the author's purpose and what genre it is
Chaucer uses satire in his characterization of the Pardoner to criticize the Church. The Pardoner's sermon against greed humorously contrasts with his exaggerated greediness. Chaucer creates such an excessively greedy character to draw attention to real corruption in the Church and to bring about change.
The destroying of the ring
Conjunctive adverbs connect one clause to another clause, or one idea to another idea:
Joanne was very good at math; however, she is not good at English.
Descriptive adjectives can be separated with commas in a sentence such as:
Joanne did not want to pet the smelly, wet dog.
<span>When you look up a word in a
basic dictionary, there is quite a bit of information you’ll find. Of course, you’ll find the definition of the
word. If the word, however, has more
than one meaning, all meanings will be presented in the entry. The word will be spaced out into syllables. You’ll see the phonetic pronunciation of the
word. For instance, if you look up the
word, “happy,” you’ll see “hap-ee.” In
addition, some dictionaries will also present a word’s language origin (such as
Latin or French) as well as the part of speech such as whether the word is a
noun, verb, adjective, etc. </span>
