Summary and Reaction

           The Author: Gwen Gross
          The Name of Book: Knights of the Round Table

              In this article " Knights of the Round Table," the author showed that after Marline gone, all knights around table were wondering about who knight would be the best knight from among them. 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.

          I think that the writer began to explain the main role of the king Arthur in this amazing story. Also, the story began to attract the readers to know what things will happened then. In addition, in this section of story, the king Artur began to wonder about who the greatest knights of round table. Also, the writer used some of fiction tale in the story, for example, the wizard old man “ Merlin”. I think that the main reason to use fiction in story is to make a good and interesting tale or story. In my opinion, I was surprised and interested when read this section of story. Also, I want to know whole story of the king Arthur, and who the greatest knight was. We will know that in the next blog.

         In the article “Knights of the Round Table,” of next chapter the author showed that after Merline had gone, Ector said that he would love the baby named Arthur as he had loved his son, Kay. However, Ector was wondering about the secret of Artur. Sixteen years later, Arthur became a strong and handsome man and he tries to learn how he can be knight. One day, man who had come from London, met Sir Ector and Kay, and he told them very excited and strange story which say that when king Uther died, many knights and lords fought to get crown. Also,he added that a miracle had happened on Christmas day when a huge white stone appeared in the yard of church and a bright sword rose out from the stone. On the sword,There were some words which say “WHOEVER CAN DRAW THIS SWORD FROM THIS STONE, IS THE TRUE KING OF ENGLAND,” but no one there had tried to do that, yet. After that, sir Kay asked his father to go there to draw the sword, and sir Ector decided to go to London with his son Kay and Arthur who was more excited than Kay. When they arrived London in where many knights will come to draw the sword, they went into the city which has many buildings and shops and many people. Eventually, they stopped at an inn , or other word hotel, to get rest.Now, it is a new year's day which many knights from every where will come to make competition to draw the sword from The white stone, and every one wants to be king of England. 
 
         I think that the author in this article tries to attract the readers by putting some interesting events, such as Sword and White stone. 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. Also, in this section of story, the author wants to show that the knight who deserve to be king of England, must serve and protect england and help the people.
