Answer:

The Skipper also called the shipman, is described by Chaucer as a good man with a good leadership and love for his work, in the following extract it is possible to appreciate the way in which the author takes into account several details about the way of wearing clouds and the possible story affairs behind the current appearance

Explanation:

The Skipper also called the shipman, is described by Chaucer as a good man with a good leadership and love for his work, in the following extract it is possible to appreciate the way in which the author takes into account several details about the way of wearing clouds and the possible story affairs behind the current appearance:

''He rode upon a rouncy (hack), as he couth, All in a gown of falding (coarse cloth) to the knee. A dagger hanging by a lace had he About his neck under his arm adown; The hot summer had made his hue all brown; And certainly he was a good fellaw.''

It is also possible to infer that the skipper is also described as a strong man, once the author emphasizes in the fact that he has a hanging dagger; this fact in some way let the reader know that the Skipper is someone who will be disposed to fight if it is necessary.  

''Of nice conscience took he no keep. If that he fought and had the higher hand, By water he sent them home to every land (he drowned his prisoners).''

Besides, it is also noticeable taking into account this information, that the shipman is not a fancy character since he hangs his dagger with a simple lace; reason why he has the respect of the rest of pilgrims with whom he shares this adventure, he is just described by the author as a man able to defend his position as he loves to do his work as it is possible to appreciate between lines:

''There was none such, from Hull unto Carthage, Hardy he was, and wise, I undertake: With many a tempest had his beard been shake. He knew well all the havens, as they were, From Scotland to the Cape of Finisterre.''

Alex

Since you are requesting that I write a paragraph, please give brainliest.

These jeans are clearly a demand for me, since I really want them. I want to buy them but sadly I can't afford them, so my last resort is to work hard for them. I may not need a new pair of jeans, but they are the hottest ones out there right now.
