This allows Anna to develop more confidence in her knowledge and become a stronger, more assertive woman. When Elinor calls for Anna's help to deliver Mary Daniel's child, she is at first hesitant to assist because her own mother died during childbirth when she was just four years old. Elinor insists, however, telling Anna that "You know a very great deal more than you think you do" and eventually, Anna gives in and prepares to deliver the baby, recalling memories from her own first confinement to help her. Anna tries not to think about the fact that she is about to "invade the body of a living woman", however she quickly overcomes this thought, and tries to "...quiet that part of my mind hammering away about modesty and violation." Although she is unsure of what she is doing, she acts as though she does, as she thinks it important that Mary sees her acting confidently. Once her hands were inside of Mary, however, it seemed as though her flesh "felt as familiar" to her as her own and Anna has little difficulty in helping her deliver the baby. Afterwards, they laughed and "for an hour, in that season of death," they celebrated a life. This particular event sees Anna developing a part of her that is confident and sure of her own knowledge and skills. Due to her experiences in birthing livestock, Anna is already equipped with the skills necessary to assist in childbirth but there exists a different part of her inside that is naturally gifted in midwifery and it is this part that truly allows her to shine and take control of what she can do thus leading her to discover her natural confidence and…

In order for this to work, Robin Hood would have to sell this idea to the Merrymen and the farmers and the townspeople. He has to convince them that the fixed transit tax will go towards their King’s ransom. This will help everyone feel loyal and patriotic to one common cause. The citizens already do not like the Prince John and they would likely unite together and support any strategy that would give them their king back. Robin Hood would also need to hire more lieutenants to help the already overworked ones that he has, given the state of discipline and other problems.…

Before reaching the farm, Robin decided to wait until dawn to return home. He slowly crept upon the unpopulated streets of nightfall. A few aged structures stood beside the maples as if the two were long-time acquaintances, helping the other in its times of trouble and doubt. The dark skies reminded Robin of his family: his little brother Damien, his parents Tom and Martha, and his big sister Barbara. Oh how unappreciatively he treated his family! Robin started to reminisce deeper of his memories back in the day. Tom, the days before his internals were incessantly drowning due to an exorbitant amount whiskey or rum, taught Robin lessons on life. One day, the lesson given to Robin was to load and fire an arrow. Tom’s teaching ability reflected unto Robin’s ability: Robin had almost no aim with the bow, but powered the arrows to an extreme sense. His arrows fired in every which way across the property with such power it would seem as if God Himself carried the arrow. As Robin shot arrows outside, Barbara practiced her horseback riding, deep in her own solitude. One of Tom’s arrows carried by God became miscarried by the Devil. The arrow redirected in the completely opposite direction and sliced the back of Barbara’s mouth and stuck out behind her head, killing her instantly. After this incident, Tom became an angry, drunken father. Martha, on the other hand, never knew of Barbara’s disappearance. She left the farm with few of her belongings and took Damien…
Robin Hood is England's most famous outlaw, who robbed from the rich to give to the poor. In Robin Hood's long history, his story has appeared in many forms, from verse to film. His path to outlawry, friends and enemies has been just as diverse. I will first describe the parts of the Robin Hood legend that have remained constant throughout his entire 800 or more year history.…
700 years have passed since he ‘robbed the rich and gave to the poor’, stood alone against a tyrannical monarchy and shouldered the blame for his people. The legend that is Robin Hood has endured the test of time and continues to fascinate pop culture today. Additions to the tale through oral tradition have exaggerated his escapades and muddied the truth, which begs the question: Who was the real Robin Hood? From a historical standpoint there have been three distinct types of Robin Hoods. In the earliest form he had no female companion: his is a man’s world demonstrated by the late medieval ballads and his first reference in literature (William Langland’s allegorical poem Piers the Plowman in 1377). The second form arose in the sixteenth century where he had a Maid Marian, just as unlawful as he. The last, the Americanized product of Hollywood we find today. “The identity of the man matters less than the persistence of the legend” Although the stories behind the three may differ, his resistance against oppression is consistent throughout.…
