Parzival essay
When we had to write an essay on Parzival I am very proud of my piece because I had a good thesis statement and strong body paragraph’s also I had good evidence to back up my idea. I learned that TEEAC (topic sentence, explanation, evidence, analysis,conclusion) makes your writing a lot better. I can continue to do my best work in the future by having good and strong body paragraph.
Asking questions in life is very important because it leads to learning. In Parzival by Katherine Paterson, the main character, Parzival, does not know much about life, as he lives with his mother in the middle of the forest. When Parzival goes off to the real world he has no “street smarts” whatsoever and is very naive. Parzival goes on many adventures and his asking questions helps him in many ways. Sometimes Parzival does not ask questions,and he faces many consequences. Parzival’s ability to ask questions in order to gain knowledge helps him a lot, including becoming a knight, a king and finding his siblings.
Parzival asked questions to some knights he saw in the forest he found out more about life and was destined to be a knight. Since Parzival was raised alone in the woods with his mother he did not know of God and knights and when he met the knights and asked questions about being a knight he was destined to become a knight. As soon as Parzival got home he asked his mom about knights and wanted to be one. “And then ran to tell his mother all that he had seen and heard.”(p.9)One day Parzival came to Arthur’s court where he could become a knight, and he was very eager to become a knight. “Make me a knight!”(p.24) Also he wanted armor very eagerly so he kills a red knight right who has armor right away.”The red knight fell to the ground.”(p.28)Here Parzival asking questions helped him in many ways such as becoming a knight. Asking questions helped Parzival to become a knight which eventually made him a king.
When Parzival was at wild mountain he asked the question why the king was so hurt, which made him a king. Parzival arrived at wild mountain one day, and he asked the question why the king was so sick. The king became better because the question heals the king, and Parzival was king.He came back to ask the question and became king “The grail knight had come.” (p.122) Parzival healed the king and became the king. “Anfortas was no longer king. Glady, he gave crown to Parzival and became one of the templars whose life was devoted to the grail.” (p.123) Asking questions helped him here because he soon was king and helped Anfortas.Asking questions helped Parzival because he was a king and later found his siblings.
Later Parzival meet some of his siblings he did not know who there were and asked questions. Posterior he found out that they were his siblings.Parzival has meet a lot of his siblings over time, but did not know it was them so he asked questions and found out that they were his siblings.Parzival meets his brother and asked to know who he is. “Who are you bold knight.”(p.114) As well he meets his uncle by asking questions about god. “God will help, but where was his help for me?” (p.101)When Parzival meets his siblings he soon finds out who they are by asking questions, and that helps him. Since he meets his brother by asking questions he goes on a journey with him.For Parzival asking questions helped him meet his siblings and much more great things.
Because Parzival has not much knowledge when he leaves his mother as young boy asking questions helped him a lot for example becoming a knight finding his siblings, and becoming king. When Parzival does not ask questions he faces hard times and many consequences such as wild mountain he does not ask the questions and many horrible things happen.
