...Holy Grail of Adulthood Introduction The United States, one of the most advanced nations around, is one of four countries that have kept their Minimum Drinking Age at 21. Due to the National Minimum Drinking Age (NMDA) being age 21, the United States has been removed from the category with the Advanced Western Nations and was lumped in with small countries like Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, etc. In order to find out why the United States is willing to be clumped with small, developing places like those above, many people have done research and conducted tests on various drinking related activities of both the past and the present. The research on the ongoing debate has found that while many people were for lowering the NMDA, there were just as many that were against lowering it. Back Ground Info During the Year 2009, various instances of vehicular deaths or accidents involving alcohol were documented. The statistics showed that the age group of 21- 24 held the highest percentage of fatal vehicular accidents with BAC levels being .08 or higher. This shows that regardless of the NMDA, newly fledged drinkers are the cause of most accidents. Courtney Carlson, an editor of The Californian says, “All European and many South and Central American countries have a legal drinking age of 18 or younger” (Carlson). Canada has a drinking age of 19; Germany has a drinking age of 16 for beer. These countries along with many others have a have NMDA of 18 or 19. Researchers were curious as...

...Holy Grail The Holy Grail is a very perplexing subject (O’neal). It has a mysterious hold on imagination and appears in different places and changes form. It is often described as a platter, cauldron, stone, dish, chalice, and horn of plenty. When depicted as a cup, it is described as gold, studded with jewels (O’neal) “The Grail is perpetually treated as something strange, mysterious, awe-inspiring; not to be lightly spoken of” (King Arthur). This relic is a symbol or metaphor that came from medieval story tellers (Borg). The word “Grail” is derived from the Latin word “gradalis”, signifying a step-by-step descent (O’neal). It is thought of as source of healing, inspiration, and vision. Some say that Joseph of Arimethea knew the secrets...

...The Holy Grail was the most sawed after Christian item of the Arthurian times. People from all walks of life dreamed of sipping from the same cup as Jesus at the last supper. The religious aspects of the Holy Grail and the stories behind it will surprise most people. The two things that are most interesting about the Holy Grail are; the religious background and the effect it had on its time. In 5th century Europe King Arthur sent out four knights on a treacherous quest to seek out and bring back the most sawed after Religious item of the time. The Holy Grail. First off the Holy Grail has an extensive religious background. Like I said earlier, the Holy Grail was the cup that Jesus last drank out of. Later while Christ was on the cross Joseph...

...Extreme Violence of the Knights In the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a group of knights, under King Arthur’s leadership, go on a quest, given to them by God, to find the Holy Grail. After a little debate, they split up, but eventually find each other again, where they approach the Bridge of Death, and after crossing, find the Grail. This movie is a significant, modern example of satire, which burlesques the knights and customs of the Middle Ages. Satire attempts to bring change in the world, without actually providing a solution. The film Monty Python and the Holy Grail uses exaggeration and unexpected logic to expose the amount of gratuitous violence that the knights employ in the Middle Ages. The scene with the brawl between...

...Our Sexual Holy Grail T he Acts of Peter and the letter to Theodore by Clement of Alexandria, plainly demonstrates an ongoing battle of evil within early Christian development and its teachings. Moreover, Peter’s focus on the devil’s sexual involvement with humanity and how lust influences and damages people’s sexual awareness from the beginning of time, coincides completely with Jesus’ hostility against Satan. Although, outwardly the church condemned Peter’s teaching of ‘celibacy for everyone;’ nevertheless, the sanctified reality of celibacy for a quantity of Jesus’ followers (also known as the elect), generates a solid state of dedication and loyalty regarding this believed teaching of Christ by the church that became unstoppable. The...

...Similarly, Sir Percivale is a loyal knight as well. Sir Percivale became important when he found the Holy Grail for King Arthur in his time of need. Sadly, Sir Percivale’s legendary character was not expanded on much. His mother, who was not a big fan of knights, raised him up and failed to inform him about knights. Both her husband and her other son passed away from being knights. Obviously, she did not want to lose the last man in her life. One day, Sir Percivale was roaming through the woods and met some knights. He said they looked like angels and seemed like nice men; however, his mother thought the opposite, but that did not stop Sir Percivale from becoming a knight (Currin, 2001-2009). Moving on, King Arthur...

...Brooks Brown Mrs. Allen English IV 11 March 2015 The Holy Grail The Holy Grail is a very symbolic holy relic that is recognized as the cup Jesus Christ drank out of at the Last Supper. The Grail has many different legends, myths, and controversies to discover and is one of the most debated historical artifacts in history. The Holy Grail is thought to be a fine chalice or cup used as a drinking device. It has also been thought to be a stone, dish, cup, platter, cauldron, or horn of plenty (Day 122). The Holy Grail stands for a sacred relic that Jesus Christ drank out of; because of this many consider it the greatest item in all of Christianity. People seeking this great treasure; past and present have died looking for it. The actual object that is believed to be the Holy Grail is approximately seven inches in height. In addition to that it has 28 pearls around the cup, and is decorated with two balaxes and two emeralds. The texture of the cup is made out of stone and gold (“Holy Grail”). There are several myths in all cultures that involve when a person comes in contact with the precious item. Some myths state that if someone drinks from the cup they will inherit the ability to raise someone from the dead. Magical qualities of the cup are never proven but do have a lot of interesting things about them. One such example includes if someone is stranded somewhere and have no way of providing food for themselves, the Grail will serve as a nourishing chalice that never runs out...

...tsun-tsun and aggressive. Because of her appearance, her past, and the fact that she has little skill as a magus, or perhaps because she has a complex about being a magus, she always acts frightened around other people. Haughty at home but meek outside. At home she acts self-assured. (When like this she is similar to Rin from Fate/stay night, but she isn’t brimming with confidence like Rin. Rather, she acts more like a child) Because her older sister who departed the world 8 years ago was a genius, she has a complex about her ordinariness. Although her father, who also died 8 years ago, told her “There will be a day when you, too, participate in the Holy Grail War”, she was absolutely unwilling, and ran. When she was about to be killed by Lancer, she summoned Saber. Because he saved her, she had no choice but to participate in the Holy Grail War. During the War, her personality changed a little bit. (That is, she broke free from her trauma) Saber 【Status】 Addresses self as: “Boku” (towards Ayaka)/“Watashi” (towards enemies) Servant rank: Rank 1 Strength: B Endurance: A Agility: B Magic: E Luck: C Noble Phantasm: C(EX) 【Comment from Takeuchi Takashi】 Handsome and calm, the 90s ideal image of a legendary hero.

...and Archetypal elements are expressed in many ways in The Natural. The characters of Roy Hobbs and Pop Fisher are both based on the mythology of Sir Perceval and the Holy Grail. Filmmakers of The Natural also demonstrated mythological and archetypal elements with most of the shots in the film. The character of Roy Hobbs can be seen as Sir Perceval, one of the Knights of the Round Table. The most obvious example of this is that Sir Perceval was a knight of the Round Table and Roy Hobbs plays for the New York Knights. In the legend of Sir Perceval, he goes on a quest in search of the Holy Grail. Roy Hobbs is on a journey to succeed as a baseball player and the Holy Grail being the pennant. Another example of a mythological element in the film is Roy’s bat, wonder boy, as it represents King Arthurs’s Excalibur. Roy Hobbs’s character also loosely follows the story of The Odyssey. In that story, Odysseus goes on a quest, but is struck down by Calypso and it takes him twenty years to return home. In The Natural Roy goes on a quest to be the best there ever was. He meets a woman named Harriet and is shot by her, it takes him sixteen years to get back in the game. Another character in the film The Natural is Pop Fisher, and he can be related to the Fisher King. The Fisher King was a broken man who guarded the Holy Grail. The only one who could heal the Fisher King was Sir Perceval. In the film, Pop Fisher is the coach of the New York Knights who were a far below average baseball team...

...A single set of global accounting standards, rules to be followed by any public company as it reports annual operating results, has become the Holy Grail of Accounting. In today’s world, these rules are embodied in International Financial Reporting Standards. Unfortunately for many good but unwitting people, advocating the U.S. adoption of IFRS is a fool’s errand. To more fully understand the ramifications of this statement let’s turn to the dictionary for a basic frame of reference. Grail [greyl] –noun (from dictionary.com) Also called Holy Grail. a cup or chalice that in medieval legend was associated with unusual powers, esp. the regeneration of life and, later, Christian purity, and was much sought after by medieval knights: identified with the cup used at the Last Supper and given to Joseph of Arimathea. Informal. any greatly desired and sought-after objective; ultimate ideal or reward. Can we adapt the word’s definition to fit into the context of accounting? You beta.

...The Fisher King is a great example of the hero's journey because it was not only one, but two heroes journeys. This is quite significant since most journeys have only particular main character that is accompanied by a party of members that help them overcome obstacles and help the character change. Jack, one of the main characters, is forced to atone for his actions when he realizes that he ruined Parry’s life by his radio show convincing someone that he will always be alone and never find love in the world. Parry was apart of the collateral damage and lost his wife during the shooting. In the beginning in of their relationship Jack just thought that Parry was just completely insane and had felt he had to get him off of his back. Their relationship...

...Merlin I am Your Father As I was riding horseback chasing the young King Arthur because his training had began. Every time I got within roping distance I would give a big swing of my stick and ropes would fly out to grab Arthur. I know this training doesn’t seem ethical but its how all good kings should be trained. I know that Arthur will be the next king because I have the power to look far into the future and Arthur will be the greatest of all the kings to ever live. I was beginning to come up on Arthur’s back when he stops and shouts, “Holy Grail” as it hits him in the head a knocks him out. Minutes later he wakes up and I tell him what has happened. I told him, “Well obviously there was a grail that was Holy from the last supper and I reckon that I hit you up the head because you must be the chosen one least that’s what I have seen in my visions.” So as we were heading back to Camelot to show what Arthur has been given from the heavens above. When we were about 3 miles from the kingdom my evil father that died when I was younger rose from the dead. He was the man who taught me all my magical powers but wanted me to use them for bad but I chose differently. Arthur began to panic because he had no clue who this dark man is but I had to refrain him from panicking. My father began to mock me and Arthur. So I told Arthur to step back, my father and I are going to have an epic wizard battle. I let my father begin first; he turned his evil body into a small rat and came...

...The also observe many holy days and feasts, among these are Pentecost, the Feast of the Assumption, Easter, and Christmas. Not only are these days mentioned, but they play instrumental parts in the story. In Le Morte D'Arthur, Arthur pulls the sword from the stone on Christmas.(Fritscher) This can be likened to the birth of Jesus Christ, a King was born on Christmas, and Arthur was declared the rightful King of England by pulling the sword out of the stone on Christmas. Both came into their role as King on this feast. The themes of Christianity continue with the birth of Merlin. A woman is impregnated by a devil with the intent of creating an evil child- a perversion of Mary begetting Jesus through the Holy Spirit. However, the woman christens her child, Merlin and he grows to actually work against evil. “He uses the weird wisdom of Hell deliberately and systematically against the powers of evil, and his chief joy is in preparing the way for the fulfillment of the Mysteries of the...
