A new perspective on the warrior figure in the Grail legend

It is the aim of this thesis to characterize the figure of the warrior as it is portrayed throughout certain important literary works. The characterization includes the set pattern of actions which the warrior follows, the framework in which the pattern appears, and the relationship between the warrior and the figure of the guide which usually accompanies his appearance. The figure of the warrior is examined in a diverse variety of works to point out the universality and timelessness of its appearance. The warrior figure is examined first in two Middle English works: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Thomas Malory's "Sancgreal" in the Arthurian Tales. Two modern appearances of the warrior figure, which today has assumed a certain attitude of reluctance, are then examined: Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Castaneda's series on don Juan. The relationship of the warrior and his guide is examined in three classical works: Homer's the Iliad and the Odyssey and the Bhagavad Gita. It is then examined in a modern setting in James Joyce's Ulysses. The "Conclusion" attempts to state the value of the literary appearance of the warrior figure in terms of human experience, that is, that the figure is a portrayal of man's attempt to achieve a more integrated life by unifying the spiritual and physical aspects of life

Exploring the Relationship Between Place Attachment and Attitudes Toward Tourism Development in Powell County

This study explores the relationship between Powell County, Kentucky residents’ place attachment, and the perceived sociocultural, environmental, and financial benefits of the future Warrior’s Path development. A survey consisting primarily of five-point Likert scale questions was shared with several local organizations to distribute to their members. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Chi-square test of independence tests were used to discover any correlation between place attachment and perceived sociocultural, environmental, and financial benefits of tourism development. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r=.465) determined a moderate positive correlation between place attachment and perceived sociocultural benefits of the Warrior’s Path and tourism development. Of the three Chi-square tests of independence, one test was able to reject the null, allowing us to conclude a relationship between residents’ place attachment and perceived sociocultural benefits of tourism development. Knowing that there is strong evidence to suggest a positive relationship between place attachment and perceived sociocultural benefits of tourism development, tourism developers will be able to predict better how residents will respond to proposed development projects, such as the Warrior’s Path that will be running latitudinally through eastern Kentucky
