Can anyone explain the monetary agreement they come to on line 807-8?

sorry for the late response, but ive been sick so yea... i was able to get out of bed for alittle bit today to look at the bundles of work imgoing to have to catch up on,

anyway i read this like a week ago but as i interpreted it, lines 807-8 are about the host saying that when they go along their pilgramage if someone disagrees with the host's decision they have to pay for the entire pilgrimage.

so i'm trying to memorize the 18 lines, and reading from the website, should the last word be "weak" instead of "weal"? weak rhymes, so is that a typo? if anyone knows that'd be helpful.. thanks

Meg I was wondering about that too, but seeing as how we are reading a pretty old text, I figure I am just gonna write what I see.

So I'm not really sure if I should start a new blog about this or not, but I've found a couple coat of arms recently. On the back of Dan Mullins car, there is one of those MHS Boys Soccer decals and it has a pretty intricate shield on it. It's quarterly with strips and some charges, one of which is a soccer ball. Again with soccer, I was watching the Spanish channel with some of the mexicans I work with and they showed the standings for a lot of regional european teams and almost all of their symbols were shields. I thought it was pretty neat.

I saw an add for a company called Chevron on a billboard... they didn't have a coat of arms but guess what their symbol was?

Yes that's right it was a chevron... like the ones on the shields. What a small world in which we live.

This Host guy sure is working his charm over these men. I have a feeling that we're going to have to listen to a lot of stories.

Does any one understand the beginning 18 lines cause i know we had to memorize them but they made no sense and were hard to understand. Dylan Ketchel

Does anyone undertand the whole pilgrimage thing did people back then just get together and go on trips to places? Dylan Ketchel

L Lazarow said...

Ryan for your question on lines 807-808 the agreement is that if anyone on the trip disagress with the host and how he judges the stories then they have to pay for everyones expenses on the trip. Dylan Ketchel
