Chaucer uses the narrator and the prologue to show that the clergy were suspiciously pretentious during his time. The Prioress acts like a noble although she is supposed to be a model of humility.The Archdeacon is a part of the Friar's Tale. He abuses his authority and shows great greediness by "punishing lepers."The Friar is also very greedy because he profits from those who pay for repentance.The Pardorner tells people about the evils of money but does not believe in them.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

John Steinbeck.

Explanation:

John Ernst Steinbeck Jr, an American writer famous for his works on the lives of the people living during and around the Dust Bowl, said in his Nobel acceptance speech in 1962 that

"<em>The ancient commission of the writer has not changed. He is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement</em>."

His speech was a form of relaying a message that writers like him had to do in order to make known to people the various but harsh realities of life. His take on the migrant farmers' lives during the Dust Bowl in "The Grapes of Wrath" gave him a huge credit for revealing the truth and the lives led by these farmers.
