In so doing, he provides a unique view into people's flawed hearts, bringing their darkness to verse.

Mental illness is something that is more common than most people realize. The problem is that mental illness is still so stigmatized that people don't want to talk about it. I felt this way for the longest time myself and didn't talk to people about what I was feeling or what I was going through. I let things build up inside of me until I just lost control. I started making choices that would have negative impacts on me and my life.I have dealt with a vast array of struggles to include, but not limited to, abuse, addiction, my own suicide attempt, the loss of several people that were close to me to suicide, and trying to be a parent to children who are suffering with their own struggles. Several times I questioned as to why these things were happening, what was the purpose of these troubles, and if they were ever going to get better. It took a while for me to fully understand that all these troubles that I was experiencing weren't trying to break me down, even though that is what it felt like they were doing. Every struggle, every part of the pain, every loss that I was experiencing, was helping me become a stronger person. It was building me up to have a different outcome in life. Each experience taught me something. Each struggle made me stronger. Each loss helped me understand the importance of life.My story is something that I kept to myself for the longest time. I didn't want to share it with anyone for fear that I would be judged, since mental illness is still so taboo to talk about. It took me a while to realize that my story, while it is unique to me, is not that uncommon. I wanted to share my story and the struggles that I have been through to help others realize that they aren't alone.Knowing that you are not alone when going through challenges can sometimes offer peace and hope, that the challenges you are facing will pass and make you a stronger person. My hope in sharing my story and my struggles is that at least one person will know and understand that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and this too shall pass.
Join Sir Gawain on his journey to seek the green chapel and battle the green knight who dwells there. Accepting the challenge of a Christmas game on behalf of his uncle, King Arthur, the young knight, Sir Gawain, leaves his home of Camelot and travels afar, finding board at a stately castle. Received by a hospitable Host, Sir Gawain finds refuge along with many tests and challenges along the way. His final challenge awaits at the green chapel, where he is to receive a deathly blow of the ax from the green knight. The greatest challenge of all is young Sir Gawain staying honest to himself.Jane England received an F in the children's literature course. The only failing grade of her entire academic career was on a mid-term paper she wrote about the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." Her professor at the time disagreed that the well-studied piece of British literature was also a work of children's literature.Many great works of children's literature demonstrate Joseph Campbell's thesis of the mythical journey of the hero depicting the psychological and spiritual maturation necessary for human existence. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" satisfies all the elements of Joseph Campbell's thesis of the hero's journey: the call to adventure, supernatural aid, crossing the threshold from the known to the unknown, beginning of transformation, aid from a helper, challenges and temptations, the revelation and the abyss, rebirth and transformation, atonement, and return to the known.Albeit, the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" as written did not lend itself easily to be read by children. Ultimately the mutually agreed upon decision was to rewrite a portion of the fourteenth-century work into the text of children's literature following the structure of the hero's journey and proving that the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight can be children's literature. Challenge accepted.On and off for many years beyond college, Jane continued rewriting the entire poem into a simplified form to appeal to children.
