Jones

1) I think the title implies an idea of the only crusade worth while. The quest for the grail may under mind how important the actual grail is. The last crusade promotes an idea of the grail to end all Grail's type of thing. If Indiana does indeed find the grail then their would be no need for any other crusade.
8) The grail must be chosen from all of the false ones just as only the most appropriate knight for the job can obtain the grail. Indiana obviously has been the knight for the crusade and he had to gain the grail to save his father. Therefore, his quest would only be complete if by some other force such as the hand of the lord were to guide him into his decision.

last day Small World

Persse- This character is seen throughout as the main character for the most part. He was on the grail quest from the beginning of the book. We discussed how he is supposed to be the Perceval character and follows alot of the same path. He was green when coming onto the scene as a brand new teacher. The question would be why he ended up loving Cheryl instead?


- He found out his true love was Cheryl as appose to Angelica and he can also not have her. Just like his grail quest she is unavailable and he finds that she had been fired and was traveling across the world.

small world three

1) How do we see some knights progress?
-We see the one knight get his book review done in a superb manner. He is very happy and finds that it is not just because of Zapp who many look to as a leader but on his own accord. He finds that two newspapers want to cover him and it is as if he has one a major tournament.
2) How do you read the end of the text?
-Not every not is of the chivalrous manner. We see this when this particular knight decides to withhold his secret from his wife. It is hard to tell if there is a legitimate reason or if he simply does not see his maiden as worthy of the news. Either way great accomplishments can happen to people that are not necessarily perfect characters.
