Answer:

Explanation:

The moral lesson that Pardoner's Tale gives and is still valid today is that one must not be greedy as it can lead to many other evil acts. This idea still best applies to life today as we live in a world where people have become more avid which leads to many pernicious deeds.

In his tale Pardoner tells that three friends were sitting and drinking when they here the funeral knell. Someone come and tells them that one of their friend is killed last night by someone named 'Death'. To take revenge the three friends make a quest to search for 'Death'. They come across an old man in sorrow who is waiting for 'Death' to come and take his life when they hear the name 'Death' they ask the old man where is 'Death' and he tells them that he left 'Death' under an oak tree. The three friends reach under the oak tree but did not find 'Death' but instead, they find a bag full of gold coins. They become greedy and think of stealing the bag in night time and send one friend to fetch some bread and wine from home so that they can wait till night to steal. That one friend becomes greedy and conspires to kill his other two friends so that he could take all the money for himself. So he puts poison in two wine bottle and goes back to his friends where his two friends attack him and drinks wine from the poisoned bottle. Thus, Pardoner concludes his tale that all must be aware of 'sin of avarice' which brings 'treachery and death'.

This tale contains many ironic elements. But the overall irony of the tale was the Pardoner who usually preaches every sermon on greed is himself greedy of relics.

Write an essay using all the notes and giving reasons for your point of view. (140-190 words)
xz_007 [3.2K]

In this exercise, you have to write an essay giving your point of view about where young offenders should be sent.

An essay should have an introduction, a body where you state why you think what you think and a conclusion where you give the essay a closure and you reaffirm what you stated before.

In this case, you need to take into account writing about:

1. Being punished for a crime. You need to explain if you think the punishment should be being sent to an army camp or to prison. However, you can even discuss if punishment is okay or if there should be another penalization after a young person commits a crime. Since it is an opinion essay, you can decide what you want to say regarding this specific item.

2. Learning life skills. Here you might want to discuss what place is better to learn life skills or whether they are able to learn any life skills there or not, also, you can discuss how young offenders should learn life skills.

3. You have to write something that has not been said before in the essay about the topic. For example, you can tell your opinion regarding young offenders being in the same place as adult offenders who have been in prison for a long time.

In conclusion, it is up to you what you want to write in the essay but you need to be aware of the <u>essay structure</u> and also <u>writing about what you are being asked.</u>
