The Merry Adventures of RobinHood by Howard Pyle, Pages 1- 28.

In merry England long ago, there was a famous criminal who lived carefree lives in the forest with his friends. His name was Robin Hood, and no archer was his equal, nor was there ever such a band as his hundred and forty merry men. Robin Hood had not always been an outlaw. Until one day he got bet with some people about he can shoot a deer even more 300 yards away. Then without question he shot a deer but that’s one of the king’s deer. So after that day he became a outlaw. One day a strong man was competition to shoot with Robin Hood. Although the strong man hit the bark in the very center, but Robin Hood took shot his arrow hit the end of the man’s arrow and splintered it. After this competition he invited the man join them. The man agreed and introduced himself his name is John Little. Robin Hood’s reward money became 200 pounds, a sheriff needed someone had volunteered but nobody wanted it. One day a tinker thought he was smarter than Robin Hood so he could catch him and get the reward money. But he still failed and also joined Robin Hood’s group.



I am interesting in this book, even when I was young, I read this book. I like this story, however it’s a little difficult to me. Because some vocabulary are slang or their joke words so I can’t understand their humor, but this book describes very clearly. I can understand why Robin Hood became a criminal and how to meet John Little and someone else joined to be Robin Hood partners. I want to read this more because it has lots of details that I don’t know before.

I also love this story. I think it teaches an important, and subversive, lesson -- that sometimes you must break the law if you want to do the right thing. Of course, the big question is, when is the law terrible enough that you are justified in breaking it? And, also, are you prepared and willing to endure the consequences? Some great men in history, such as Martin Luther King Jr., have done this.

Did you write the first part of your blog? I think you got those sentences from somewhere else. Remember, I only want YOUR words.
