Sir Thomas Malory

Sir Thomas Malory is an English writer during the medieval period . This I knew because our present topic in English III is the medieval period . Our class was divided into ten different groups . We were to research about the following topics :
* feudalism
* the concept of chivalry
* kinds of drama popular during the middle ages
- morality play
- mystery play
* Sir Thomas Malory
* Romance
* Popular literature works during this period
We were 38 in a class , so 38/10 , that makes it 3.8 right .? So most probably , we have 2 groups with 3 members and 8 groups with 4 . ( Lalalalalove it . Math .!) In our group , we are only three . All girls . Okay . We were to report what we have researched . F*ck*ng sh*t .! What .?! But as I was accustomed to in groupworks , I was always the one tasked to write the visual aid . I reported at times . But just due to extreme situations where in the reporting was individual . Ha ha .! So , me and my group mates were researching using different volumes of the encyclopedias our library has so that we could research many things at once . Then our teacher suddenly announced that there would be two reporters for each group . Exactly .! My other groupmates would be the one to report . Since we had so many groups , groups 1 to 5 would report on the next day and groups 6-10 would report two days from now . Cool .! I have enough time to slack off and make the visual aid tomorrow .! Ha ha .! Today , groups 1-3 had reported . We had no more time for gropus 4 to 5 to report also . As I was listening to the groups who reported , I was shocked to hear that Sir Thomas Malory in his past was a criminal . He was a known robber of big amounts of money , an attempted murderer and a rapist . For years he have been doing the same thing over and over again until the time of Edward ... (I forgot .! Ha ha .!) who sued him for his uncountable crimes . He was imprisoned . While he was in prison , he had idle time and he wrote the book " Le Morte D' Arthur " it was translated into already , I think , 29 languages .? And if that doesn't mean that it's a good book , f*ck you and have a nice day .! Ha ha .! It just proves that no matter how many wrongs we've done in the past , if we really motivate ourselves to change , we will . Sooner or later . And we shouldn't also judge someone by how many wrong things they have done . The only one who really knows them is , well , themselves . We don't have a right to judge them because we are not them . Perspective is not in the question .
