Why Is Robin Hood Bad
Throughout Robin Hood so far I have seen that he is a very smart person. He thinks of

the smartest ways of doing things without getting caught. Even though it might not be always the

right way to do things. He always knows a way to get out of things, like he finds ways to make

himself as the good person instead of the bad one or he gets someone else to do the work instead

of him in situations that he knows he could possibly get caught in. Another thing I see is that he

and all of his merry men all care about each other. Like they would volunteer to do anything for

each other, they would die for one another, and that is the good I see in Robin Hood.

In these chapters there is a lot of stuff that goes down. Robin Hood and his merry men

stay in the forest. They are

They take some of the sheriffs silver to Robin but

when he gets there Robin doesn’t want it because that would mean that he would be starting a

fight with the sheriff and he doesn’t start fights.

In chapter 8 Robin Hood decides that he needs more Lincoln green cloth for his uniforms.

So he sends Little John to go get some. He needed 23 scores of cloth. Little John went on and he

came to roads and he decided to go down the wrong one, instead of the right one, to go to the

Blue Boar and he spends a night there. The next morning he goes down the right path. On the

way he sees a tanner that is following a deer so h r follows him. He accidentally gives himself

away and is seen by the tanner. They fight with each other, while Robin Hood watches from afar.

The tanner beats Little John and Robin Hood goes to speak with him and asks if he wants to join

him and he agrees. Robin Hood is disappointed with Little John But decides to give him another

chance. Even though Robin Hood is seen as a person that steals and always does wrong and

always gets in trouble, I think that he really has a heart but I also feel like he is about to

    Robin Hood, one of history’s most popular fictional characters, continues to entertain and inspire people of all ages. Hood’s hawk-eyed archery and fierce swordplay make him popular with kids, and his social conscience endears him to old. With tales as early as the twelve hundreds, Robin Hood’s adventures have undoubtedly left their mark on history. Hood’s highly noted reputation of “robbing the rich to give to the poor” is remembered as fondly as his outlandish, green attire. Although a timeless tale with countless heroic deeds not all favor Robin Hood’s actions. Some view him as a roguish miscreant, a person rebelling against the law for his own selfish gains. Therefore, one question remains, does Robin Hood’s legacy portray him as an outlaw or hero?…

    “Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest, laughing back and forth at the what the other'ne has to say... Oo-De-Lally, Oo-de-lally Golly, what a day.” When many Americans hear the name “Robin Hood,” these lyrics from the Disney animated movie come to mind. Howard Pyle, who wrote The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which was published in 1883, did not write those words, but he did write an entertaining, adventurous book for not only children, but also for teens and adults. Robin Hood is a hero to the poor, but an annoyance to the rich. The book begins with Robin Hood and his gang, called the Merry Men, in Sherwood Forrest, where they live. Robin is an outlaw and an enemy of the Sheriff of Nottingham because he has killed the king's…

    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.…

    Robin’s mission is to successfully revolt against the Sheriff and his administration. This mission created the following issues: Robin Hood’s band size exceeds the food capacity of the forest, the Sheriff and his administration are rivals of Robin Hood, and King Richard needs to be restored to the throne. In order to rid of these problems, it is necessary that Robin Hood successfully takes over the Sheriff and his administration and to restore King Richard to the throne while maintaining popularity amongst his band and restoring his future amnesty. In order to do this, we will need to collect money from the barons through negotiation by guaranteeing them their future amnesty. This money, if properly allocated, will restore King Richard to his throne, increase the food supply of the forest and leave Robin and his Merrymen with a promised, likeable future. By choosing this action, he is able to…
