The power of ceremony is demonstrated in Henry's St. Crispin's day speech. The King rouses the hearts of his men by calling them his " band of brothers." Ceremony is giving more emotion than just simply talking to them. I don't really think that they would have listened to him or taken him so seriously if he would have just given them a pep talk.
| I think the main difference between commoners and the King is the the peasant can look over the land and enjoy the peace of it without "worrying his dull head", the King has to go to sleep at night thinking about the toils of the world. |
Good job Elsie, I had a different idea about the difference between a commoner and a king. I thought it was that a king gives orders and the commoners follow.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job! Really liked what you put Henry and his army in the first paragraph.
