Essay 2-02a: Robin Hood

Probably many people recognize Robin Hood as a famous person, but the origin of it is from an animal, a fox that work with, a bear, Little John. Little John is good at stealing many things from the rich. After that he gives them to the poor. Because of his actions, he is regarded as a hero by the poor, while he is regarded as annoying bear by the rich.There is a reason why they are good at stealing money. It is because they are also good at disguising.

One day,  he steals something worthy from a king who loves money very much. The king rules a place in which people are forced to pay much money and it makes them difficult to live. While they are struggling to live in the severe environment, Little John and Robin Hood appear to help them. Robin Hood pretend to be a augur, who stares at someone’s hands and say their future. While he pretends, he steals much money and distribute money around the town. Little John also works as a guardman of Robin Hood. As a result, it makes people happy and the king annoyed.

There was a very cute girl in a castle. Her name was Marian which was also fox. She and Robin Hood loved each other  for a long time. They couldn’t see for a long period. That’s why she felt that he didn’t love her or forget her existence, but it was not true and he loved her. Marian had a close friend, Crack which supported their lovely relationship.

One day, Robin Hood heard about a rumor that a shooting competition had been going to be held. As a result, he could attend it and win. This competition was held to attract him by King who hated Robin.The king knew that Robin would win the competition before it was held and he tried to catch Robin after the competition,but He could escape from the king because of support of many people who lived in the country and loved Robin.

Robin’s action reminded me of a phrase said by Mother Teresa. She said: ‘if you want to be loved, you have to love. This phrase is applicable to his action. Actually, he didn’t hope that he was loved,but he was nice and as a result he was loved and he made many people happy. When he was in danger, he was helped by many people who loved or were grateful for Robin’s action. Robin did something morally right but he did something illegally wrong. That’s why I can decide whether what  he did is cool or not. 

Totally, I like this movie. I could learn about something I didn’t know and remind me of what justice is. Recently, I am studying the UN. The UN stands for the united nations which is one of the biggest organization to keep the world piece. I think the UN seems similar to Robin’s action because the organization tries to help many people improve their lifestyle and other many things,but there is a totally different point between the UN and Robin’s action which is that he did something for many people with courage and he didn’t expect any return from them,while the UN try to help people and developed countries develop more and earn more money. I sometimes forget what is right and wrong morally. I think I should do something morally right even it is thought to be bad from the vision of many people. I recommend that many people should watch this movie. Especially I want  this movie be watched by teenagers like me. Teenagers have lived more than ten years and they have some opinions about what justice is. This movie gives them an opportunity to consider it gain.
