Story of the grail part 1

2.  Chretien describes Perceval as someone who is very easily amazed.  Whenever he sees a knight he thinks they are the coolest people ever.  He always talks about how awesome knights are, and thinks that they are what he could only hope to be.  It seemed that the knights were also very nice people, they did not mind answering Percevals questions at all.

3.  When Perceval talked to his mom about the knights she was very shocked.  I think that she knew he would want to be a knight, but she also knew the dangers that knights face.  Even when his mother was telling him the story Perceval was not listening at all and it seemed to just go in one ear and out the other.

4.  It seemed that Perceval went about becoming a knight in a very wrong way.  He was being rude to King Arthur and such.  However he should have known that in order to be a knight he would have to be very kind and chivalrous.  He also seems to be very lucky he went up to random knights instigating a fight but somehow managed to luckily kill a red knight by hitting him in the eye.
