Answer:

"The Canterbury Tales"

In ''The Canterbury Tales'', the pilgrims are setting off to see the shrine of a martyr, which seems to color the stories they tell to each other on the way. This lesson discusses the morality and lessons learned in ''The Canterbury Tales''.

The Canterbury Tales is a book written by 14th century poet Geoffrey Chaucer. The story, which was published almost 80 years after Chaucer's death, tells of 29 people at the Tabard Inn who met each other while traveling to see the shrine of the martyr Saint Thomas Becket, which was located in Canterbury. It is there they also meet the host and narrator of the tale, Harry Bailly. They decide to travel together, and end up telling each other tales to pass the time and win a free dinner at the end of the trip.

Chaucer originally intended to write a story in which each character in the party told four tales, two tales on the way to the shrine and two tales on the way back. However, the published book consists of the main story, plus 24 additional tales. This has led some people to believe that the book was never finished.

When Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales, England was experiencing a lot of upheaval due to class wars, political tension, and the Black Death, a plague that was killing a lot of the population. These events and the ways in which the characters document social tensions impact the themes of this book. Although none of the characters state it specifically, there is a moral lesson in each of the tales.

The Canterbury Tales is a frame narrative, or a story told around another story or stories. The frame of the story opens with a gathering of people at the Tabard Inn in London who are preparing for their journey to the shrine of St. Becket in Canterbury. The Canterbury Tales consists of many tales starting with the General Prologue and ending with Chauser's retraction. Not all tales are complete; several contain their own Prologues or Epilogues. Probably influenced by French syllable counting, Chauser developed for the Canterbury Tales, a line of 10 syllabus with alternating accent and regular end rhyme - An ancestor of Heroic Couplet.

The purpose of the Canterbury tales was three-dimensional characters.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

The main topic for a class discussion after reading the poem by Emily Dickinson "Musicians Wrestle Everywhere" is A) where the action of the poem takes place. It is due to the fact that this poem relates not only to music or bands, but to the everyday sounds that are around us even before we wake up until the end of the day. The author refers to "new life", as a biblical reference in which life begins every single day, she also refers to music as "the spheres" which could symbolize the mathematical influence there exist in music. She ends up telling that the music or sounds "Of vanished Dames- and Men" are celestial. Therefore, the poem could be related to life, its beginning, its end, the ascension to Heaven, reborn and all of the former beyond the mundane noises.

Answer:

Preposition

Adverb

Prepositional phrase

Adjective

Prepositional phrase

Adverb

Noun

Prepositional phrase

Object of the prepositional phrase

Explanation:

  • 'In' in the first sentence is a preposition as it is followed by the noun to form the prepositional phrase which will function as the adjective to modify the noun 'engineers.'
  • 'Around' in the second sentence is functioning as an adverb because it modifies the verb 'ran' and provides information about where the action took place.
  • 'At Night' in the third sentence is a prepositional phrase as it consists of a preposition plus its object(night) and function as the adverb in the sentence.
  • 'Disgruntled' in the fourth sentence functions as an adjective as it qualifies the noun 'engineers' in the sentence.
  • 'Along the river bank' is also functioning as a prepositional phrase which is acting as an adverb to modify the verb 'strolled.'
  • 'Nightly' is the adverb in the next sentence as it describes the manner in which the action was done.
  • 'Engineers' in the next sentence is the noun as it refers to the class of a people and acts as the subject in the sentence.
  • 'In the union' is also a prepositional phrase which is acting as an adjective to qualify the noun in the sentence.
  • 'Union' in the last sentence is the object of the preposition as it is followed by a preposition and forms the prepositional phrase to act like an adjective in the sentence.
