King Arthur's Compulsory Experiences

They called the baby Arthur. He was very pretty, with a mop of gold curls, and he loved his father from the first. Mrs. Morel was glad this child loved the father. Hearing the miner's footsteps, the baby would put up his arms and crow.

Elaborate: He is starting to think about how the life they are living is not a life anymore, he thought nothing matters since they are all going to die anyways.

The first transformation for Arthur was a perch. As this fish he learned many lessons associated with the behavior of the animals around him. Arthur learned to rely on himself as much as possible. This is evident when Merlyn says, “Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.” (White 39) He also learned to help out those around him even if they are of lower status, which

“The idea of dying , of no longer being, began to fascinate me. Not to exist any longer. Not to feel the horrible pains in my foot. Not to feel anything, neither weariness, nor cold, nor anything. To break the ranks, to let oneself slide to the edge of the road.

The last two lines act as a slap in the face. Every element works toward death, and the speaker almost slips into eternal rest. One can see him, putting the

King Arthur is an outstanding British leader of the 5th and the 6th centuries, son of Uther Pendragon and the Lady Igraine. Arthur is one of the greatest mythical heroes that the world has ever known. Arthur has had a great influence on other people and many of them looked up to him. The coming of Arthur was prophesied years before he was even born. Arthur was born into a world of chaos and disorder, full of love and tragedy. Nowadays, many of the scholars continue to argue whether or not King Arthur was a real person or just a mythological figure. Based on facts however, many believe that Arthur was not a real person; just a legendary British leader in the 5th and 6th centuries. According to history, there wasn't anyone named King Arthur

A recurring theme that can be found throughout Arthurian literature is the mention of magic, mythical creatures, and other supernatural elements. Arthur’s own birth is a direct result of this. He was conceived after his father had used a potion, with the help of Merlin, to disguise himself as Igraine’s husband before sex. In some legends, there is even an “Otherworld”. The term Otherworld has Celtic origins and is usually described as a separate plane of existence from the normal world. Typically, it holds divine creatures or deities and can be entered by crossing a body of water. In Arthurian legend, the addition of supernatural elements is used to not only advance the plot, but aid the characters and often explain the unexplainable. Two

    The second reason King Arthur is alive is because a shepherd found him in a cave with gold and silver and his knights resting, the shepherd tripped and woke up the King and King Arthur asked the man

Arthur was born on July 10, 1943 in Richmond, Virginia. He was the oldest son of his dad, and his mom’s two sons. In his younger years he would be under his mother's path with discipline. His life had turned around when he was six, his mother had passed away from complications from surgery like her son. Arthur had attended at University of

At the start of the book, Arthur was in a terrible place. He was providing more for his father than his father was providing for him, and he had no friends, just a group of boys who made it their mission to make Arthur's life more terrible than it already was. Once Arthur finally found the courage to come down from the viewing area in The Oracle and make contact with Delphina, everything changed for him. Although the headmaster at his school was extremely upset with him for skipping school every day, Arthur had finally found a place where he was accepted. With the exception of one person that Arthur met in The Oracle, none of the people in the building should have existed. Three of them were ghosts, two were water nymphs, and then there was Silver, an actual human, who kept the other five safe from the outside world. By the end of the book, when Arthur drowns himself, he does it for a completely different reason then when he attempted suicide at the beginning. When Arthur goes to jump off the cliff, he wants to die because he has nobody. When he drowns, he wants to die because he has finally found people who accept him, and the only way to stay with them is to die in the magical waters of The

King Arthur is the son of King Uther Pendragon and Igraine. It all started when King Uther fell in love with Igraine but she had a husband named Gorlois. While Gorlois was at war Merlin made King Uther to look like Gorlois, to be with Igraine. During the times of war Igraine got pregnant of Arthur. Merlin told King Uther and Igraine that it would be best to raise Arthur in a secret place. Merlin took Arthur and gave him to Sir Ector to protect his truth identity. In case of King Uther death Marlin feared the conflicts of who would be the next king so he set a sword on a stone called the Excalibur, written in gold it said "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone is the right wise born king of all England.". That meant that only one could pull out the sword of the stone and this one would be the rightful king of England.

From an ant to a beaver, Arthur is turned into many animals by Merlin in, The Sword in the Stone. Each transformation is an adventure, and with those adventure you gain an unexchangeable experience. Using that experience, Arthur learns many things, however one thing that stands out in each transformation, is how he will use these lessons later on when Arthur becomes King of Britain. Here he peeps into the world of many other ways of life with animals.

Who was King Arthur? Most people would tell of a great King; a devoted circle of heroic knights; mighty castles and mightier deeds; a time of chivalry and courtly love; of Lancelot and Guinevere; of triumph and death. Historians and archaeologists, especially Leslie Alcock, point to shadowy evidence of a man who is not a king, but a commander of an army, who lived during the late fifth to early sixth century who may perhaps be the basis for Arthur. By looking at the context in which the stories of King Arthur survived, and the evidence pertaining to his castle Camelot and the Battle of Badon Hill, we can begin to see that Arthur is probably not a king as the legend holds.

Although King Arthur is one of the most well-known figures in the world, his true identity remains a mystery. Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character. It is therefore necessary to look at a few different sources to get better insight into the character of Arthur, the once and future king.

Two texts that showcase this are “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” and “Prose Merlin”.
