Graham Luber Comparison Blog.
Upon comparing the The Miller's tale and The Knight's Tale, they both seem to have some common points. Love, greed, jealousy, are all important aspects too these stories. In the nights tale you had two knights Arcita and Palamon who were cousins. They ended up fighting each other to win over the girl called Emily. The story ends in the death of one cousin,(Chaucer lines:693-696) "O Sire, what need for more ado? We have deserved our deaths at the hands of you. Two woeful wretches are we, two captives That are encumbered by our own sad lives;". Both stories were really arbitrary the way the end. Such as in the Miller's Tale these three men are all after the same woman, and she is very callow because she is young. She likes to mess around with their heads which isn't good because it ends up in result with the town thinking her husband is mentally insane. Basically these two teach morals about being in love and what are the consequences that can come from obsession. With these stories they have a contiguous flow about what messages they teach about the seven deadly sins.

Graham's Beowulf Argument Paragraph
It seems that Beowulf is more than just an incredible warrior, whose fame has reached all corners of the known world. To some you could say he is Christ like in his manner. Immutable he may seem. Savior to some, some more than others. Beowulf came to faraway lands not just for fun or for fame, or for even wealth for that matter. It was his good heart that led to where danger and wrong doings were taking part. For one instance in the book is when he travels across the sea with a ship of men to help the king of Danes in ridding themselves of Grendel. Beowulf helped their king, and with many others he aided soldiers, kings, in war and in troubled times. It seems that some people over look the fact that he could be called one of the greatest peace keepers ever.
