The Drawing of the Sword
- One of my favorite parts of King Arthur's story
- Idea that if there was no king, the country would basically fall apart
- London! And Christmas!
- Arthur was the foster-child
- The fact that Arthur was able to pull out the sword so easily. I really like this part.
- Arthur meant to do something nice for his brother, but his brother in return tried to steal what was rightfully his. --> not right, however it's good that he eventually told the truth
- I like that Arthur was humble about it. He didn't get conceited and was not power hungry
- Could turn this story around and add a love interest early on
- Guenevere
- Even in this story, I could add an interesting snippet of Guenevere and Arthur's relationship before marriage besides the one told
- Gift of a round table
- "The Round Table is dearer to me than great riches."
- Quick preparations
- I like the good deeds Arthur was willing to do like making the young man into a knight easily.
- "St. Augustine, which is in the White Forest and may only be found by adventure." I like this set up
- Chaus
- Scary dream that was brought upon Chaus
- Connection between reality and dream with the knife and candlestick
- Gory turn of events when the knife was drawn out and the dream somewhat turned into real life
