Verbal analogies are important to know since you tend to use them in everyday speech, but you also need to know them for state tests.

Verbal analogies help you with vocabulary, since you happen to make analogies between pairs of words. It also makes you learn the secondary meaning of words to be able to draw better analogies.

Besides that, you are often asked to solve analogies on state tests.

Canterburytales summary

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.

A student must write a five-paragraph essay about a current social issue. Which of the following topics is probably too broad?

Ivahew [28]

Unfortunately you didn't share any options so that I could give you the right answer but I have one suggestion for you. Do not decide to describe the problems with the American legal system if you need to write a five-paragraph essay about a current social issue. Just because this topic is not a shallow one and you will need to analyse loads of information that should be included without reducing the sense. I hope it's clear. I would write something like ''the dangers of using cell phones while driving''.

How is tita like a box of matches

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Dr. Brown shows Tita how phosphorous combined with oxygen can create a flame. He shares with her one of his grandmother’s old sayings that everyone has a box of matches inside them that can only be lit by oxygen and a candle. The oxygen, says Dr. Brown is a lover and the candle can be any other pleasure in life. He claims that finding the elements to ignite the matches within is a task that each person must complete in order to nourish his soul. If a person does not discover what ignites their matches then the matchbox dampens and the soul leaves the body in search of something to nourish it.
Also this symbol of “matches” repeats throughout the book as a symbol of Tita’s happiness and her life. When all the matches are light in the end she died.
