The three stories each had their own question that was unique to that story but together the three stories were similar. The tree different stories sparked a question in my mind, it made me wonder if being honorable helps you go down as a legend that will always be remembered. What does it take to be a person that will be in history books long after you pass away. Do you need to be a person that is always out for other peoples best interest, trustworthly and a great warrior to be a legend, or do you just need to have one big accomplisment. These stories made me wonder this questino because knights in the story were honorable, also can honor come without doing anything brave? In the bath's tale the man was asking women if they should be understanable could sparking a big question or firguring something out make you a ledgend? In the third story then man took a axe to the head that could also make him honorable, but does that make him a ledgend? Or would he need more achievments than that more times to be honorable too make have a ledgend that will live on forever? These are some of the questions that sparked my mind from the three stories, i believe that many more quesitons can come from the topics in the story but this is the one that sparks my mind.

I personally believe that people can live up to date her ideals, no matter how high these ideals are they can be obtainable, however I do believe that you are able to live up to your high ideals but if you do not wish too you should not be forced into it. If you are willing to take the challenge and try to live up to this and it will make you feel good and accomplished about yourself that yes I believe that it is worth doing. Many people would not live up to these because they feel like it is their life and they do not feel that they should have to behave or act a certain way. They feel that they should be able to behave how they please, so in that case people do not feel like it is worth trying to live up to their high ideals. That is my opinion on if people can live up to high ideals and if they can is it really worth trying to be perfect and fit the ideals that someone else set.
Did spencer show ultimate courage that day on the train. Courage is doing something that many other people would not do, it takes a brave person to show acts of courage. Courage is doing something that you know could have bad consequences that go along with it. I would say that the actions that spencer showed were great acts of courage he could have been killed with one shot, he put his life on the line so that he would be able to protect others. He showed that he was willing to give his life so the terrorist would not be able to take others. In this life we need people with great courage like shown in this story. I feel that the people who show the greatest courage are those who go on the front lines and sacrifice their life so that we as Americans can be free. That is true courage in my eyes. In this case he show courage by protecting the life of other human beings that he didn't even know. He could have hid under his seat and known that he would be rather safe and still get to go home to his family. But he choose the courageous action by putting himself in harms way.
The definition of an exemplum is a short anecdote or story that illustrates a particular moral point. The story "The Pardoner's tale" really focuses on the topic of greed. This story shows the readers what greed can do do your life, it shows us the negative side of the love of money. That is a big moral lesson that many people can learn from this story not only tells us the negative effects of greed but it also shows us. That is one reason why this story is an exemplum. The characters in The Pardoner's tale contradict themselves which causes irony in the story. An exemplum is a story that is used to make a point and teach you something, this story is used to teach readers about greed and how it can poorly affect your life. If you think about what the story is telling you can truly learn from it and not make the mistakes that the author portrays in the story.
The protagonist in the book, The Hobbit is Bilbo Baggins. The main major conflict in this book is that Bilbo Baggins hates to go on adventures even though his mom was known for being a adventurous hobbit. Gandalf talks Bilbo into going on an adventure with thirteen militant dwarves. The dwarves are going on a adventure to get their treasure from the dragon Smaug. Gandalf chooses Bilbo to be their Burglar. The dwarves do not agree with Gandalf’s choice of Bilbo to be the burglar, Bilbo also is kind of scared to go on an adventure he would rather stay home where he feels comfortable.Many people would die for our freedom, some people would die for money, some people would die to be treated equally. The thing that means enough to me that I would be willing to die for would be my family. I would die for them because they are always there for me when I need it and always want the best for me. I would die for them because I know that they would die for me too if they had the choice. I would also die for the life of someone else. If I came to a situation where it was me or him I would choose me because I wouldn't want to have to deal with the thought that I could have saved someone else from dying. I think that what Malala died for was very important she knew that knowledge is power. The taliban knew that if the people were not educated they would not know to rebel. This girl saw through that and knew that when she fought for her education she would be intelligent enough to escape their control. She showed that she was willing to die for what she believed and that was very influencial in women being able to get an education. I think that there is no wrong answer to this question, what ever it is that you would die for would be the right answer. It is all a personal question of what means a lot to you personally. I am soft yet fierce, run your hand along me but i might bite. Throw a ball and ill bring it back. I will be by your side for the rest of my life.
Both Beowulf and Achilles was epic hero they both took long journeys to be a hero and help someone else. The two are both epic heroes and have a lot of difference and few similarities in their personalities. The reason that Achilles made the long journey to troy was to get revenge even though it was Achilles fault Achilles fought with rage and anger. While Beowulf fought for his own well being he felt that it would benefit is appearance and add to his glory that he already had. Beowulf fought with more control and did not let his emotions get the best of him and therefore cause him to make mistakes due to the emotions running through his head. Both of the epic heroes have one final enemy in the end; Beowulf’s final enemy was the dragon while Achilles final enemy was hector. A huge difference in the two epic heroes was that Beowulf did not have the anger problems like Achilles did. Both Beowulf and Achilles are very well known and respected they also had in common a lot of ambition to continue to be respected and known as great warriors in battle. I thought that they weren’t very much alike other then the fact that they bought were epic heroes and very well respected in battle. But due to the fact that they fought different ways and for different reasons it leads me to think that they were different.
Is there a thing such as true love? Everyone has their own opinion to this question. And there is no right or wrong answer it is just what you think and how you feel about it. My personal opinion is that there is such a thing as true love, if you find the right person that shares a common interest and makes you happy at all times and someone that you want to be with there Is such thing as true love. There has to be someone out there that is right for you. You just have to find that person it might take a long time to find that person and you might not ever find that person. You might spend your whole life looking for this person or you might find them in college or high school it just depends. Once you find that person you will know that you have found true love. I believe that true love exists in a family setting too because you love your family unconditionally and will always love them you are a family and are true love at all times, or true love can be in a relationship where each side loves the other just as much that would be considered true love to me.
Is Beowulf an epic hero? Some traits of an epic hero are Brave, courageous, selfless, strong and a great warrior those are some traits that a true epic hero have. I think that Beowulf posses all of the characteristics that a hero must have. Beowulf Is a good warrior in battle this is shown in the story by saying that he has killed monsters before so that he wasn’t scared to take on Grendel because he has fought monsters before and knows what it takes to kill them. Beowulf shows that he is brave because he travels to a place knowing that he might be killed in a battle he is willing to do this because he is courageous and wants to do a good thing for others he is willing to sacrifice so that way the men that Grendel is killing can be safe. This is just some of the many great characteristic that a hero must have that Beowulf has. Beowulf was willing to do something that many other people would not do, many people would run from this situation and do their best to avoid it will a hero like Beowulf would do the exact opposite as Beowulf did they would go right to the problem and take care of it in a heroic manner showing how brave and courageous he truly is, that Is why I see Beowulf as a true epic hero.
