan had failed to kill King Arthur, but she still trying to kill him again.

         I think that this is interesting section of the story because the king Arthur began to make adventures with their knights of round table. Also King Arthur wanted to prove that he was able to manage his kingdom without any help from others specially after leaving Merlin. In addition, the author tried again to use a fiction event inside the story such as Morgan who has a magic power, and she used it for evil things. Really I was interested in reading this story because it has amazing adventure events. I can say that the author wrote these events so perfect that anyone can be attracted to see and read it. I promise that the last two chapter of this story have many adventures and amazing news about King Arthur and his knights.

Then person who was named Lancelot came to King Arthur and asked him to be a knight. King Arthur was surprised, and he noticed that the person looked very strong and in the same time had a great kindness. Therefore, King Arthur realized that Lancelot had all specifications which Marline mentioned before that about the best knight of a round table. After that, king Arthur asked Lancelot to sit on his chair, but all of the knights were wondering about what Lancelot did to be the best knight. When Lancelot heard that, he decided to leave his place, and he wouldn’t sit with knights until he brought proof that would make him the best knight. When Lancelot left the castle and reached wood, he saw afraid knight who asked Lancelot to help him from evil knight which named sir Garlon. Sir Garlon was an invisible man and none one could kill him, but Lancelot fought him, and finally he was able to kill him and saved the knight. Also, Lancelot was able to save many people from evil knights. After that, he went to wonderful farms which had green areas, but suddenly these farms converted to black areas without any grass or trees. At above this place, he found old white buildings were destroyed, and there was smoke and ash in the air. Sir Lancelot was told by someone that there was a huge animal which named Dragon, and it has lived there for three years. Also, he was told that no one could kill this monster which destroyed this farms and buildings. Lancelot decided to fight this giant animal, and finally he could kill the Dragon by putting his sword in Dragon’s heart. All people there asked him to stay and live with them, but he decided to go back to Camelot. When he arrived the hall where the knights were sitting with their wives, he was welcomed by all knights. Also, the heard about his stories, and they told him that he deserved to be the best knight.
         I think that in this section of story the writer began to reveal about knight who will become the greatest knight of a round table. also, he used interesting tale, such as invisible knight and the huge animal" Dragon". The writer used these tales in order to attract readers to read whole story and to know the important role of Lancelot in this story. In my opinion, sometime the writer should mix between the realistic and fiction stories because the readers want to be excited to read the rest of story. However, some readers do not prefer this type of story which mix between realistic and fiction because they are looking for real story from the past which have many historical events. I think that this story made me very excited.

Also, he wants from readers to keep reading the story to the end. I was really excited to read this section of story and I am very carious to know the end of this story.

Summary and Reaction


In this tale "Knights of Round the Table." the author showed in two chapters that this story of a wonderful king named Arthur, and of the brave knights of the round table was very old. Also, many people did not know, if this story was real or not. This story started at place which named castle of king Uther of England. One day, while it was a cold, windy night, old man appeared suddenly and looked toward the castle. After that, the gate was opened and two women came out and one of them carried a little baby. The woman had given the baby to the old man who was gone with the baby. The old man appeared with the baby again at another castle which belonged to a knight called Sir Ector. When Ector had seen the old man with baby, he cried "Merlin" and he knew that old man at once. Merlin was the old man who was the master of magic and he used his powers for good things. Ector was surprised, but Merlin told him that he had brought him this child and asked him to raise the child as his son without any explanations. The knight took the baby and he said that he would have done that the old man had asked. Then, Merlin had gone between shining mist and he was telling without loudly "Tell no one."
I think this story is one of fiction stories even though many people believe that it is a real story. However, many people do not know that king Artur is real or not, so maybe these stories do not tell us real news. I want to explain that because I think real stories are better than fiction stories. In this summary of two chapters, I noticed that the writer wrote the story with good organization to attract the people to read the story, and I was very excited about the end story. Also, this factor is very important to write story because readers want to be attracted to stories.
