The City

What additional insight into culture do you gain from reading this section? 

Next insight on the culture is shown through how the certain people of town work on a daily basics. For example the stick soldiers (pg.29), to see them work is to was understood why they so often rested because in a hard city there is no harder job. They were typically " were short, stocky men, their bodies shaped by the hilly city....from the nature of their work". You really began to understand and see how the poor people had to work so much harder than others, just to make a decent living and to support their families.

Next, is the culture of the college and what issues and responsibility that the students where faced with. Such as college fines (pg.34) it says  "the room was their responsibility... had washed the blackboards between classes, twice a week had clean the floors and windows". In addition students would get fined for things such as "missing morning exercise, for skipping classes, for failing examinations, for returning late to their dormitories at night". You see that the students really had a lot weight on the shoulder to do well in school plus help maintain it as well or if not they where going to punished financial, knowing that they couldn't afford any additional expenses.

Another culture clash is when he brought up the topic on what did think about the character "Robin Hood" (pg. 37). Really was able to tell what the certain group of students felt about the character as some some him as Good and other preserved him as Bad. Also how the character ended at the most of the stories was that he would have been caught and sent to prison or exiled.  I assume that they made their discussions or are concluded completely from the college's rules (pg.36) that are set in place.  Show culturally how the government and the college wants it people to learn and how that want them to think about things in life.
