Wart's Journey Into The Wild

The figure stepped forward, towards the downed man. Its eyes glowing an eerie yellow, which reflected in the fearful eyes of the man,... eyes of a monster. The monster closed in on the man, a deep guttural laugh escaping from the monster.

Johnn, lived in the largest tree in the world. He was a purple bird who lived with his brothers. Johnny, as he was known, was different from them. His brothers had green feathers and wings but Johnny was purple. Johnny did not fly but I he tried since he was a little bird. Cruel white eagle scared him every time he tried it until it decided not to fly. Johnny can’t fly, so, he could not attend bird school, and trained as a soldier for the protection of nature.

Mr. P is thinking about eating him. At this instance Wart has enough time to turn around and swim away just in the nick-of-time to escape from Mr. P.

The story begins in King Arthur's court, where he and the Knights of the Round Table are celebrating New Year's. While they are enjoying their feast, a gigantic Green Knight rides in on a green horse with an immense axe in his hand to offer them a challenge. His offer is: "I shall bide the fist blow, as bare as I sit…….., but in twelve month and one day he shall have of me the same." (Norton Anthology,208)

The gunslinger stood up and the bird flew back to the roof, squawking. He felt an odd, trembling eagerness. "What did he talk about?"

When Wart still refuses to tell Kay, Kay “took a fold of Wart’s arm between the nails of first finger and thumb, and pinched for all he was worth” (86).This shows that Wart participates in scuffles as he often fights with Kay. Wart shares similar behaviors with rooks in the way Wart and Kay fight and jump on each other and the rooks make rude remarks and pounce on each other. Another reason why Wart greatly admires the rooks is that “They don't just fly, like other birds, they fly for fun” (155). When Wart is transformed into a goose, he is surrounded by many geese when they begin to take

When Wart and Merlyn meet Mr. P, the king of the moat, he lures Wart in by talking about power, then he tries to eat the Wart. This is expressed when White writes, “The Wart had found himself almost hypnotized by the big words, and hardly noticed that the tight mouth was coming closer and closer to him,” (52). This scene represents how people are so easily consumed by power. Wart was simply talking to the king of the moat, when suddenly he was almost eaten. During the days of totalitarian rulers, they would become so overcome with power that they would do anything to keep their power.

Just as Wart is drifting off, he hears a rapid whirr and finds an arrow between the fingers of his right hand.

"I thought there were at least ten. Yet there was only a single knight whose approach caused so much noise and commotion....As though bent on evil, he was riding up faster than an eagle and looking as ferocious as a lion....The knight had a good horse and a stout lance, and without doubt, he was a whole head taller than I....His lance was not light but, in my opinion, weighed more than any knight's lance. I have never seen one so large." (263)

After much difficulty, the Wart was turned into a merlin and then warned of Cully. After first when the Wart entered the mews, everyone was quiet, but he was eventually told to speak. After receiving the help of Balan(another bird), the Wart said that he is a merlin. Cully then asked what branch he is from, and the Wart said he is from the Forest Sauvage branch. Balan then helped again by explaining to cully that the Wart meant a cadet branch. The Wart’s next question was “What is a Beast of the Foot?” and luckily Wart knew the answer because of his first-rate education. He was then asked two more questions before moving on to the next step, which was to get sworn in. However, the priest ate the tirings, so they moved on to the ordeal. The Wart was hesitant towards it, as he had been warned not to go near Cully, but he had to. After the hymn, the Wart was told to go stand next to Cully, as the others rang a bell thrice. Cully warned the Wart not to come near him, as it would be too hard for him to not eat the Wart. After the bell rang twice, they were both impatient and nervous, but the Wart’s quick thinking saved his life. The Wart told Colonel Cully that there was a cat behind him so

I believe that the purpose of this adventure was to ultimately create a divide between Kay and Wart’s futures. Merlyn knows that Wart is destined to be a powerful king and that Kay will be a knight. Therefore, he sends them both on this adventure knowing that Kay will be the one to ultimately kill the griffin and lead the mission, which is a knight’s job. Wart, on the other hand, was the one trampled by the griffin, and he believed that Wart would come to a a realization that he did not want

The Wart is actually King Uther Pendragon’s son, meaning he’s actually a prince, and when he was born he was immediately taken by Merlyn himself, at the time disguised as a beggar, to Sir Ector’s castle, where the Wart stayed and was raised by Sir Ector and later on, when he become a tutor for Kay and The Wart, by Merlyn as well. From that moment on, all the events from the novel take place and the Wart finally finds himself back

Among ancient Greek and Romans warts of skin and genitalia were well known and more in number (Bäfverstedt, 1967). In past it was considered that these warts were due to the results of sexual intercourse. Payne in 1891 reported the contagious rise of common warts in late 19th century. In Italy the infectious nature of human warts were first demonstrated from the cell-free transmission experiment of ciuffo in 1907. The confirmation of infectious nature of genital warts and laryngeal papillomatosis was also done within 1920s. (see reviewSyrjänen and Syrjänen,

He wonders why the birds are just waiting in the sky as if they are waiting for a command, why they are restless, and he thinks it is strange that they are little birds and they are the type of the birds that normally keep to their own territory and don’t have a history of attacking people . When he looks out toward the coast, he sees the birds flocking in his direction and he believes that for some odd reason, they are going to come down to the

When her lover returned Perceval was gone, and the maiden was sitting alone crying. She told him the story of Perceval and he was very upset. Her lover told her that she had disgraced him and until he had killed Perceval her horse would have nothing to eat and she would not have any more luxuries.
