Chapter 4

In chapter four a lot of honorable things happened for Don Quixote. In the beginning of the chapter Don Quixote was happy because he was knighted. So he goes out and he looks for someone that is in the need for his help. Lets see what he finds...

In doing this Don Quixote ran into this countryman whipping this poor old little man. Don Quixote stopped the countryman from beating this poor old man. Asked him why, the countryman's reply was that this man was his servant and he doesn't do what he should, for the flock of sheep. He does it very carelessly that is why I am doing this. Don Quixote did not believe him, and told him if you do not pay want you own I will kill you with my lance. The countryman didn't want this to happen so he said I will pay all that I owe. Then he goes on to say we should take away the three pairs of shoes that I gave him and the two blood - letting for when he was sick. Don Quixote replied But you whipped him when he was well and made him bleed and cut the leather in the shoes you gave him, so its even.
The countryman said okay I will pay what I owe to my servant. Don Quixote leaves (BIG MISTAKE.)
Don Quixote left with his head held high and happy. He left this way because he helped that man get his money and from being whipped.
When Don Quixote, left the countryman tied the man back up and whipped him again. Basically left him for dead. (POOR MAN!)
When Don Quixote got back to the village he saw these two men and told them to say that Dulcinea was the most beautiful girl in the world. The men said why we dont know what this girl looks like show us a picture. Don Quixote replied if you don't I will kill you with my lance, and the men didn't want that to happen so they just said that Dulcinea is the most beautiful girl in the world.

Chapter 11

In begining of chapter of chapter 11 Don Quixote and Sancho were hungry, so the goatherds provided them a meal. During this meal Don Quixote says to Sancho "That you may see, Sancho, the intrinsic worth of Knight-errantry, and how fair a prospect its meanest retainers have of speedily gaining the respect and esteem of the world, I will, that you sit here by my side, and in company with these good folks, and that you be one and the same thing with me, who am your master and natural lord; that you eat from off my plate, and drink of the same cup in which I drink: for the same may be said of knight-errantry which is said of love, that it makes all things equal."Basically, Don Quixote was asking Sancho to join him on him knight-errantry with him, and be his right hand man. Sancho didn't want to be Don Quixote's right hand man, and did not accept the offering.
Because Sancho didn't accept Don Quixote forced him to sit next to him while eating. Afterwards, Don Quixote starts to talk about the golden age. After this scene a gentleman named Antonio sung his song entitled ANTONIO. He did so with all his heart, and tuned his rebeck and song his lungs out.
