“Hurry up, you idiot! If we're late they won't let us in till intermission, and you know Aithusa will be devastated if we miss her part!” Merlin was fussing with his clothes in front of the bedroom mirror, looking horribly uncomfortable in the suit Arthur had ordered for him. “I know, I know,” he said in a huff of exasperation, fiddling with his tie before trying to get his jacket to sit properly on his shoulders. “But we wouldn't actually tell her we'd missed it. It's not like we haven't seen her practice a hundred times. And with all the kids in their mice costumes you can't tell who is who anyway. I tried to give Aithusa a high five after the dress rehearsal, but it was Kara, staring at me with such a frightened look you'd have thought …show more content…
Aithusa had seen videos of them in their pointe shoes and tutus, dancing with the “handsome pwince” and couldn't wait to be just like her aunties. Arthur sometimes worried that she'd become too much like her aunties, who while beautiful, were cunning and manipulative and got whatever they wanted. At least Aithusa didn't share any Pendragon DNA, having been a foundling. Merlin had pulled her out of a garbage can on a snowy Christmas morning, a tiny bundle with wispy silver hair and angry red cheeks, screaming as loudly as her baby lungs could manage. Which wasn't loud at all, but Merlin had always been uncommonly perceptive. He later said it felt like she had been calling just for him and he had known exactly where to find her. It had taken awhile before Merlin and Arthur had been allowed to officially adopt Aithusa. There were a lot of hoops to jump through. Her original parents had to be searched for (but were never found). Then Arthur and Merlin had to prove they'd be competent parents. Just because Merlin had found her, he didn't get automatic first dibs. But they worked to convince the authorities, and around the time Aithusa was six months old, they were allowed to bring her home. She had had them wrapped around her little finger ever since. Arthur finally got Merlin into the car and headed to the Camelot High School Auditorium. He knew the way well. Parents were required to volunteer
Atticus Finch is a very important character in the book To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus is the father of Jem and Scout Finch. Atticus is middle aged and has graying black hair, when he talks to people he treats them with lots of respect no matter what that person's race, age or background is like. Atticus is in one of the most important events that occurred in this book, he was the lawyer for Tom Robinson when Tom was accused of Raping Mayella Ewell. A theme that Atticus shows is courage. He defended Tom in court knowing that he would lose from the start but he fought hard to make him innocent. A quote that Atticus says that represents this is, “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with
Merlin made a deal with the former ruler of Britain, Uther. The deal was that in exchange for Merlin's help Uther would give him his first born son, that son was Arthur. After he was born, instead of raising Arthur himself, Merlin secretly took him to the castle of Sir Ector to be raised
King Arthur, born and raised under the influence of his fate, portrays a romance hero. The elements of being a romance hero are all displayed throughout the biography of his life, The Mist of Avalon. As the movie unfolds, many spellbinding twists and turns awaits those who are watching. The first major obstacle sets the tone for the entire film. This includes Igraine, Arthur’s mother, following the way of the Lady of the Lake and accepting her fate as the King’s mother. Arthur is conceived by another man, not Igraine’s husband. Therefore, due to the magic from the Lady of the Lake and Arthur’s designated fate, his life was touched by an untamed force of being born under mysterious circumstances. Without the request for Igraine to convince the King, the island of Avalon and the religion of paganism would not have had the chance to flourish in Camelot.
Five days after Arthur had told Guinevere he still loved her and wanted her has his wife, yet she still hadn’t told him how she felt, Arthur felt like tearing his hair out with worry. There was only one person who could handle the king while he was in such distress – Merlin.

Suddenly, Merlin was jolted out of his thoughts when something connected with the side of his head. He jumped away from the window in surprise, his heart pounding in his chest. Looking down at the floor, then, he breathed a huge sigh of relief as he soon realized that it had only been a pillow. Of course, that meant –
Merlin was the one responsible for the birth of King Arthur. Uther Pendragon, father of Arthur, was at a party when he met the beautiful Igraine. Igraine was married at the moment, but Merlin helped Uther look like Gorlois for the night to hook up with her for the night. The only thing Merlin asked for was to be the keeper of the baby. “Merlin took the child to a priest, who baptized him with the name of Arthur, and thence to Sir Ector, whose wife fed him at her breast. (Malory 907)”
Arthur was the first to admit he didn’t enjoy waking up early. However, when Merlin had called him the previous night and begged Arthur to help with the fundraiser for the local animal shelter where Merlin volunteered, Arthur couldn’t refuse. First, because Merlin was his best friend, and second, Arthur had a soft spot for animals.
The king sealed and bolted the door, then looked up. Mithian sat well across the room at her vanity. She had a large hairbrush in her hand and her long brown hair hung down loose. She wore a peignoir of some sort. The white material was gauzy and lacy, with flowers embroidered along the bust line and the bottom hem. She also wore a matching wrap. Little skin was
"At least he isn't a baby." That was true. Arthur maybe, on some luck, handle a child. There is now way in heaven or hell he would have been able to watch a baby.
Merlin thought for a great deal on where to hide baby Arthur. He realized that the only way Arthur would be safe was if he was with a family and chose Sir Ector’s family as a safe place for Arthur. Sir Ector then moved away with his family and Arthur so no one could find him.
Merlin realizes he has come upon a ritual. He is extremely drawn to the proceedings and watches in excitement. He hears a man scream as if in mortal danger. A robed man emerges holding something high in his hands. The others in the group circle him. Later, that night Merlin discovers that Belasius is also a Druid Priest. Belasius tells Merlin that he must study the Goddess with him, or he will be cursed. This too is added to Merlin's studies. Merlin's character is further defined. Merlin becomes an intelligent and confident young man.
Arthur stood by the window and gazed longingly out of it. He began daydreaming. He imagined what his knights were doing at that moment. Lancelot was probably helping some poor servant with their chores, Gwaine was probably (no, definitely) in the tavern, Elyan was probably helping a blacksmith run his forge, Leon was probably training or on duty (he always seems to be doing extra shifts), and Percival was probably lifting weights or reading. Arthur for the life of him couldn’t work out what that big guy would get up to in his spare time.
Malcolm Little, or as he’s better known as Malcolm X, once stated, “The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses” (Citation). What Malcolm X said is true; the media does have a control on the people’s minds. The media has a big impact on how we think and feel about everything in our lives. For example, with this type of control the media has caused people to developed stereotypes about the social classes and the people within them.
You wake up and find yourself passed out on your friend's floor. For a few seconds, you find yourself confused, but then you remember the wild party the night before. Well, some of the party, anyway. Your memory goes fuzzy after these hot chicks starting passing around a few special drinks.
