Sir Gawain’s actions reflect the social mores of 14th century England, where a good knight was expected to follow the code of chivalry, no matter the cost. Sir Gawain’s character traits are bolstered, awarded and amplified by his status as a member of King Arthur’s court. The Gawain poet writes: “In peerless pleasures passed they their days, The most noble knights known under Christ, and the loveliest ladies that lived on earth ever, And he the comeliest king, that the court holds, For all this fair folk in their first age were still” (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight lines 50-55). The comparison to Christ is significant in that, although it acknowledges the inferiority of Arthur’s knights to God, the poet clearly dares to make the comparison, relating Christ, who is perfect, to the knights, who are human beings and capable of committing sin. Thus, one can infer that the knights perceive themselves as earthly manifestations of God himself.

As the saying goes, ‘Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.’ Boy Scouts has taught me to always do my best in everything I do, to be a trustworthy citizen and to always try to make myself, and those around, better. One of the greatest achievements of my life, and something that has changed my future for the better was attaining the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 14. Striving for the rank of Eagle Scout has helped me hone my leadership skills and has helped me to succeed in all my endeavors. To me, the Eagle rank is not just something that can be earned or achieved; it is a symbol of how you should act and react. The award symbolizes someone that is always there for others, is always ready to strive for the best, and someone that is ready to take
Inaugural Address of Theodore RooseveltSaturday, March 5, 1901 My fellow-citizens, no people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of well-being and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of the ages, and yet we have had to pay few of the penalties which in old countries are exacted by the dead hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any alien race; and yet our life has called
