This may give the troops a greater will to fight not only for themselves but for their families as well. Next she mentions “rewards and crowns” paid to all noble and successful troops. This gives the troops motivation to win the battle for they can benefit personally from victory as well. As you can see the Queen motivates her troops in a couple of different ways. She fills her troops with a will to survive for their families, gives them motivation that they will be rewarded with the outcome of victory, and also fills them with patriotism which is the inspiration to protect their country.
The First Knight may only be a movie but this motion picture’s characters displays a very important code of rules that was actively present during the medieval era. This was the Code of Chivalry, and it was fallowed by all knights of this era. The code stated rules to abide by such as “Live to serve King and Country” and “Never abandon a friend, ally, or noble cause.” Knights respected and honored the Code of Chivalry from birth, just as the Bible is to Christians or the Quran to is to Muslim. There was many codes within The First Knight that helped shape the film and allowed it to become, in some cases, historically accurate. There may have been many but there are three that stood out to me in the viewing of this movie.
They were both part of the Feudal System (Doc A). They both swore to their lords that they would protect them. Both the Knights and Samurais were very loyal to their lords, but the Samurais were more honorable and respectful to the lords, because they dedicated their life and also their families (Doc B). Overall they both were very similar in the way they served their lords. The major difference was that for Knights the
INTRODUCTION A. Attention Grabber & Introduction statement: Our national flag, the epitome of our democracy, we all fly it with pride. It symbolizes so many great aspects of our freedom, but yet nothing more symbolic than how it represents the ultimate sacrifice paid by our men and women in uniform. The flag reminds us of the rights, privileges, and freedoms we so dearly enjoy today. Lest we forget our service members for they paid the final costs.
She continues her speech my talking about how she has placed her trust in the “loyal hearts” and “good-will” of her “subjects”. This phrase shows her superiority and status as Queen as she refers to the soldiers as her “subjects”; however it can also be seen as loving or kind as she praises them at the same time, this once again shows her more feminine or loving side. This can be proven quite effective in her speech as she does not deny the fact that she is a woman and nor does she try and make her speech more masculine, however she is trying to prove that she has the will and the courage of any king. She states this when she uses the antithesis “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king”, by using this contrast and imagery in the phrase she is trying to say that she knows what they are thinking but they don’t know her passion. The fact that she is admitting that she is a “feeble” woman makes it much harder for the soldiers to criticize her and it makes her seem more impressive.
In addition, Anna Comnena’s genuine belief in her father for not only being morally sound during his reign, but extremely strong in his strategic planning, creates an endearing, but still effective, record of history. Anna Comnena’s strong background in education, her status as a princess, and even her gender, has played significant roles in the fact that we would not have the insight we do if it were not for this woman. But greater than all of these attributes, was Anna’s admiration for her father, Emperor Alexius I that created a unique window that we see today. Anna's pride in

This story has many important lesson, an ample amount I could benefit from myself. One major theme in the book was the importance to know and respect ones history. Throughout the book Sundiata shows great respect for what came before him. For example, his admiration of Alexander the great and how he wanted to somewhat embody the essence of a similar spirit or how even in his fathers death he still honored the alliances created by his father which later on helped him on becoming a great ruler. I think in today’s context we should take from this to honor our ancestors and take heed of their knowledge and wisdom because we can all gain from their experiences.
