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.

  1. I agree with your opinion which the story mixed realism and fiction for attracting readers. Because The realism attracted adult and the fiction attracted children, this story could be a great legendary story in everyone. However, children may thought that the dragon could be real as I believed that the story is real when I was a child. Then, my favorite night was him, Lancelot. He was the best of all of nights because of this book. He is like young King Arthur because he is very brave and strong and he has huge experience killing dragon as the King Arthur pulled his sword from a rock. I think that nobody could fight against the dragon in the story except Lancelot. The experience made him a hero in this story. Therefore, his bravery made him to be the best of knights and Marlin believed that he would be. As the King Arthur asked him to sit his chair, King Arthur trusted. In my opinion, the story began to change main character from King Arthur to Lancelot. I think this book remains more stories, doesn't it? Please, keep read and post your summary to the end. Thank you for sharing your book.
