So courteous an outlaw as he was one
Was never none else found.

    Being different was considered an atrocious act of behavior for quite a while. Those that are different than most in anyway were shunned and ran off usually by a mob. Robin Hood was very different than most in his village as a result he was chased away by a very violent mob. After running as far as his feet would take him that day his mission now was shelter for the night. He thought he was all alone in the woods since he was disowned no one followed. He thought this until he heard a vicious snarl. Being a skilled hunter, he grabbed his bow and his arrow, but after seeing it was Bigfoot and there was no threat he mounted his bow on his back. Enjoying each others company and being thankful they were not alone they sat and talked.…

    The legend of Robin Hood has been around for nearly one thousand years. For the past several hundred years, Robin and his Merry Men have been known for stealing from the rich, particularly tax collectors, and giving to the poor; however, because this is still stealing and Robin had also killed at least one of the king’s deer, Robin and his men were known as outlaws. While they may have been outlaws, Robin Hood and his Merry Men were more like knights in the way that they dealt honorably with opponents in battle, defended the weak and helpless, and protected women and children.…

    The Red Baron

    Although to most people it may just be a brand of good tasting pizza, The Red Barron was actually a German fighter ace of World War I. His full name was Rittmeister Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen, who will be referred to as von Richthofen for simplicity 's sake. By the Germans, he was called "der rote Kampfflieger" (The Red Battle-Flyer), the French called him "le Diable Rouge" (Red Devil), and in the English-speaking world he is known as "The Red Barron." In a time of ancient aircraft technology when twenty air victories insured a pilot legendary status, von Richthofen had eighty victories, and he is still considered even today as the ace of aces (The Red Barron).…

    At first, he seems like a pretty good dad. When Paris comes sniffing around for thirteen-year-old Juliet's hand in marriage, Capulet puts him of, citing Juliet's young age and even suggesting that he'd like his daughter to marry for "love" (1.2.2-3). This, by the way, is pretty uncommon in Shakespeare's plays. Most fathers (like Baptista Minola in The Taming of the Shrew) broker marriages like business deals, without ever consulting their daughters.…

    The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was written by Howard Pyle. In chapters five to eight we see how the sheriff is trying to catch Robin, and we see how smart and clever Robin’s comebacks are. We see that no matter how hard the sheriff tries to catch him, he is no match for Robin. We see how Robin makes friends with a butcher, tricks the sheriff into paying for a huge meal with the merry men and him, and Little John gets fat and homesick and wants to go back to Robin and the merry men.…

    Was Robin Hood real? Many people ask this question, and we still don't know. Some people are still trying to find if Robin Hood was just a story or an actual person. I believe that Robin Hood was not real (even though it would be cool), so thus, I will try to persuade you. Robin Hood was not real because, in the ballads, the dates conflicted with each other. There were a lot of outlaws that had similar names, like Robyn Hod, Robyn Hoode, Robehod, or Robert Hoode, which would not make sense, since there would only be one "real" Robin Hood.…

England's king, Richard the Lion-hearted had gone to Palestine to fight the Muslims and attempt to regain Jerusalem for the Christians.

    While Robin Hood and his Merry Men set out to award aid to the poor, I question what the recipients of their aid had done to earn the help. Ironically, it is the not the stealing aspect of Robin’s operation that appeals to my objection. The disagreement instead lies in the distribution of unjustly stolen goods and money to unworthy beneficiaries. I seek to erase the concept of Robin Hood from the entire world by stealing from those who need the help and returning the seized wealth back to its rightful owner – the party that earned…
