True Bravery

I really enjoyed this reading! The alliteration and rhyming reminded me a lot of children’s books. Despite the light and playful wording, the story line was very well-suited for all audiences. The ending was my favorite part. Gawain demonstrates an often-neglected part of being a real hero. He shamefully recounts his mistake, and he is very upfront with Arthur and the rest of the kingdom about his cowardly actions. Even in his shame, he is renowned as a hero for his bravery and honesty. I think Gawain reminds us that sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is be honest about their failures.
