SUMMARY OF NOVIO BOY

A 9th grade boy named Rudy scores a date with the lovely girl from his school named Patricia.
The only problem is that this is Rudy's first date and it's with an 11th grade girl. He is panicking
about how the date will go so he's in need of help.

Luckily he has his friends and family there to help prepare him for the girl of his dreams. Alex,
his best friend gives him advice on how to talk to girls. Then there was his uncle who help him
pay for his date. Patricia has some doubt from her friends because they think Rudy is too
immature for her.

Patricia gets her hair done at a salon where she ends up seeing Rudy's mom. She wasn't happy
her son was giving some girl all his attention. Rudy ends up taking her to the restaurant when
his whole family starts showing up. Things began to go into catastrophe.

HISTORY OF PEARL HARBOR

(World war I & II)

Shortly before 8am on Sunday 7 December 1941, the first of two

waves of Japanese aircraft launched a devastating attack on the
US Pacific Fleet, moored at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The raid, which
came with no warning and no declaration of war, destroyed four
battleships and damaged four more in just two hours. It also
destroyed 188 US aircraft. While 100 Japanese perished in the
attack, more than 2,400 Americans were killed, with another
1,200 injured.
The causes of the attack on Pearl Harbor stemmed from
intensifying Japanese-American rivalry in the Pacific.
Japans imperial ambitions had been evident from as early as
1931, when she invaded Manchuria. The conquered regions
bountiful resources were then used to supply Japans war
machine. Leaving the League of Nations in 1933, Japan pursued
an aggressive foreign policy aimed at creating the Greater East
Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, a euphemism for a Japanese empire
modelled on European ones of the 19th century.
Japan became seen as a serious threat to the economic interests
and influence of the US and European powers in Asia. By July
1937, with Japan engaged in all-out war with China, relations
plunged to new lows. US President Roosevelt imposed economic
sanctions, and Japan turned to the Axis powers, signing the
Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy in September 1940.
When Japan occupied French Indochina in July
1941, Roosevelt continued to avoid direct confrontation. But

Japans imperial ambitions in the Pacific had placed her on a

collision course with the United States, which controlled the
Philippines and had extensive economic interests throughout the
region. When the US imposed an oil embargo on Japan,
threatening to suffocate her economy, Japans response was to
risk everything on a massive pre-emptive strike which would
knock the US out of the Pacific, clearing the way for a Japanese
conquest of resource-rich South East Asia.
The Japanese achieved complete surprise at Pearl Harbor,
something that can largely be attributed to failures in US
intelligence. Although the US had cracked Japanese radio codes,
in this case the raw data was not interpreted correctly by army
and navy. Although the attack pummelled American battleships,
US aircraft carriers escaped unscathed. This was critical because
the Pacific Fleet would have been virtually incapable of operating
without them.
The following day, the US declared war against Japan, where a
shared sense of outrage and hatred had united the countrys
bitterly divided media and public behind Roosevelt. On 11
December 1941, Germany and Italy declared war on the United
States, thus bringing America into World War II.
Pearl Harbor appeared to be a huge success for Japan. It was
followed by rapid Japanese conquests inHong
Kong, Singapore, Burma, the Philippines, Malaya and New Guinea.
Yet in the long term, the attack was strategically catastrophic. The
sleeping giant had been awoken, and in America, a sense of fury
now accompanied the mobilisation for war of the worlds most
powerful economy. The losses at Pearl Habor would soon be more
than made good, and used to take a terrible vengeance on Japan.

Sir Lancelot Du Lac (Launcelot)

Lancelot was the son of King Ban of Benwick
and Queen Elaine. He was the First Knight of
the Round Table, and he never failed in
gentleness, courtesy, or courage. Launcelot
was also a knight who was very willing to serve
others.
It has been said that Lancelot was the greatest
fighter and swordsman of all the knights of the
Round Table. Legend tells us that as a child, Lancelot was left by
the shore of the lake, where he was found by Vivien, the Lady of
the Lake. She fostered and raised him, and in time Lancelot
became one of history's greatest knights.

Sir Gawain
Gawain is generally said to be the nephew
of Arthur. His parents were Lot of Orkney
and Morgause (though his mother is said
to be Anna in Geoffrey of Monmouth).
Upon the death of Lot, he became the
head of the Orkney clan, which includes in
many sources his brothers Agravain,
Gaheris, and Gareth, and his half-brother
Mordred.

Sir Geraint
The eldest son of King Erbin of Dumnonia who was a
Knight of Devon. After the death of his his wife,
Prince Geraint spent much time at King Arthur's
Court, looking for action and adventure. It was
during this period that he encountered the Sparrow
Hawk Knight and came to marry Lady Enid of CaerTeim (Cardiff), a story told in the ancient tales of
"Erec (alias Geraint) & Enid" and "Geraint mab
Erbin".
Sir Geraint restored Sir Yniol all of his possessions
and then married his beautiful daughter, Lady Enid.
Later Geraint heard Enid bewailing his sloth as a knight; he was stung with
shame and mistakenly believed Enid to be unfaithful to him. He took her on a
journey through a series of trials until she convinced him of her constancy.
They returned and lived in happiness for the remainder of their lives.

Sir Gareth
Gareth was the youngest brother of Sir
Gawain and the son of Lot and Morgause
of Orkney. He played a significant role in
Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. Malory's "Tale
of Sir Gareth" was apparently created by
Malory. It presents Gareth as an exemplar
of chivalry who is knighted by and
devoted to Sir Lancelot and who acts
chivalrously towards Lynette despite her abuse of him.

Sir Gaheris
Sir Gaheris was the son of King Lot of
Orkney and his wife Morgause, sister of
King Arthur, before being knighted he
was squire to his elder brother Gawaine.
Sir Gaheris married Lynette on the day
his brother Gareth married hersister,
Dame Lionesse, of the Castle Perilous.
The two brothers were slain in the struggle following the rescue of
Queen Guinevere from the fire, though this was by accident as Sir
Lancelot did not recognise them in the crowd. Sir Gawaine for a
long time held Sir Lancelot in bitter hatred.

Sir Bedivere
Sir Bedivere was a trusty supporter of King Arthur from the
beginning of his reign, and one of the first knights to join the
fellowship of the Round Table. He helped Arthur fight the Giant of
Mont St. Michel, and later he was made Duke of Neustria.
Bedivere had only one hand later in life, having lost one of his

hands in a battle. He had a son

called Amren and a daughter named
Eneuavc.

Sir Galahad
Galahad was the natural son of
Launcelot. His name may be of Welsh
origin or come from the place name
Gilead in Palestine. His mother was
Elaine, and he was placed in a nunnery
as a child, being that the abbess there
was his great aunt.
One day a sword in a stone was seen in
a river by Arthur's knights, and it was
said that only the world's best knight
could pull out the sword. Galahad was
led into Arthur's court where he sat in
the Siege Perilous and then drew the
sword out. It was later on when the Grail
appeared in a vision at Arthur's court that Galahad was one of the three
knights chosen to undertake the Quest for the Holy Grail. He was given a
white shield, made by Evelake, with a red cross which Joseph of Arimathea
had drawn in blood. In the course of the Quest he joined up with Percivale,
Bors, and Percivale's sister. On board Solomon's ship, Galahad obtained the
Sword of David, and after the death of Percivale's sister the trio split up for a
while and Galahad traveled with his father, Launcelot.

Sir Kay
Sir Kay was the son of Ector (Ectorious) and the
foster brother of King Arthur. History records Kay
(Cai in Welsh) as being a very tall man, as shown
by his epithet, the Tall. He appears in the
Mabinogion tale of "Culhwch and Olwen" as the
foremost warrior at the Court of the King Arthur,
and apparently had mystical powers and was
called one of the "Three Enchanter Knights of
Britain" for:
"nine nights and nine days his breath lasted under
water, nine nights and nine days would he be
without sleep. A wound from Cai's sword no physician might heal. When it
pleased him, he would be as tall as the tallest tree in the forest. When the
rain was heaviest, whatever he held in his hand would be dry for a
handbreadth before and behind, because of the greatness of his heat, and,
when his companions were coldest, he would be as fuel for them to light a
fire".

Sir Bors de Ganis

Sir Bors was the only knight to survive the
Quest for the Holy Grail and return to court.
His fathers name was Bors, and he later
succeeded his father as King of Gannes.
Bors was a chaste knight, but the daughter

of King Brandegoris fell in love with him, and with the aid of a
magic ring forced Bors into loving her.

Sir Lamorak
Lamorak was the son of King Pellinore
and in some legends the brother of
Percivale. He was one of the strongest
Knights of the Round Table. Lamorak
was the lover of Morgause, whose
husband King Lot of Orkney had been
killed by Lamorak's father, Pellinore.

Sir Tristan (Tristram)

Tristan, or Tristram in Old English, was a
contemporary of King Arthur and a Knight of the
Round Table. He was the nephew and champion
of King Mark of Cornwall and the son of Meliodas,
King of Lyoness. Tristan's mother died when he
was born, and as a young man he took service
with his uncle, Mark.
Tristan became the champion of his uncle after
defeating and killing Marhaus of Ireland in a duel.
That defeat led to a truce with King Anguish of
Ireland and he arranged for his daughter, Iseult to be married to King Mark. It
was Tristan who was sent to Ireland to fetch the would be Queen. While in
the process of bringing her back to Cornwall, Tristan and Iseult fell helplessly
in love with one another. Therefore, they fled from Mark and lived the rest of
their days on the run.

Sir Percivale
Percivale was raised by his mother in
ignorance of arms and courtesy. Percivale's
natural prowess, however, led him to
Arthur's court where he immediately set off
in pursuit of a knight who had offended
Guinevere. Percivale is the Grail knight or
one of the Grail knights in numerous
medieval and modern stories of the Grail quest. Percivale first
appears in Chrtien de Troyes's unfinished Percivale or Conte del
Graal (c.1190). The incomplete story prompted a series of
"continuations," in the third of which (c. 1230), by an author
named Manessier, Percivale achieves the Grail. (An analogue to
Chrtien's tale is found in the thirteenth-century Welsh romance
Peredur.)

Life of King Arthur

Arthur was the first

born son of King Uther
Pendragon and heir to
the throne. However
these were
very troubled
times and Merlin, a
wise magician,
advised that the baby
Arthur should be
raised in a secret
place and that none should know his true identity.
As Merlin feared, when King Uther died there was great conflict
over who should be the next king. Merlin used his magic to set a
sword in a stone. Written on the sword, in letters of gold, were
these words: "Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone is the
rightwise born king of all England." Of course all the contenders
for the throne took their turn at trying to draw the sword, but
none could succeed. Arthur, quite by chance, withdrew the sword
for another to use in a tournament. Following this he became
King.
He gathered Knights around him and fought back against the
Saxons who, since the Romans left Britain, were slowly but surely
taking the country over. After many great battles and a huge

victory at Mount Badon the Saxons' advance was halted.

Arthur's base was at a place called Camelot. Here he built a
strong castle. His knights met at a Round Table. They carried out
acts of chivalry such as rescuing damsels in distress and fought
against strange beasts. They also searched for a lost treasure,
which they believed would cure all ills - this was the 'Quest for the
Holy Grail'.
Under the guidance of Merlin, Arthur had obtained a magical
sword from The Lady Of The Lake. This sword was called
'Excalibur" and with this weapon he vanquished many foes.
Queen Guinevere, Arthur's beautiful wife brought romance to the
story while his equally beautiful half sister Morgan le Fay added a
dark side.
Unfortunately, as peace settled over the country things turned
sour within the court of Camelot and civil war broke out. In the
final battle at Camlan both Arthur and Mordred, Arthur's traitorous
nephew, were mortally wounded. Arthur was set upon a boat and
floated down river to the isle of Avalon. Here his wounds were
treated by three mysterious maidens. His body was never found
and many say that he rests under a hill with all his knights - ready
to ride forth and save the country again.
