...101C 9 December 2015 Chinese and Western Table Culture This paper mainly focuses on the differences of table manners of China and Western countries. In our modern society, the cross-culture communication between China and Western countries becomes a hot issue and the influences of Chinese and Western etiquette are increasingly profound, which causes the differences in table manners. In this paper, we attach more importance to the different table manners of China and Western countries, such as, the different ways people sit for a meal, different dining concepts and different table wares and so on. Meanwhile, it helps us understand the situation. In this way, we can know well the western countries’ cultural background, and can set up a harmonious relationship with the westerns. The table manners of China and Western provide a good example of two types cultures that are arrangement of seat, tableware, and the way to finish eating. Arrangement of seat in Chinese, Chinese people always choose round tables when entertaining friends. There are lots of rules in China about where to put the round table and which seat takes precedence on the same table. In China, people used to use the number of the tables to define the size of banquet. In small banquet that have two tables, the table on the left or farther to the portal is the top table. At bigger banquets that have three or more tables, the rules are much more complicated. The top table is always on the right hand and farthest to...

...The Sword in the Stone of the Arthurian Legend King Arthur and the knights of the round table belong to a long line of books and stories of the Arthurian legend. Merlin, Lancelot, The lady of the lake, King Arthur, and Excaliber are all very important in the Arthurian legend. In this essay we will talk about King Arthur, the knights of the round table, and Merlin in the famous story, The sword in the stone. The Sword in the stone is a book about an adopted child named wart. He is of royal blood and does not know this. One day when Wart is in the forest, he finds a magician named Merlin. Merlin comes home with Wart and agrees with Sir Ector, Wart’s guardian, to become Wart’s tutor. Merlin goes about educating Wart by Transforming him into different animals. Through each transformation Wart experiences different forms of power, each being a part of how he should rule as king. The first transformation takes Wart and Merlin into the castle’s moat as a fish. They then meet the largest fish in the moat, which is an alligator who is the ruler. The alligator takes what he wants because of his size. In a speech about power, he tells Wart that “Might is right,” and might of the body is greater than might of the mind. Because of the way the alligator rules, his subjects obey him out of fear for their lives. Wart experiences this firsthand when the gator tells him to leave. He has grown bored of Wart, and if Wart does not leave he will eat him. The king uses his siz...

Arthur was born into a world of chaos and disorder where wars between different Celtic tribes were prevalent, different Saxon raids charged through the countryside brining fear and terror, and bandits and other criminals ran free all over the British isles, spreading crime like a disease. When Arthur took the throne however, this chaos dissolved within a matter of years and Britain became an ideal place of chivalry, honor, and justice. It is truly amazing how much of an influence that one man could have. With his advisor Merlin at his side and with the fellowship of the courageous knights of the Round Table, Arthur transformed a chaotic land of villainy and danger into a realm of peace, tranquility, and adventure. All of Britain looked up to Arthur and spoke of him with awe and admiration. The real Arthur was most likely a Celtic general that lived sometime in the 6th century. He advised various kings to unite together to fight the raiding Saxons. He was most likely a military genius. In those dark days, true heroes were very scarce and the people looked for someone like Arthur to tell stories of to their children around night fires. Through the legends, Arthur spread throughout the land. Minstrels and storytellers journeyed from village to village telling tales of Arthur and his prowess deeds. Soon, stories of the hero had reached over...

...Knights were an integral part in the medieval society. They are said to be brave and skilled in battle, but merciful to their opponents once they are vanquished. Much is written about medieval knights with the most famous tales about Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. However, as a matter of fact, knights in the Arthurian legend are brutal and their actions are not justified. Brutality and inappropriate behavior of knights are demonstrated through jousting tournaments. In The Once And Future King by T.H. White, King Pellinore and Sir Grummore joust, and their savagery natures as knights are revealed: “With a blood-curdling beat of iron hoofs the mighty equestrians came together. Their spears wavered for a moment within a few inches...

...Reading this romance, some may find it tedious or uninteresting. Once you continue to read, you will find the excitement and all the challenges that Sir Gawain faced. Sir Gawain expressed integrity by being the only knight to come forward and take on the challenge the Green Knight requested at the Round Table. Gawain was willing to put his life on the line for King Arthur, although there were many obstacles along the way; However, Gawain did demonstrate traits of a knight. Trying to live up to others expectations, Gawain challenges started when the Green Knight arrived at the Round Table, when he came across the castle while heading to the Green Chapel, and when he finally arrived at the chapel. The Green Knight arrived at the Round Table where King Arthur and his knights were celebrating Christmas and New Year. Unfortunately, the Green Knight came unarmed because he was not there to fight anyone. King Arthur invited him to stay and feast with them, but the Green Knight declined his invitation and told him that he was there because he heard that Arthur’s castle was the best around with the most virtuous men of all men. Furthermore, the Green Knight challenged Arthur and his knights to strike him then, a year later receive a strike in return. Not one stepped forward to accept the challenge so the...

...The Knightliest of Knights I find these passages significant because Sir Gawain shows how and what it takes to be a chivalric knight of the Round Table under King Arthur. The first time we see the chivalric knighthood of Sir Gawain is when he accepts the challenge presented in front of everyone from the Green Knight. During a time of feasting and frolicking, the Green Knight enters King Arthur’s court and makes his presence known to everyone. He then offers a challenge to everyone in the court, including the King and all of his knights of the Round Table. When a hush falls over the court and nobody steps forward to acknowledge the challenge, King Arthur takes the axe offered from the Green Knight and heaves it over his head. Before he can strike the Green Knight, Sir Gawain emerges and stops the King. He tells King Arthur that he will take the challenge and the melee shall be his. This is the first example we see of the chivalry presented by Sir Gawain. A knight must be loyal to his lord and to God and a knight must never run from a challenge; Sir Gawain definitely shows loyalty to King Arthur when he takes the challenge from the King so the King does not lose his life in the end being as the person who accepts the challenge has to give the Green Knight a strike from the same axe. The second time Sir Gawain’s chivalry is presented is when he sticks to the challenge he accepted from the Green Knight and finds him in a year’s time to give the Green Knight his due. Most...

From a conflicted and unhappy childhood, Parker rose to acclaim, both for her literary output in such venues as The New Yorker and as a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. Following the breakup of the circle, Parker traveled to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting. Her successes there, including two Academy Award nominations, were curtailed as her involvement in left-wing politics led to a place on the Hollywood blacklist. 1920: Parker's caustic wit as a critic initially proved popular, but she was eventually terminated by Vanity Fair in 1920 after her criticisms began to offend powerful producers too often. 1925: When Harold Ross founded The New Yorker in 1925, Parker and Benchley were part of a "board of editors" established by Ross to allay concerns of his investors. 1934: In 1934, she married Alan Campbell, an actor with aspirations to become a screenwriter. 1936: At the behest of Otto Katz, a covert Soviet Comintern agent and...

...King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table Chapter 1: Arthur and Merlin Read by Nathalie Drasse This very old story begins with Uther, a great king. He was a good man and he was king in the south of Britain. Other places were very dangerous at that time, but people did not fight in Uther's country. Uther loved a beautiful woman, Igraine, and he wanted to marry her. But she did not love him and he was very sad about that. Merlin was a very clever man and he knew a lot of magic. He could change into an animal or bird. Sometimes, when he used magic, nobody could see him. He also helped people with his magic, and one day he came to King Uther. 'You can marry Igraine,' he said. 'I will help you. But when you have a child, you will have to give the boy to me.', I will give him to you,' said the King. He married Igraine and later they had a baby son. They called him Arthur. When Arthur was three days old, a very old man arrived at the door of the King's house. It was Merlin. King Uther took the child in his arms and gave him to Merlin. Merlin took the child away. He gave the boy, Arthur, to a good knight. His name was Sir Ector. So Arthur lived with Sir Ector and his son, Kay, and the two boys were brothers. A short time after this happened, King Uther was very ill. He did not get better. He called for Merlin because he wanted to talk about the future of his country. Merlin came and listened to the King. 'I know that I am going to die,' King Uther said. 'Who will be king after me...

...The Truth Behind the Knight: The Presence of Archetypes in Sir Gawain & the Green Knight In the medieval story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, we are introduced to a young man, who, like many of young men, is trying to discover himself and travel through his rite of passage. He is trying to figure out who he is in life, and while in his journey, passes through many phases that mold him into one of the great Knights of the Round Table that old King Arthur wanted to serve with him. These phases affect everyone at some point in their lives. Whether it causes someone to take an iconoclastic stand against a certain more or folkway or if it enables a person to give serious thought to what life could mean, archetypes enable any protagonist in any story to take a journey to find the treasure of their true self. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Gawain was willing to take on the heroic quest and say yes to himself and, in doing so, became more fully alive and more effective to the knightly community and, inadvertently, the literary world. The purpose of the heroic quest is to find the gift retrieved from the journey and give the gift to help transform the kingdom, and in the process, the hero himself. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, three archetypes are present that displays the qualities of a heroic quest that leads Gawain to become a true knight in shining armor. The Innocent Hero Archetype, the Seeker Archetype, and the Lover Archetype forms the mold that Sir Gawain conforms...

...fact that this is his destiny. Even though he had not had much earthly success, he is told to accept the quest because God values his heart. This trait that Bors possesses proves his humility and worthiness for the quest exemplifying the new Christian Ideal. In conclusion, Beowulf submits to fate on his quest, proving himself worthy as an ideal German, while Sir Bors, an unlikely candidate for the grail, humbly accepts his consecrated quest and learns the value of a pure heart, showing why he is the ideal Christian. The story of Beowulf illustrates the hunting group of companions’ archetype throughout the book proving his Germanic- like devotion to both the Camitatus and his faithful Geat men; on the other hand, veteran knights at the round table humbly refuse a once in a lifetime offer expressing the new Christian ideal which was modeled to refurbish hope in the hopeless British lives. As Beowulf enters the last battle of his heroic career, he “addresses each companion” and submitting to his destiny he informs his loyal men that he will fight alongside them, “one final time” (Haney.7642). When the Geat hero Beowulf is about to finally meet his match, he considers the great Thanes above himself and realizes there would have been no success without them. Beowulf evidently illustrates why he is the ideal German because even after all the things he has achieved in his lifetime, he looks back and humbly says the Thanes are greater than him. His reward for all his loyalty to the Camitatus...

...Through the major female influence present in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Pearl Poet establishes women as powerful and essential. Lady Bercilak serves as a major plot component. In part four of the narrative, her husband tells Gawain “that belt you’re wearing… my wife gave it to you” (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight 2358-2359). While revealing his elaborate trick to Sir Gawain, Bercilak states that his wife gifted the green belt to Gawain. When he did not return the belt to Bercilak at the end of the third day, Lady Bercilak had succeeded in her job of tempting Gawain into choosing his own life over his code of chivalry. This revelation shows the cunning nature of Lady Bercilak. Although it seemed as though the lady had been simply...

...Unlike Beowulf, Sir Gawain is not a perfect caricature of the heroic standards of the period, but rather a more humanistic, flawed being. The chivalric code, a 14th century set of values and ideals which consists of honor, valour, and attitudes toward women, is present throughout the poem. Sir Gawain’s adherence to this code is often tested. In the beginning of the tale, a joyful celebration of Arthurian knights is interrupted by the intrusion of a man who “fared as a giant were made, / and over all deepest green (7.19-20).” The Green Knight challenges Arthur's knights to a game, taunting their honor by saying, "'Now is the revel and the renown of the Round Table / overthrown with the word of a wanderer’s speech, / for all duck down in dread without dint of a blow (14.13-15)!'" The tactic used is successful in rousing the Round Table, as one's honor was considered to be considered sacred at the time. Sir Gawain, one of the most esteemed Arthurian knights, rises to the challenge with the words, "'I beseech in plain speech / that this mêlée be mine (15.20-21).'" The rules of the game are simple: the Green Knight will allow whomever accepts his proposal to strike him with an axe, provided that the Green Knight be allowed to return the gesture in a year's time. This is the first scene in which the knight's immense bravery is displayed. He understands that the blow he will receive in a year may be fatal, but in order to preserve his honor and display his courage, he undertakes the challenge...
