The supposed “castle” of the Green knight was actually the Green Chapel in which the Knight tested Gawain’s life through faithfulness. The Green Knight believes that King Arthur’s men are all puny cowards, so Gawain requests that he takes on the challenge. Gawain accepts the Green Knight’s challenge, “To the Green Chapel come, I charge you, to take such a dint as you have dealt … That your neck should have a knock on New Year’s morn” (221-223). The Green Chapel is the place where Sir Gawain will meet his fate. The chapel represents the honesty of Sir Gawain.
Richard Preston writes The Wild Trees telling the journey of Steve Sillet and a group of other amateur young adults going through these Redwood forests. He starts the story off in the late eighties in the fall season. A group of college students at Reed College in Portland starts the story. On their journey they are finding what out what is unknown to many, simply because it has just been over-looked. The adventure these guys take are some what very dangerous and by just one jump could possibly have things turn out wrong.
In his trials, Gawain faces a moral battle throughout the text. “True to the chivalric code, Gawain has not betrayed the lord; however, he feels guilty about keeping the green scarf” (Sir Gawain 83), this statement points out the moral trials and battles that Gawain faced, instead of the physical ones Beowulf did. In the outcomes, Beowulf kills his monster, however Gawain chops his monster’s head off but doesn’t kill him, “The knight did not falter or fall, but at once he sprang up on his strong legs and jumped into the crowd and snatched up his head by the hair and held it high for all to see” (81). Gawain isn’t able to kill his monster but later, destroys his monster with his morals. The monster being his pride and selfishness.
Though Gawain pridefully upholds the highest perfection of moral codes and Christian knighthood, he comes to recognize a painful lesson; that all men are merely human, and thus imperfect as nature created him. Gawain’s first test is exemplified by Green Knight’s challenge to exchange blows with an axe. The Green Knight presents a most fearsome sight to the Christian court of King Arthur, for his vigor

She learns the anything truly important is worth overcoming many obstacles to achieve, like the field of flowers that made you very sleepy and stealing the broom from the wicked witch. She learned that weak and helpless people can defeat evil, if they work together. She learned this from the lion that was not very brave but became brave when it came to working together with the tin man and scarecrow to save Dorothy from the wicked witch’s castle. She learned that we limit ourselves, like the tine man, scarecrow and lion who swore they did not poses any of the gifts they seeked out for. Those are many of the other lessons Dorothy learned throughout this strange yet unforgettable journey through Oz.
They also encounter unspeakable evil including Sauron the creator of the Ring, the Nazgul or Dark Riders of Mordor, Gandalf's nemesis The Balrog, the evil wizard Saruman the White. Through it all the friendship between these four Hobbits never waivers it only gets stronger as the journey goes on. Fate caused Frodo to inherit the Ring and it became his destiny to destroy it, but he undertook the task by choice to save the Shire and the Hobbits he cared about. It was his choice alone and while Sam felt responsible for Frodo as did his cousins Merry and Pippin it was their choice to accompany Frodo. While friendship may not have been the original reason Frodo left the Shire with these three it was definitely friendship and a strong sense of camaraderie that kept them together even after the journey became treacherous.

The Hobbit written by J.R.R Tolkien and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe written by C.S. Lewis are children’s classic fantasy novels. Both novels place strong emphasis on the heroic theme and primary character development.
Snowball doesn’t see him as a threat until it is too late due to clever organisation and planning. However, although he is more like the other animals than Napoleon, Snowball is by no means the same as them. ‘No sentimentality, comrade! … War is war. The only good human being is a dead one.’ Snowball is a ruthless leader who is committed to the revolution, so committed in fact that he indicates he’d be willing to die for Animal Farm.
