King Arthur's Castle: Myth Or Beauty?
“Okay.” Gwen blew out a long breath and closed her eyes. An image immediately came to mind, one of the children’s bookstore called King Arthur’s Castle, which was three doors down from the café where she worked. It was her favorite place in the world. The owner, Annis, created small reading nooks out of industrial cardboard that she painted on the outside to look like castle walls. Inside each nook there was a theme, and the artwork featured either knights, princesses, dragons, or a castle kitchen.

Gwen had a woman-crush on Annis, the 50-something-year-old owner with fiery red hair down to her waist. Annis was a creative, sharp, savvy business woman who treated her young patrons wonderfully. She answered their endless questions, even when she knew they wouldn’t buy anything. And not only was she smart and successful, Annis was kind. She held fundraisers at her store for Our Harvest, the local food bank that Arthur’s best friend, Merlin, ran. She

She gave her ass a spank, then slid out of her thong and spun back around. As Gwen had threatened to do, she’d gotten a Brazilian wax. Arthur preferred hair on Gwen, but the newness of this tiny “landing strip,” as Gwen called it, made his cock ache. He couldn’t wait to explore the details of this smooth wax job.

“Sorry, can’t wait.” Arthur shot to his feet and bent Gwen over the bed. He went to his knees and spread Gwen’s legs apart. From behind, he ran his tongue up and down Gwen’s slick cleft, licking and tasting until she’d come with a sharp cry.

Arthur buried himself in her, but within three strokes he was done, climaxing with a violent shudder. “Sorry.” He tried to catch his breath. “You really turned me on.”

That had been a little over a month ago. Arthur had not picked up a hint of depression from Gwen at that time. Yes, she was still low about the loss of her father, but suicidal? Nothing about her behavior or demeanor pointed to

    She works in a garden and farms and cultivates just as well as a man and never fails to amaze her husband of her skills. The story starts with her husband asking her to go into town for a nice dinner date night after he goes into the hills with their sun to look for some steers. As her husband goes off with the son, a stranger comes along their ranch and seeks for directions, as he is lost. His wagon cover reveals that he is a repairman for scissors, pans, and all other sorts of tools. He strikes a conversation and seems to be extremely interested in Elisa. However, there is slight tension within their conversation because it is obvious that he is looking for work to feed himself for the night, but she does not want to give in to his marketing scheme. He advertises that he can make any old tool or pan look brand new and it will be of an advantage to Ms. Allen; it is not until he asks for her chrysanthemums as a gift to an old lady friend down the road that Elisa begin to loosen up. Flattered by his praise to her planting work and feeling as if she should owe him something, Elisa digs out some old aluminum stove pots for him to fix. As he is repairing them, she asks him about life on the road and shows that she would love to live like a man despite his comments that it is dangerous for a woman to live like him. She pays him fifty cents and jokes that he might be coming along some new competition on the road because she too, can ring out the dents of any pots and sharpen scissors better than anyone else out there. They say their farewells and Elisa begins to get ready for dinner. She showers and…

    Have you ever spoken to your friend, and stopped for one second to consider not only what he is saying, but also how he is saying it? The language, the structure and what this tells us about his voice. One can argue that the ‘voice’ is incredibly important. It is the ‘voice’ that enables Human beings to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas orally to one another. Universally, we find there is a distinct importance on this idea, as despite the circumstance, the ‘voice’ provides us with important insights into the individuals and the messages they are conveying. However, in particular it is the language that individuals utilise at their exposure, which creates the power in their voice. For instance, we find that simple things such as the use of formal language juxtaposed to colloquial language, emotive language compared to rigid and objective language, all play a part in the representation of the ‘voice’. The film ‘The Castle’ and the song ‘You are the voice’ by John Fernham in particular, give us clear insights into not only the notion of voice, and how language influences ones voice, but rather Australian voices in particular. Throughout these texts, the power of language is used to represent ideas about the differences between the ‘authority’ and the ‘underdogs’ and their power and powerlessness respectively. By association, we find that the Australian voice is then further revealed through the exploration of language, as we see notions of justice, mateship and the Aussie battling mentality – central aspects of Australian culture and the Australian voice.…

    The legend of King Arthur can be traced as far back as the fourth and fifth centuries. But the earliest tales of Arthur were almost nothing like they are today. There were no wandering minstrels, or ladies–in–waiting, or knights in shining armor taking on bold quests to defend their ladies. Instead, there were tales of giants, and magic cups, and invaders from a foreign land. In some ancient versions of the legend, Arthur is a hero whose deeds are comparable to those of Hercules. In more modern versions, he is merely a king whose knights are the real heroes of the story. The earliest tales of Arthur were spread largely by word of mouth, and very few written accounts survive. Of the ones that do, we do not have the original documents, only copies…
