Schools should start teaching students how to write resumes as soon as they can start working. Schools wait till the students are juniors and seniors to help them write resumes. But what about the students that want to start working at 14? If schools taught the younger students how to write resumes it could influence them to start thinking about their future or something they might be interested in.

If schools started helping students write resumes and talk about careers when they can start working they can start thinking about what they want to do for a living instead of waiting till their last years of highschool. They could get in experience and learn different skills before they have to decide what they want to pursue after high school. Some students have no clue what they want to do once they graduate, if schools started talking about carres at a younger age they could try different things, take classes in high school that interest them or go towards the career they want in life. 45% of students in a 2016 survey say that they feel positive about their career and college readiness, while the other 55% don't feel ready. Another survey from 2016 says that 46% of students feel that their school has helped them figure out a career choice based on their abilities and interest, that means over half of those students feel unprepared and have no clue on what they want to do after graduation.

I believe that if students get the extra consulting and preparation for college and future careers at a younger age they would be more prepared for college. Students go to schools to help them get an education and prepare them for life after highschool, but how well does school actually prepare you? “A survey conducted by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) found that only 55 percent of students attending high school feel prepared to enter the real world. This is concerning since high-schools do teach pupils how to think critically, respect deadlines, be part of a team, be punctual, or study properly.”(AzBigMedia). This shows that students don't feel that highschool prepares them enough for the real world. High school is supposed to help students discover who they are and who they want to be, it’s supposed to help them learn life skills and learn what career choices interest them. Students can't learn who they are or what they want to be if the schools don't prepare them or help them learn about careers and jobs that interest them.

Schools should better prepare students for college, future careers and life after highschool. If schools started teaching students at a younger age it could improve how prepared students feel about their life after high school and their career and college choices.

Answer:The narrator's voice in the "Canterbury Tales" and "Troilus and Crisseyde" create the perfect settings to portray and depict medieval times lifestyle. He used pilgrimage as a way to bring people from different all classes, backgrounds and social contexts together and gave them the opportunity to interact with each other. Normally it would have been in extremely difficult for a noble knight and a miller to have some sort of social contact with each other, due to the fact of their social status because in this time period ranking would have been an impediment. All of the characters were able intermingle and to be able to listen to the marvelous tales that each one of them had to tell.

Before the Chaucer continues on into the tales, he first describes each of the circumstances and the current social rank of each one of the pilgrims. He describes each one in turn, starting with the highest status individuals, to him at least, to the lowest. Chaucer's voice, changes based on how he perceives each character. By just reading the script it is not always easy to determine the author's view point, but the narrator does appear to hold more favorable views of certain people who think similarly to him.
