Sir Launcelot Compare Contrast

The first story that we read was one that I could not take seriously. When I was reading "Sir Launcelot" I kept thinking about Monty Python and the holy grail. All the funny events that happened in the story were ironic, and overly dramatic. Poking a guy in the shoulder, carrying him off the horse, and throwing him in jail? Who thinks of that? The other tale that we read was a little more serious. It was more of a story of betrayal and something friends need to understand.  People were more serious, and the themes were more grown up. I enjoyed reading the story more, as it related to more modern stories I have read. Arthur pulling the sword out of the stone marked that he was the next ruler. Merlin was the wizard that brought the Queen together with the King, and the new son was destined to be the heir to the throne. there were all these occurrances that made the story fun to read. More so than Sir Launcelot. Overall, I liked reading the two stories, however I never felt that they would be something I could keep reading. The one I liked more was the second one we read. King Arthur.
