The term "cryptozoology" refers to the search for mythical or hidden animals. Cryptozoologists, both amateurs and professionals,

most often search for animals whose existence is denied by mainstream biologists. Additionally, their searches primarily focus on large animals, such as dinosaurs or the creature known as Bigfoot. The Loch Ness monster is one of the most well-known cryptids, and cryptozoologists have been seeking proof of Nessie's existence for years.
Anthonie Cornelis Oudemans' book The Great Sea Serpent, written in 1892, is considered the first scholarly work published on the subject of cryptozoology. However, the practice has been around almost as long as humans have walked the Earth. Due to the availability of technology such as GPS and satellite imaging, cryptozoology seems poised to become a popular new science.

LMDA: What does Sir Gawain’s last request before his death show the reader about his character? *
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

A) He has grown emotionally as a person

Explanation:

However, by taking the silk belt and keeping it secret, Gawain proves himself to be less than perfect. When finally confronted with his failing, Gawain accepts responsibility for his actions and shows remorse, indicating that he grown spiritually and morally. Many readers feel that Gawain is too hard on himself in wearing the belt as a reminder of his guilt, and that the standard of perfection he wants to uphold is simply unattainable. Despite having failed in one crucial area, Gawain remains an appealing figure, embodying everything that is most attractive about the chivalric ideal.

Gawain's overriding quality throughout the poem is what the Gawain-poet calls "trawthe," or truth. Truth in this sense includes many things: honesty, faith, loyalty, uprightness, purity. Gawain condemns himself for untruth at the end of the poem, but Gawain's imperfections make him a more interesting character than the perfect model of virtue he first appears to be. He is brave, yet he fears death. He is chaste, yet he is attracted to his beautiful hostess. He is courteous toward women, yet he repeats a standard piece of misogynistic rhetoric. He is loyal and honorable, yet he deceives his host and tries to gain an advantage in his match with the Green Knight.

Besides his interesting imperfections, he displays a surprising range of emotions. His anger and defensiveness when he realizes his fault, his fearful imaginings as he approaches the Green Chapel, and his obvious attraction to his hostess hint that his character has an inner life, not merely a stock role to play.
