<h3>What is satire?</h3>
Satire is the act of criticizing a bad situation or event using humorous lines of reasoning. This is exactly what Chaucer accomplishes in this excerpt.
He criticized the materialistic aspect of religion where many thought that God was impressed by their financial donations and would thus overlook their sins. In a humorous manner, Chaucer tells the people to come with their gold and have their sins forgiven.

Or maybeee, this might be the best one yet, rain helps plants grow, trees=plants, illuminating of a plant=growth, GROWTH FROM RAIN. Ok I'm done... I hope at least a little of this made sense and maybe helped lol.
