The Once And Future King Book One

I really loved when Merlin swore, and the he ended up flying somewhere. That seems to be the most petty lesson that he taught Wart, but Ireally liked it. It was the lesson I remember the most, he was just like, and that should teach you not to curse. My favorite lesson with the animals was the badger. There was an important lesson to that. All living beings started out
the same, and just because man kind is "smarter" then the animals, dosen't mean we rule. It means we have the responsibility to protect the lessers.

With Kay and Arthur you see a really big diffrence. Kay seems to have more pressure on him, making him insecure and a bit bossy and 'above' Arthur. Arthur had no idea of his parantage and he thought that he would be spending the rest of his life carrying around Kay's things. Wart had no pressure on him to exceed at what he had to do in his life. I think thats also the reason why he was crying when he get the sword. It wasnt exactly happiness or releif that his brother wouldn't be bossing him, it was more that he now had to rule and he had the pressure on him now. I think it was also the people that he looked up to all of his life were now bowing down and looking up to him. It was just so overwhelming, so he burst into tears.


I looked up anachronisms in the dictionary and if i read it right it was like Merlin. He was in both the past and the future, not in the right order.

Pellinore and the Questing Beast were I'd say almost my favorite. They didn't realize what they had until they lost it. Pellinore didn't realize how much he cared for the Questing Beast until he found it in the bushes after the Hog hunt. The Questing Beast, I don't think, knew that he had to be the center of someones attention in order to survive. Its like when someone gives up food. The person withers away to nothing, like the Beast. I'm notsure if this makes sense,but the food goes bad, like Pellinore. Not like he went bad as in his morals or anything, more like he went bad as in he was losing his touch, his questing touch.


One thing that I thoguht was funny was that Arthur was introduced by Kay as Wart, but the narrator kept it going, he was known as Wart. It struck me as a riot.
