The Half-Blood Prince of Bel-Air In the burbs of Hockessin, not born, but raised Scootering is how Jarred spent most of his days Working at Walgreens and thinking he’s cool Jarred really bawls outside of the school Because Jarred tried to make comebacks that aren’t any good Because they speak politely in his sheltered neighborhood. Wearing skinny jeans that sit right on his waist Jarred proves that he really has no taste. But Mr. Lin’s taste buds can taste all the flavor, Thanks for the meal, victory is nice to savor.

  16. A Modern Day Tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

  17. Respond in 2-3 paragraphs (collected) • Explain the similarities between this clip and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Consider the situation, the ethical dilemma/temptations, and the resolution. Just like in SGGK, is this a fair test to give to someone, knowing that you are deceiving them to prove a point/teach a lesson? • What would you do in this situation? Why? When you do something dishonest, do you think of the consequences or feel guilty, or do you only consider these things if you get caught?
