Letter from the Third Crusade - Fantasy versus Reality
You are a soldier fighting in the third crusade, writing a letter to send back home about what you are experiencing, as you answer this question:
How is the reality of the crusade different than the fantasy?
As you started out, you believed in the fantasy and were ready to fight this holy war in the name of King Richard III, without any hesitation. But now it is 3 years later and the reality of war is different than what you first expected. You are to find evidence in the novel on both sides, showing what you first expected this crusade to be (the fantasy) and what it actually is (the reality).
