D’Artagnan’s story is very interesting. While I read The Three Musketeers, I was in chaos because the stem-looking man and Jussac. At first, I thought the stem-looking man and Jussac is the same person. I recognized the two isn’t the same person after. When I recognized this, I was aghasted. I think ‘The Three Musketeers’ has three interesting portions. First, mentioned at the top, D’Artagnan’s first arrival at the inn of Meung. He met the stem-looking man first and not mentioned at the top, D’Artagnan also saw the beautiful lady named Milady. Second, D’Artagnan’s fights makes me to focus on the book. Each fights described well and based on fencing. Last, Milady and D’Artagnan’opposite relationship. When I read the story about Milady, I think she is very tenacious person. Because whatever she is in the situation, she attracted her background. Finally, she dead by her attracting attempts. Because of these, I think The Three Musketeers is really interesting

Then the king Alcinous inquires why his guest is crying. It is then Odysseus tells his host who he is and starts to tell him the story of how he got to where he is now.

The Court of Camelot places violence in a strict binary with courtesy.

Since he could not fight as a child, he now wishes to train and kill his father’s killer.
The Princess’s courtesy provides an example of the hospitality that exists throughout Odysseus’s interactions with the Phaeacians. When Odysseus asserts his plea for help, King Alcinous and Queen Arete offer “...to take him safely, comfortably, well and happily, with speed, to his own country, distant though it may lie.” (7.208-210). By granting Odysseus’s request, King Alcinous and Queen Arete demonstrate selflessness, a chief pillar of Greek culture. Later that night, as the Phaeacians hold a feast in honor of Poseidon, King Alcinous and the twelve princes offer Odysseus gifts to take on his return home (8.421-426).

When Odysseus arrives in the palace of Alcinoos, he is given a throne in which Alcinoos’ son Laodamas was previously sitting in, and is given a feast. “There they were, face to face: the King in his majesty, and the castaway with only his knowledge of man and his ready wit. Alcinoos held his hand out to Odysseus and led him from the hearth to a high seat where his own son was sitting, near himself, for he loved the courteous Laodamas best of all his sons.
