. When first looked at you can automatically see a difference with the samurai warriors and the English knights. And if it isn't that
obvious yet it will be soon. Just at looks of it you can tell that it is definitely spelled differently. You can obviously see that the samurai
have led there title with an S. Now was this intentional? I think so. I think they knew what they were doing when they chose S as there
first letter. They knew that there couldn't be a cooler word with such a high first letter. Now was this really an honor to them though?
The English didn't think so they enjoyed having there letter closer to the beginning of the alphabet. They believed that coming before
everyone would make you greater than being bigger. Now because these two different groups did believe in this way they were never
forced to fight each other. There has been the great argument that one would always over power the other but it goes both ways every
time it is told. It is hard to say what would happen as they were two different fighters in two different scenarios.
. The second biggest difference is the countries that they come from. If you notice one set of fighters is from Japan and the other is
from England. These are two different countries that are far apart and definitely have different customs. Another thing is that they
look a lot different than each other. There ways of life were definitely different too. As we see in all of the movies most of the English
knights are evil and all that want is money money money. As opposed to all of the samurai movies that you see where the samurai
are very humble men who follow the code of bushido.
. And lastly there is the weaponry and armor they wore. The samurai basically wore nothing which made them very agile in a fight. The
knights on the other hand got really decked out with metal armor which made them a little slower but still just as effective. And the
weapons used by the samurai, was usually a long sword called a katana and a smaller sword known as a wakasashi. The knights would
usually have a knights sword and a shield. Most knight swords were either claymores or bastard swords. And that's about it for my
report it took me approximately 10 minutes out of my day to write this because I was really bored and I think I should get an A for being
the only one to turn in my paper. And if I'm not the only one at least the first.
