This relates to how people hold you up to high expectations and it feels like you just aren't good enough when you can't meet them.]]> 2018-01-18 20:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/williamssh11754/gwjspm6nj9j6/wish/222609786 williamssh11754 https://padlet.com/williamssh11754/gwjspm6nj9j6/wish/222610213 The reacurring motif that lead me to determine the theme is fighting. Throughout the entire poem the knight is fighting monsters, and fighting evil. At the end of the poem the knight is faced with a challenge that he can't overcome, just like being met with expectations that you can't achieve.]]> 2018-01-18 20:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/williamssh11754/gwjspm6nj9j6/wish/222610213 williamssh11754 https://padlet.com/williamssh11754/gwjspm6nj9j6/wish/222610540

After all of the great things said about the knight, it is suprising and ironic that the knight would fail the last task.]]> 2018-01-18 20:21:46 UTC https://padlet.com/williamssh11754/gwjspm6nj9j6/wish/222610905
