@B_A_Southworth Yeah I totally agree. Finally, we find a author and main character that we can relate to on a personal level #ch1206 #ch1002 #divc0m

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

This was a proper last reading because it concluded with the descriptions of the good in this world, since all we’ve been studying is the war #divc0m #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

@medievalsarah I agree! It’s interesting to see how both sides, good and evil play a part into the last couple readings and how they are important for the authors emotional reactions #divc0m #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

Dante does a great job of explaining the consequences of the evils of this world. Some of these evils we have no control over. #divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

@nickolas_des23 The way I see it, is within infant mortality there cant always be good, there will always be an equal evil. Babies are portrayed in heaven many times so I assume they must also be in hell #divc0m #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

Do we think Dante’s interpretations hell is a warning to people to live their lives as well as they can? Or is it simply a description of the evils of this world?#divc0m #ch1206 #ch1002

#mand3v1ll3 #ch1002 #ch1206 Is there any point in this travel narrative where John Mandeville has a derogatory view of the "others"? Does he view the "others" as civilized or uncivilized?

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

I would have loved to go on a journey like that! to see other cultures, other societies and see how they live and operate changes your view on how you see the world back home. But to each their own :)

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

Mandeville's travels is an important story for us to read because it is an early effort to describe the world at the time. Without the tech that we have today, this would have been used as a "window" into seeing these other "worlds" #ch1002 #ch1206 #mand3v1ll3

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

This is important because God sees past what we have already done wrong, and he looks past everything he will do in the future #islmtrvl #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

When traveling to a new place it is important to realize people have different beliefs and views as you do, but that doesn’t mean you can live them the same #islmtrvl #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

I see a lot of ways this reading relates to the culture about the growing west at that time #islmtrvl #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

Nope. #ch1002 #ch1206 #brutchon

Merlin is one of my favorite characters found in this reading. Not only in TKOB, but merlin (or forms of merlin) are shown in HUNDREDS of other stories, showing the importance of the roles of some of these archetypal characters we learn about in these readings #ch1206 #brutchron

in The History of The Kings Of Britain, we see a common pattern from most of the other stories that we have read. There is a struggle between the colonizers and the original societies. This controversy is important because the applications could still be made today

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

@princessdejjj @KeelyEshenbaugh this is a great question! i would say, as a leader you must balance fear and love to earn respect. If your king is too nice then youll be ran all over, if the ruler is too harsh, then the people will revolt. A balance is much needed #shahnmh #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

on page 107, Rostam exclaims a poem, stating how he will try to be the best man he can be by raising his grandfather, the king. This is important because it shows how heros in these stories are always trying to improve themselves. #shahnmh #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

On pages 104 and 105, we see a similar allegory to many of the other stories we have read relating the differing traits of men and women and how they effect the natural world. #shahnmh #ch1002 #ch1206

[brian walters @medievalbrian]

With out war, there is no history. Man vs Man has always been documented so that we can figure out how to live through these situations in the present day. We must read about war to even learn the struggles with ourselves. #shahnmh #ch1002 #ch1006

[Sophie Defrenchi @SDefrenchi]

Just a little tired of constantly reading about war #ch1205 #ch1002 #shahnmh
