A nun should be modest, had to have poverty, and pity. Chaucer describes the nun in the opposite way to show us, how the nun Prioress had all the characteristics that a nun should not have. She was a nun modest, well educated and with good manners.
There isn't much of a conventional setting in this poem, unless you consider the vague concept of "apocalypse" or the "end of the world" to be a setting.
but, "fire and Ice" starts off with two images of the end of the world. In the first image, the world is a great bubbling mess of fire, lava, and explosions. cities are melting and trees are burning. In the second vision, the world is an ice cube/a ice sphere. a extremely large cloud looms above the earth, and temperatures are so low that life cannot survive.
from there we move to a discussion from the speaker- we now have the image of him "tasting" desire, like Eve biting into the fateful apple in the Garden of Eden. then he rewinds the end of the world somehow, as if this were a film.
In the second apocalypse, things run different. Ice carries the day, driven by the hatred of people.
Idk what this is from but if it's from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer then your answer is Tom learns that work and play depends on how you look at things. Tom was able to convince the other boys that painting his fence was fun and play.
The answer to this blank is "are stolen'' because there are a lot of things which are stolen
