The Adventure of Sir Galahad
Sir Galahad finds knights in the Abbey that tell him of a shield that when a man hangs it around his neck, they die in the next few days or something happens to him. The monk tells them that only the worthiest knight in the world can hang the shield around their neck. I dont think this story would work very well for a diary post.
The Adventure of Sir Percivale
Percivale goes on an adventure in order to help another knight.
Sir Lancelot and the Five Hundred Knights
I really liked this story but Lancelot's feelings about what is happening isn't well described in this story. I think it would be hard to add enough personal feeling into the diary to make it feel authentic to use this story.
Sir Gawain and the Hermit
Kind of hard to follow, I had to reread parts several times to understand what was going on and where the story was headed. I really like the illustration at the top of the page though.

The Adventure of Sir Bors
I have noticed that these knights are very quick to trust others and do as they ask with no proof that their claims are true.
Sir Galahad and the Mysterious Ship
I like that this story is about more than just one of the knights. The ending of this story was sort of sad. This could be a good reflective diary post, written after the adventure is over and Pervicle's sister has died.
Sir Lancelot meets Sir Galahad
Again, the knights are following strange voices and people without another thought. It was such a different culture when these stories were written. It is interesting that the story implies that Sir Galahad is King Arthur's son, I hadn't picked up on that yet.
The End of Arthur
I liked the ending but I thought that it could have been written better, although I cannot use it for my story because all of the characters die and no one would be left to write the diary!
