Section+3+(Chapters+XXII-XXIX)


 * Synopsis **

Hank receives word of a Holy Fountain that has become dry. The monks that own the well sent a message to Camelot for Hank whose not home so Merlin comes instead. Hank arrives at the well to find it is a simple fissure problem. Merlin uses all his magic abilities to try and fix the well but he is unsuccessful and proclaims the well is possessed by an evil spirit. Hank steps in and says there is a slight chance of saving the well but it will be hard. Two of Hank’s experts arrive to patch the fissure and set up fireworks for a show. Hank uses the fireworks to show that the demon is leaving the well and that the water is returning. He teaches the monks how to pump for water and soon the monks want to start bathing but fear they might offend God again. Hank assures them that God won’t be offended. Clarence informs Hank that King Arthur is on his way to the Holy Fountain with some candidates for the army. Hank orders the superintendent of the West Point military academy to come to the fountain. He returns to the fountain to find all the monks watching a magician perform. Hank challenges the magician. But the magician is no match for Hank. King Arthur rides in with nobles who are candidates. Examinations begin and the West Point candidates dazzle King Arthur but the nobles are chosen because they are of higher status. Hank convinces the king to have two regiments. One regiment is full of nobles who can do whatever they want. The other regiment is full of commoners who are chosen for their qualifications and have to actually fight in wars. Hank later comes across a copy of the newspaper that Clarence is writing so he buys one and is impressed by Clarence’s progress. Hank finally puts his plan to travel as a peasant into motion with the help of the king who joins him. King has a hard time adjusting to his new life and causes a lot of problems with passing knights. Hank intervenes saving the king from certain death. He begins to drill the king on peasant life and how he should enter a home. They come to a hut of a peasant and that’s where the section ends.


 * Archetypes **

//Situational // **The Journey**: King Arthur is the one that is taking this journey when he goes incognito with Hank and is realizing just how poor the people of the kingdom are and their struggles.

//Character //  He became a foil when he claimed to see all and was dazzling everyone taking their eyes off of Hank so he is working opposite to Hank making him a foil
 * The Magician – A Foil **

 Arthur can be seen as an initiate because he is being taught by Hank in the ways of the peasant, like how to walk and talk and address people. This will help him while he takes his journey as a “peasant” to see how lives in the lower levels of society are.
 * King Arthur – Initiate **

//Symbolic //  Hank uses fireworks when he fixes the well in order to show off and show how great his power is and that they can trust in him which shows regeneration and it shows the people that didn’t believe in him that they can believe.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">This is shown when the water returns and so does the life with the monks. When they bathe they come out new and clean because they couldn’t bathe symbolizing their new life. And all this got them publicity so more people are heading to the Holy Fountain. <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Hank uses different colored fires, for show, when he is going to fix the fountain and this is symbolic in how he chose the colors to be green, red, blue, and purple (violet). Purple is a symbol for water which is what he wanted to come out of the fountain and he also lit that fire last so that it would foreshadow that it was going to work which it did.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Themes **

//<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Reputation vs. Reason // <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">A major overlying theme for this section is the opposing sides of reputation and reason when it comes to believing others. The magician from Asia reveals to the audience that he can predict the future, which infuriates Hank and his concrete understanding of the world. Eventually, Hank is able to disprove the magician, but is frustrated that the people of Camelot are so willing to accept the magician without any proof. He begins to realize the true extent of the people's lack of thinking ability and eagerness to believe any "authority" figures, real or conjured. This section reveals Hank's increasing belief that reputation doesn't make a man, but strong actions/assertions and ability to back those actions o assertions do (much like 19th century American society).


 * <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Real World Application **

<span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The third section of the passage is about Hank and King Arthur who begin their plan to travel around Europe incognito while seeing how the lower class people are treated. This is connected to the show undercover boss because the people named Hank the Boss and during this section he is undercover seeing how everyone is treated which is a lot like the show. In the show the CEO or boss of a company goes undercover to see how the workers work and to see their working conditions. Later he/she reveals themself as the CEO to the workers and their managers. They then try to help both sides improve in their output and therefor improve the whole company. While Hank travels he not only wants to see how the people are treated but he also wants to try to help improve their conditions.


 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Group Discussion **

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">We discussed everyone’s jobs and how they should be completed. We decided the theme for this section was reputation vs. reason. We decide on how the theme should be explained and Eric took notes over it because he was the theme developer. Emrys had the entire vocab job done for this section so we went over his sentences and definitions. Archetypes were hard to come up with for this section but we decided that the trip taken by the king and Hank can be called a journey and the fake magician was a foil to Hank. We also decided that the fireworks that Hank used were symbolical because they showed regeneration. Apuleyo’s job was real world connection so we decided on Pop Cultural and used a TV show to connect to Hank’s journey as a peasant. After all the jobs were discussed, we summarized the section and answered any questions like what a dirk was and why the king had to throw it away. This section had a lot of twist in it so we couldn’t make any predictions just yet.
