Reading Notes- King Arthur: Tales of the Round Table, Part A

I have never read these stories before, but I have heard of King Arthur and his journeys. I think that it could be interesting to write the stories in the first person point of view. Stories in first person come with a more personal element as opposed to stories that are written without the inside thoughts of characters. King Arthur was a powerful king, but he obviously wasn't pleased all the time and it could be funny to write about what he is thinking during his journeys.
The first story is about the sword in the stone. Knights throughout the land came to attempt to extract the sword, but it wouldn't budge. They had to find the fit king, the only man who could withdraw the sword. I love the fact that Arthur was just a knight's foster son, and when looking for a sword, he stumbled upon the sword in the stone and took it out easily. It is so innocent because he is merely a boy when he is proclaimed king. I think that this part of the story would make a great storytelling assignment. The thoughts that were going through Arthur's head were probably so innocent and naive; and that could give a completely different view into this story. As a reader, I didn't know much about his journey except for what someone could see on the outside. I want to give my audience a look on the inside and how the characters actually think.


This is exactly how I picture the sword in the stone.
