I am particularly excited for Weeks 12 and 13. I am a longtime fan of all stories surrounding King Arthur. Once I caught the roundtable bug, it became my go-to literature world in which to explore and immerse myself in. 

(King Arthur dominated a large portion of my childhood interest in folklore)
There are so many children's books surrounding the material that I always had something to read that was on theme. Nursery Rhymes will be really interesting as well. That is such a unique form of storytelling and a style of writing that many adults are familiar with but not accustomed to. Getting to go back and explore that form of writing will help me develop some skills that otherwise wouldn't have been honed.

Already this semester we have learned about Herod and his Roman installation as a client-king. It is wildly interesting to me to be...

[continued from last week ] Teacher and Pupil After this interaction, Ligh and Asus became inseparable. Asus was thrilled to share her tricks to a mentee, something that was surprising to Ligh and those who were familiar with the arrangement. Whenever Asus was not performing, she was speaking with a  deliberate voice in hushed conversations with Ligh. As the worldwide tour continued, the two could be seen together at all hours of the day, crouching at the stone-working table and speaking in hushed voices. By the end of the journey, Ligh had become a master at performing all but one of Asus' tricks. The one that remained in need of work and continued studies was Asus' famous ability to turn gold into lead. The other abilities, from works of true alchemy to basic skills surrounding sleight of hand, had all become second nature to the young apprentice.
