Lawrence_I gazes at the sky in confusion

Gabriel says, "i think the obvious 2 in the beginning is the call to adventure, and the crossing of the threshold for Sir Gawain"

Sierra asks, "he is called to find the green chapel.. right?"

Ankur says, "I don't know much i didn't read the text"

Lynn says, "I feel the same about the call to adventure"

Margaret_V says, "To me the most obvious were the call to adventure and the refusal of the call"

Veronica says, "what in the world is a holly bob "

Lawrence_I moves to Oxford University

Lynn says, "however I also saw alittle of supernatural aid"

Sierra says, "when does he refuse the call"

Gabriel says, "yes his called to find the green chapel and the green knight, but i think the refusal is with the other knights, not with Sir Gawain"

Veronica says, "he doesnt, he gives the blow"

Tiffany asks, "does he refuse the call when he refuses to feast?"

Margaret_V says, "yea, I guess I saw it more with the other nights too"

Gabriel says, "no, he accepts the call to adventure for his uncle king arthur"

Gabriel says, "there isn't a refusal for him though"

Lynn says, "yeah cause that makes him the herald"

Lawrence_I comes from Oxford University

Margaret_V says, "ok, well I was just trying to find something, guess I wrong"

Sierra says, "he doesnt refuse the call he just puts it off b/c the lord tells him he can get him there"

Lynn says, "the only way I can see refusal is from the other knights also."

Lawrence_I wonders if anyone is here?

Veronica says, "the call to destiny, the green knight tells the future for the next new year when the knight is going to take the hit, "

Lawrence_I asks, "I wonder if King Arthur is the one who refuses the call?"

Gabriel asks, "did the supernatural aid come when he prayed in the forest and came upon that castle?"

Lynn says, "but wouldn't there be supernatural aid to due to the fact when the green knights head is cut off, yet he can still tell Gawain that he will come back in a year and a day to do the same to him?"

Lawrence_I [to Gabriel]: Who did he pray to? Find the place in the text where you saw that prayer and share it. Good.

Gabriel says, "i don't say that aids "

Gabriel says, "Sir Gawain in any way, it just scared him"

Lawrence_I agrees with Gabriel

Lynn says, "oh ok, so the green knight wouldn't be a supernatural figure"

Veronica says, "wait i think i talk better in person, but king arthur is the one who is restless, he needs something to happen before he can eat, he is going to give the blow with the axe, but Gawain jumps in as duty to his king"

Lawrence_I says, "Is there a herald figure? (maybe you all already got to this)"

Gabriel says, "the green knight has to be supernatural to ride with his head cut off, but he does not help sir gawain at all"

Veronica says, "the green knight must be the herald because he is all out of proportion, i like the heads rolling and all the blood rushing all over the green fur"

Sierra says, "could it be the lord as the harald"

Lawrence_I says, "maybe he is enchanted..."

Gabriel says, "sierra cant spell"

Gabriel says, "haha"

Sierra says, "whatever"

Lawrence_I asks, "Who would you all say is the main character--the hero?"

Sierra says, "you messed up to"

Gabriel says, "Sir Gawain is the main character"

Margaret_V says, "I agree"

Sierra says, "me too"

Lynn says, "as do I"

Lawrence_I asks, "What's the call to adventure? Is there a herald?"

Gabriel says, "the green knight would have to be the herald, and he issues the challenge or the call to adventure. "

Sierra says, "the call to adventure is gawain looking for the green chapel "

Lawrence_I says, "Sounds good to me."

Gabriel says, "i agree"

Gabriel says, "......this time!"

Sierra says, "Me Too"

Lawrence_I says, "The appearance of the green man draws Gawaine into a world of forces he doesn't know about or control. The beheading game."

Sierra says, "could that be the bally of the whale.. b/c its the unknown (game)"

Gabriel says, "i don't know what bally is but i think it could be the belly of the whale"

Sierra says, "boooo your right i cant type... for today"

Sierra says, "leave me alone"

Lawrence_I says, "I'm going to let you all talk about other things you notice and bug the other group..."

Lawrence_I moves to Oxford University

Sierra says, "yeah"

Margaret_V says, "so who is the herald? I'm still not sure"

Sierra asks, "what was the supernatural aid?"

Gabriel says, "the supernatural aid is on pg. 2009 line 760 when he prays to Mary and comes upon the castle"

Sierra says, "thanks"

Gabriel says, "im all over it"

Sierra says, "nerd"

Gabriel says, "hater"

Sierra says, "okay so there wasnt a refusal of the call"

Margaret_V says, "no, I guess I was wrong"

Gabriel says, "i dont see it on gawains part, just on the other knights"

Sierra asks, "me too...so who is the herald?"

Lynn says, "so basically there waas just the call to adventure and supernatural aid"

Margaret_V says, "thats what I want to know"

Gabriel says, "it would have to be the green knight i guess"

Sierra says, "and the BELLY OF THE WHALE"

Gabriel says, "i think going into the wilderness in search of the green church could be crossing the threshold"

Gabriel says, "you used spell check on that one huh"

Sierra says, "no i just typed with one finger"
