What was the purpose of satire in the Canterbury Tales

English
1 answer:
snow_lady [41]3 years ago

Chaucer uses satire in the descriptions of the pilgrims in the "General Prologue" of The Canterbury Tales<span> to reveal corruption in the Church that was prevalent in society.  Many members of the clergy used their positions for personal gain.  This can be seen in his cast of characters.  Of all the pilgrims associated with the Church, the Parson is the only one who is honorable. </span>

Which statement tells where a paragraph break should be in this dialogue?
bekas [8.4K]
I guess the paragraph break should be after the B) Ellen asked and "How are you feeling?" and Ellen said. Because while reading this dialog, reader need a pause between the information which these characters exchange. In my opinion, there must be graphical and emotional space between their introduction and next action that hasn't revealed yet. Also, I'd choose B to make this conversation looks alive.

Read this excerpt from The Time Machine. Then complete the sentences that follow. And perhaps the thing that struck me most was
castortr0y [4]

1) The description of the broken windows and dusty curtains in the first paragraph foreshadows the Time Traveler's later discovery that <u>the race he encounters in the novel known as the Elois is not an intelligent race and that they are quite inactive and slow in comparison to Morlocks who are the complete opposite of them.</u>

2)  The Time Traveler thinks that the diet of fruit is <u>that the Elois race simply accepts the state of the situation in which they live. As mentioned previously, they are quite lethargic and with 0 will to fight back or change their fate.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The text that has been provided above is from the Science fiction novel that has been written by H.G. Wells, named The Time machine. In the excerpt that has been given here shows that Elois is the race showing the future of human society.

Eloi is a person who does not have to do anything in his or her entire life because they have some one else to do work for them and they are their working class.
