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.

Write an essay on why we should always do our homework
Burka [1]

Answer:Present Situation Many children today have to spend hours every evening doing homework. One side: Some people seem to believe that this will help the children in their academic career. Other side: Others feel that homework is mostly useless. Thesis: This essay will examine the positive and negative aspects of homework and discuss its benefits for schoolchildren.

Body Paragraph 1: (For) Topic: There are several advantages to homework if it is given in the correct amounts and at the right time. Reason 1: First of all, students do need some practice of new material learned in school. Supporting Detail 1:They need to sit quietly at home and find out how well they understand the new information and ideas. Reason 2: Secondly, homework helps the teacher to know what the students have or have not learned. Supporting Detail 2: The teacher can then change the next lessons to match. Reason 3: A third point is that homework can involve parents in the education of the child. Supporting Detail 3: Family members can encourage the child and see his or her progress.

Body Paragraph 2: (Against). Topic: However, too often there are negative aspects to homework. Reason 1: Many teachers give too much homework, and often teachers do not coordinate the quantity given. Supporting Detail 1:The children do not have free time to relax or play sports. Reason 2: A further point is that unnecessary assignments raise the stress level of the student. Supporting Detail 2:This can actually lower productivity and performance, instead of raising it. Reason 3: However, the main argument against homework is that most of it is just boring practice. Supporting Detail 3:The students learn nothing new – the teachers just give it because they are expected to. Summary/Extra Information: I agree that some practice is good, but endless practice of the same material does not lead to improvement. Conclusion/Summary: In conclusion, the need to give homework must be considered carefully. One side: It can be helpful in certain circumstances, Other side but students and teachers must understand the value and importance of homework. Future: In my opinion, finding the balance between free time and homework will lead to a happy and successful school experience for our children.
