the food supply in Elizabethan England
The entire paragraph is about the food supply in Elizabethan England. It describes how food was valuable because it was not always easy to acquire. Travel was more difficult in Elizabethan England than in present day so the food supply was limited to what was available close by. Food options also varied by season. Some due to when certain fruits and vegetables were ale to grow and others due to when the food could be carried to different markets.
<u>Answer</u>:
The parables in the monk's tale tell us about the intentions of the monk that the Monk is lost in his own preaching or speech.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Parable” is a short fiction story that illustrates or teaches a moral or religious value associated with it.
‘The Monk’s tale’ is a series of tragic stories which teach that one should not blindly trust prosperity as one’s fate keep changing. Chaucer’s intent is to make fun of parables and people who told them. This is because monk is only telling tragic stories to people. He is himself lost in his preaching to other people.
In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."
Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then.
"They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."
This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail. The author notices that they don't remember and it could potentially be that they wanted not to remember. Unconsciously they blocked the horrible things they had done and seen.
