In “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” on the third day that Sir Gawain is at the Lord Bertilak’s castle, Lady Bertilak gives him a silk girdle. Lady Bertilak urges him to keep it with him as it has the ability to protect an honest person from death. Being terrified of his meeting with the Green Knight, Sue Gawain gladly takes it. However, Sir Gawain had promised to give Lord Bertilak anything he was given back to him before he left. This means that Sir Gawain, in not giving the girdle back, is no longer an honest man. In addition to this the girdle is green, this is foreshadowing the fact that the girdle belongs to the Green Knight. The Green Knight, who had not died when Sir Gawain decapitated him in their first encounter, likely did so because he was wearing the girdle. This shows that the Green Knight is an honest man, contrasting him with Sir Gawain who fails to be honest in taking the girdle.

Which excerpt from Rudyard Kipling's "The White Man's Burden" conveys the perspective that colonized people never show appreciat
mars1129 [50]

Answer: D. Take up the White Man's burden— And reap his old reward: The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard—

"The White Man's Burden" is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling. The "burden" refers to the responsibilities Kipling believed colonizers had towards colonized people. From his point of view, the societies that were colonized benefitted greatly from becoming colonies. England provided them with education, technology, health care, a new political system, etc. All things that Kipling believed every society needed and benefitted from.

In this line, Kipling argues that part of the burden is not being appreciated for your contribution. He says that those that you "better" (improve) or "guard" (protect) end up blaming you and hating you. He means that locals end up resenting and hating the colonizers, despite their contributions. He considers this part of the "white man's burden."
