In the prologue of the "Canterbury Tales", peculiar characteristics of personality of the pilgrim characters, who are on their way to a shrine, are presented and described. The pilgrimage was a fine opportunity fro people from various social estates and ranks to intermingle and exchange in their tales the way of living of the class they belonged to. An example of a positive representation is the noble knight, who told a romance, "and he a worthy man / Who from the moment that he first began / To ride about the world, loved chivalry." A personification of courtly love and honor he was indeed. In contrast for instance with the Miller, who "was a janglere and a goliardeys, / And that was most of sinne and harlotryes." This coarse pilgrim told a fabliau, a genre about ordinary people opposite to the romance which depicted life at noble courts in fair kingdoms, to mock the Knight's story. Never in life would they have met, however, pilgrimage allowed their encountering and Chaucer was aware of the possibilities of the journey for people from different estates to interact.

Summarize about amendment 5 with your own words.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

so I think that the fifth amendment in my own words would be change the reason why I say change is because it kind of changed the grand jury in a way if you think about it so if you change the way people did things and BC or before we switch to the Gregorian calendar I know it's kind of off but if you think about it it changed didn't it but it's more than change because they said it guarantees your right and it forbids a double jeopardy against self-incrimination so if you're in court and you got a case it protects your right against self-incrimination so nobody can do that to you and that's what I think about it

What effect does the presidents use of repetition in this passage have on the audience?
Eva8 [605]
I’m what work? You should be more specific.

But in any case, repetition helps focus the audiences attention to what the narrator finds most important. And is an important rhetorical device.
