Robin Hood has been a fascinating character for the young and old for centuries. The concept of a crook that would steal from the rich and give to the poor was someone who everyone has depicted in their minds. Although this is what most people believe is true, people wonder where does this heroic rebel really reside in history. The author of “The Real Robin Hood”, Sean McGlynn, reconsiders the origins of the popular myth and suggests a new contender for the original folk hero; not an outlaw from

does Robin Hood have? What issues need to be addressed? There are several key issues that Robin Hood has. The 1st problem addressed in the reading is the growing size of the Merrymen. Resources are becoming scarce to sustain the large size of the band. He is also having problems with discipline within in the band.

The novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie, fits some of the most important criteria that makes a good book. The three criteria that makes a good book is a hook that draws you in, a good conflict, and a relatable topic for the reader. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian has an excellent hook that wants you to read on. The first sentence in the novel is, “I was born with water on the brain” (p.1).

In the poem “Ballad of Birmingham”, Dudley Randall chooses to use standard ballad conventions to recreate this terrible time in American history. Ballads are poems that tell a story, most often associated with childhood or a childhood memory. The way he turns a story of a mother losing her child into a poem really makes the impact even stronger. Randall also uses the viewpoints of both the mother and daughter so the reader can understand all sides of the story. Ballads are typically stories in the

After being hit by waves of nostalgia for the past few days, I think it is good time to look back on a review I penned a few years ago. Exactly a decade ago, Hollywood produced not one, but two wonder-children (or rather, young adults). The unique backstory of an Oscar-winning film written by two frat boys fresh out of college enticed households across the country. The niched marketing of the film seemed to, in fact, destine it for greatness. Indeed, Damon and Affleck brought to the table a contemporary

Croatia. Summer 2015. I am sitting in the back of a stranger’s car on the way to a cemetery as a little girl in a yellow tutu reaches into her white sparkly purse on the seat between us and pulls out a seemingly endless group of bobble head pets. We don’t speak each other’s language so we communicate through hand signals while she tries to teach me the Croatian alphabet. She laughs at my funny pronunciation, and I smile at her enthusiasm for spelling every passing sign. I was traveling through Eastern

The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) tells a tale of thieves that behave more honorable than the nobles of their time. The bandits known as the Merry Men lead by a notorious thief and Errol named Robin Hood (Errol Flynn). He leads the Merry Men in treacherous deeds to steal from those who have the most in the land and give everything they take to lazy, scumbags, treacherous, poor people. They protect the helpless women and children from the noble knights and kings. This seems very confusing to most

There once was a girl named Tiffany Greene, me. This year is my first year attending Hephzibah Middle School. Therefore nobody really know me. When I got here at Hephzibah I was shy and I rarely spoke to anyone. My first impression of Hephzibah Middle School was that it was very large and also had lots of people.
