So we have a big big project coming up! I think it is due in the December but I don't exactly know when. My group is Daniel Keum and Esther Choi. For our character profile project, we chose Beatrice from Dante's Inferno as our character. She is the one that Dante fell into 'courtly love', and she was the perfect idealization of woman and human for Dante. Even though she died in young age, she was remembered by Dante as a perfect woman. As a result, Beatrice was depicted as a angel in the heaven in Dante's Inferno. She led Dante, who was stuck in the sin of forest, to the 9 levels of hell in order to lead him to the right path, toward god.
So I really want to know who is in your group, what characters did you choose and basic information about your character!

My group members are Leena, Misato, and Amelia. I feel so comfortable to work on our project with these guys haha Then, we chose King Arthur as our character! The reason why is because he is very famous knight king and I want to know about him more. Also, my favorite anime was about King Arthur. According to my researches, one sword was stuck in a rock, but no one picked this out. Person who picked this out could be a king of Britain. When Arthur was little, he just picked this out easily.

In my group,we have Woori,Leena,and Misato.I am glad to work on our presentation with them.In the first,some people said choose Marguerite because she is very important in Scarlet pimpernel.After discussing a long time,we determined to do King Arthur.We just learned him from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,we think it is not enough and we think King Arthur is a big character so he is important.

My group chose king Arthur because he has a lot of information and historical back ground. The real King Arthur and King Arthur from "Sir Gawain and green knight" is different.

My group is San Ha, Ji Min, and Anyu. For the character we chose Marguerite from Scarlet Pimpernel. She is the wife of Sir Percy (or Scarlet Pimpernel) and has a brother named Armand. In the first part of the story, Chauvelin forced her to work for him and asked her to find Scarlet Pimpernel. She refuses because she does not like violence in France after the revolution (execution of French aristocrats). When she realized that her husband was Scarlet Pimpernel and Chauvelin finally realized who Scarlet Pimpernel was, she asked help for Sir Andrew and went to France to save her husband.
I WILL NOT TALK ABOUT THE ENDING.

My group chooses the dragon in Beowulf because we think this character doesn't actually stick to a specific background or contains lots of historical information. Thus, we can create and compose our own stories about it. However, we still have to stick some aspects of own story to the time culture that Ms.Boyd required.

My group chose Sir Gawain because we think it contains a lot of background information and many more that we can add, lot of info could be added about a medieval knight of the round table. We can create a story that touches upon the actual story and we can add information that we can look up on google about the knights of king Arthur. As the story doesn't provide very precise details, we can look up on how their daily lives were like, etc. Also tons of art pieces can be created basing on medieval knight

My group is Brandon and Danielle. We chose to do a project on Dante because it was the story that was most interesting to us. We thought that all of my classmates wanted to do the same character as us so we raised our hand quick and chose Dante. Since this project is very important for this quarter grade and we don't have to take the test if we do well, we're going to try our best to make a good presentation.

My group members are Elisa and Brandon and we are doing this project on Dante. Dante is obviously the main character in Dante's Inferno and he is the one who visits all 9 levels of hell.

Our group includes Chris, Edward, and Sergey. We chose our character as Sir Gawain from The Sir Gawain and The Green Knight. We thought this character will be easier for us to gather up the information we need and make symbolic art pieces. Also, it'd be more interesting to see details about him and King Arthur since their relationship wasn't portrayed in words that much.

My group chose to do the dragon from Beowulf because he didn't have a lot of backstory revealed, which meant we could get creative with his backstory, and we have a really cool artistic project planned for the dragon, if it works out the way we want it to. I personally wanted to make our project about Marguerite since she is my favorite character out of all the stories we've done this year.

In my group there are Crystal, Bilal, and Irene. We chose Beowulf as our character and I believe Beowulf would be easy to do for this project because there are many cultural and religious stuff on the story.

We chose Margueirte for the project because Marguerite is one of the main character for the Scarlet Pimpernel and she has a lot of things to write about. For Marguerite, there were internal conflicts and external conflicts in the books. Also there were a lot of emotions that were shown in the book. Most of the incidents were related to Marguerite so I think Marguerite is good character to do for the project.

My group includes the following members- Jasmin, Woojung, Agnes, and me- and we decided to research about Percy from Scarlet Pimpernel. We chose this character mainly because we wanted to know more about him, and we believed there is much aspect behind him that the readers may not know merely from reading the literature. We will connect such aspects with the social context of Europe during that time.
