  • St. Lucy's School For Girls Raised By Wolves And The Cathedral Analysis

    993 Words  | 4 Pages

    The authors of both “St. Lucy’s School for Girls Raised by Wolves” and “The Cathedral” use narrative in multiple ways to craft their short stories. Although very different in genre (science fiction vs. contemporary fiction), both pieces use the first-person perspective to fabricate meaningful experiences for the audience. In “St. Lucy’s School for Girls Raised by Wolves,” author Karen Russell tells the story of a special school designed to assimilate young girls into modern society after they have spent the majority of their lives as part of a wolf pack. The short-story has undertones of a metaphor describing every child’s struggle to grow up, and for this reason, the fact that the narrator is an adolescent girl is significant.

  • Sir Gawain And The Green Knight Christian Analysis

    784 Words  | 4 Pages

    During the era that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was written, there was the fusion of two religions coming together. The Pagan religion was the former belief system, but Christianity was on the rise. This is visible through the five sets of five that are discussed when describing Sir Gawain as the ideal knight. The five sets of five include the five joys: Annunciation, Nativity, Resurrection, Ascension, and Assumption; the five senses: sight, hearing, scent, taste, and touch; the five wounds that Christ received on the cross, Gawain’s five fingers, and five characteristics that everyone must follow: friendship, fraternity, purity, politeness, and pity. Gawain personifies all of these in such a way that he as himself can be viewed as the Christian religion’s ideas and beliefs.

    Since then, it has been “considered to be the cup from which Christ drank during the Last Supper and the one used by Joseph of Arimathea to catch his blood as he hung on the cross”(Lupack). Additionally, the Holy Grail may have been a reflection of events that were taking place in the Middle Ages. It is apparent that both the Grail quest and the Crusade have the element of courageous knights going on a great quest to bring back a sacred object and both fail in the end. The Holy Grail might have been intended to serve as a moral reminder to the people of Britain. Besides Merlin and the Grail, Boron added the Sword in the Stone, and expanded on the Round Table.
