Can people live up to high ideals? I think that not all people can live up to high ideals. The reason I say that is because not everyone fallows the rules. Some people do but some don’t. Everyone now and again break rules it’s just human nature. In the story the knight rapes a girl that he liked. So the court said we should put him to death. The queen said that was to harsh so se said I will give you a year and a day to answer this question, what women want most in the world and if the knight got the question right in the timeframe he will be spared but if he answers wrong he will have to be executed. So the knight asks around and tells the queen his answers but it wasn’t good enough. He finally has an answer that is, what women most desire is to be in charge of their husbands and lovers. The women agree resoundingly that this is the answer, and the queen spares the knight’s life.
What is ultimate courage?
Ultimate courage is when someone is scared to do something but they do it anyway. Like in the video (U.S. airman Spencer Stone on Jimmy Kimmel live), Spencer was on a train while a man with a gun was about to kill people Spencer got up and tried to stop him so on his way to stop him the bad guy tried to shoot but the firing pin did not work. So Spencer put him in a head lock and the bad guy pulled out a pistol and tried to shoot him again but it didn’t work either. So the bad guy pulled out a knife while he was still in the head lock and cut him, but Spencer choked him unconscious. That is how he was courageous. So ultimate courage to me is when someone does the right thing that helps someone else. You don’t have to be the biggest person to be courageous you just have to do the right thing. Like the video explained that one person can make a difference for a lot of people, because if Spencer did not address the situation on the train a lot of people would have been hurt or even worse dean and that is true courage. Also Spencer after the bad guy was unconscious Spencer saw a guy named mark that had a shot in his neck so he showed courage by putting his finger in his neck to stop the bleeding and that saved the mans life. Exemplum means a short anecdote or story that illustrates a particular moral point.
The story is considered an exemplum because it shows a moral point. The main moral point was that greed turns into corruption. The story has many examples that show an exemplum like how the main character got poison and wine from town and he was walking back from town and the men stabbed him and killed him. Then after they killed him they drank the wine that he had poisoned in it then they both died. That was an example of the exemplum in the story. Some key examples of exemplum in the story are that the guy got the poison to kill the two guys, but the two guys killed him first. They all wanted the gold but they did not want to share that is why the one guy got the poison and that’s why the other two killed him because they all wanted to have the full amount of gold. The protagonist is Bilbo Baggins. The conflicts that are in the beginning are that Bilbo doesn’t know if he should go with the dwarfs and Gandalf on an adventure or not. Another conflict is that the dwarfs were eating and drinking all of his food and wine. They leave after breakfast and leave Bilbo behind. Then Bilbo thinks that to himself that he should go on the adventure then he catches up to them and gets on a horse. On the journey it starts to downpoor so they try to set up camp and in the meantime gandelf left with no one knowing.
I would die for my family. They would die for me so I would die for them.
I am one of the lightest things
