Longest trip.

I have been on many road trips in my life but recently i whent on a road trip with two of my friends. It was my first time driving a long distance with out my parents. we drove to sanfran and it was a very intresting drive. Geting there was easy but once i got into the city it was not so easy. all the dtreets are one way and i did even know where the building i was looking for was. but after driving around for a half hour i finaly found the place. now geting out was hard enough but on top of that it was late and i was going in the wrong direction. but after geting back on track and getting on the freeway we finaly madeit home. Barley!!!

Sir Gawin and Ragnell

Narrator: One day King Arthur went hunting in the forest with his servants, and soon they became separated. All of a sudden he found that his body was frozen and he could not move a muscle. A figure dressed in pitch-black armor approached him, saying,

Gromer: "Arthur, I have you in my power. You have wrongfully given my lands to Sir Gawain and for that, you will die unless you find the answer to a question I put to you."

Narrator: Arthur found that he could speak and asked,

King Arthur: "Who are you, and what is this question you wish me to answer?"

Gromer: "I am Gromer Somer Joure. If you would win your life, return here in twelve months with an answer to this question: What is it that every woman desires most?"

Narrator: than he was gone and the King found that he could move freely again.

Narrator: Once back to the court sir Gawain approached King Arthur and asks

Sir Gawain: “King Arthur what had happened in the woods”

Narrator: King Arthur told Gawain of what had happened to him in the forest. And sir Gawain replied with saying

Sir Gawain: “than I proposed that they ride and ask every woman they found what she most desires and collect the answers in a book.”

Narrator: They set out and asked women what they desired and soon they had a huge book of answers. But as many as they had found, they were still uneasy that any of the answers they had were the true one.

Narrator: Shortly before the King had to meet with Gromer Somer Joure, he rode again through the forest and had come across a hideously ugly woman, one who not only looked terrible with a foot-long dripping nose, donkey ears, and a gaping mouth with yellow teeth, but one who also smelled terribly. She stopped King Arthur saying

Dame Ragnell: “I have the right answer to your riddle that could save your life, but you have to agree to my terms to get the right answer” and could save his life, if he agreed to her terms.

King Arthur: “what are your terms?”

Dame Ragnell: "I am Dame Ragnell and I want to marry one of your most noble knights, Sir Gawain."

King Arthur: in a horrified voice “I can not promise you sir Gawain with out his consent and than I will return to you with his answer”

Narrator: He returned and explained the situation to Gawain. Without hesitation,

Gawain: “I will agree to marry her.”

Narrator: Arthur returned to the forest where Ragnell was waiting.

King Arthur: “Gawain has agreed to marry you but only if your answer is the one, but if one of the others we have collected is the one, the deal is off.”

Narrator: Satisfied with this, she gave Arthur the answer.

Narrator: On the appointed day, Arthur rode to meet with Gromer Somer Joure. Gromer appeared suddenly,

Gromer: “where is my answer to my question?”

Narrator: Arthur gave him the book with the answers they collected. Gromer looked it over,

Gromer: (Laugh in a deep laugh) “to prepare to die”.

King Arthur: "Wait, I have one more answer,"

Narrator: and Arthur gave him the answer

Gromer: (roared in frustration!) "Only my sister could have told you that! Go where you will, King Arthur, I will bother you no more."

Narrator: So Arthur returned to Ragnell and brought her back with him.

Dame Ragnell: I demanded to be married publicly and to have a great feast with all the nobles attending.”

Narrator: She was decked out in the most costly of dresses, but her manners repulsed everyone there. She ate great volumes of food with loud slurps and belches, food sometimes running down her chin.

Narrator: At last the wedding feast was over, and the couple led to their chamber. There Gawain gazed at the fire, reluctant to touch his bride, until she requested

Dame Ragnell: “kiss me Sir Gawain”.

Narrator: Bravely, he did so, only to find a most radiant woman in his arms. He stared speechless in wonder and, finally finding his words, ask

Sir Gawain: (shocked) “how could this be?”

Dame Ragnall: “My own brother, Gromer Somer Jure, had placed a spell on me which could only be broken if the best knight in the world had the courage to marry and kiss me”

Dame Ragnell: "I have waited in that shape until I found a man gentle enough to marry me. Now I offer you a choice: I can be fair by night and foul by day; or foul by night and fair by day. Decide which you want."

Narrator: Gawain thought for a while, thinking about the events that had lead to this moment, and then it came to him the answer he must give.

Sir Gawain: "I cannot make such a choice; that is for you to decide."

Dame Ragnell: "My lord, you are as wise as you are noble and true, for you have given me what every woman genuinely desires, sovereignty over herself. You will never see that hideous old hag again, for I choose to be fair from this time on."

Dame Ragnell: “You have discovered the solution to my brother’s riddle, which the greatest wish of all women is to be able to make their own decisions.”

Narrator: The gentle lady lived only five years with Gawain, and he mourned her death for the rest of his life.

Philosophical objection

what is wrong with blogging. Threes student that says that he does not agree with it. its not like it goes against his religion well i guess it could be. But i highly drought it. He is probably just doing this to get out this assignment. or ma by he feels that blogging is kind of like a rumor. Macks scenes you post something people read it and it goes around like a rumor in a high school. But i doubt that a kid would be worried about such things. personally i just think he was just trying to be the class clone mack the class laugh and get out of work. What so bad about blogging. This is only my second time doing it and its not so bad. I mean aim only doing it because it is a class assignment but its not like its so bad. I'd probable never do it on my own but i see why people do it. probably for the same reason the people have journals. But blogging is a little more exciting. people don't know how you are. they can read it and post what they think. Some people need to wright down there feelings to understand them. and that's OK some times it better to say whats on your mind and other times its better to blog what on your mind.

My Hero's

My Hero’s
The three people that are my heroes are my uncle Noah my Papa and my Father. They are who I think of when people ask me who my heroes are. They are some of the hardest working people I have ever meet and would go out of there own way just to help you with any thing you are doing. They have not just one but most of the qualities that it tacks to be a hero.
My first hero is my uncle Noah he is one of the coolest guys I have ever know. He may be fiffity but you could never tell. And inside he is still just a kid. And some times he plays like a kid to. He is hard working and would help out any one if they needed it. He is relaxed all the time and determined to do thing the best the first time. He can build any thing with his hands even with just junk.
My second hero is my papa I have looked up to him all my life. I wish I could be as hard working and smart as he is some day. He is one of the strongest persons I know he has worked at the mill for over 20 years and is still working today. He is reliable and compassionate he would help you even if he had to give up his own time. He has taught me to always try my best and to lision and to learn new things.
My third hero raised me and helps me get me where I am today. My father is one of the smartest men I have ever known. Any problem there is I know he could think of a way to Mack it work. He is also one of the funniest people I know he is all ways making people laugh. But the reason he is one of my hero is because he always does the right thing no matter what he will mack things better.
Every person has different hero’s for different reasons but they all have the same traits. So why should you care what I think a hero is or who my hero is. Well because we all my have different hero’s but the all have the same qualities whether they are young or old the things that make a hero a hero apply to all of them. But the reasons my hero’s are my hero’s is because they are my family and they have always looked out for each other and myself.
