Read the following lines from the prologue of the Canterbury tales: " then do folk long to go on pilgrimage, / and palmers go se

eking out strange strands, / to distant shrines well known in sundry lands." (Ch. 1, 12-13)

The "distant shrines" refer to the tombs or burial places of saints and other religious figures.
An example of the kind of saint they were traveling to see is Sir Thomas Becket. He was a Christian martyr who could heal people, and his 'shrine' was one of the popular destinations for pilgrims.

what did Jacques Three and M Defarge do in Dr Manette's old cell at the Bastille? ( a tale of two cities) ​
Anni [7]
Monsieur Defarge is hunting for any written evidence that Dr. Manette might have produced before he lost his mind and forgot completely what had occurred which resulted in his lengthy internment. He is eager to find this because his wife, as the sister of the family who was so wronged by the Evremondes, has pledged herself to gain vengeance on the Everemondes. Such a letter would give her ammunition against Charles Darnay, and allow him to be convicted and executed as an enemy of the people.

Note how this event is foreshadowed in Chapter 6 of Book the Second, quite ironically, by Charles Darnay himself. He tells the story to Dr. Manette and Lucie about the Tower of London - the "double" of the Bastille in terms of its function as a prison. H remembers how workmen came across a secret dungeon which had remained forgotten for many years. One prisoner had written "Dig" on the wall, and underneath a tile were found the ashes of a paper. The prisoner had written something down and concealed it from his imprisoners. Note the reaction this has on Dr. Manette:

He had suddenly started up, with his hand to his head. His manner and his look quite terrified them all.
This clearly suggests that on some subliminal level Dr. Manette had likewise at one time produced a letter which he had hidden in his cell, which Defarge finds and is so tragically used to condemn Darnay, Dr. Manette's son in law.

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Explaining your reasons and building interest before asking for a decision or action is an example of what? E. A way to start increasing desire

Explanation:

When you explain your reasons to the audience and you try to build interestt in them you are trying to motivate them. You are giving them knowledge in order to raise awareness and in the next step of this: desire. An audience analysis would be something much more exhaustive. When it comes to persuasive messages, this is not the case because that would be a more agressive approach. Also, this is not an example of eliminating concerns about nothing. And regarding psychographics of the audience, this is not the case.
