Fable

Rob & the Hoodies

historical background: story is set in the medieval times

RH in love with Maid Marian -but no proof of this in history

RH in the Crusades - came back - but his property taken by Sheriff of Nottingham

RH popular folk hero who really existed - but very few details about him - so a lot of legend around him

RH's friends: the Merry Men

Sheriff of Nottingham hates RH

RH is good at archery - won an archery contest

RH was an outlaw

Is a person who steals from other people a hero? Rob has doubts about all the story when the Hoodies steal from him - maybe RH and his Merry Men were only a gang of thieves?

Will says: the story is not about stealing, but about the weak standing up to the strong = message of the story
