The Friar and the Summoner tell tales of mockery about one another. The Friar has no respect for the Summoner and holds him in disdain.

The Friar's Tale humiliates and degrades members of a certain profession.

The main character of the Friar's Tale is an impersonal representation of all summoners.

Answer: The tone of the coversation between these two characters of the Canterbury Tales is that of animosity and humour.

Explanation:

It was well known at the time that there was a mutual dislike between the professions of Friars and Summoners. In particular, the Friar of the Canterbury Tales thinks that all summoners are corrupt and acuses them of briving people to avoid being charged. The Summoner thinks friars are hypocrites in that their lifestyle doens't match the church's standards. This animosity is reflected in the tone of the conversation between them. They express themselves verbally attacking the other in a mocking tone. Humour is what prevails in this exchange. For instance, the Friar laughs at the too long preamble of the Wife of Bath. So here comes the comment of the Summoner, who criticizes the Friar' interruption and compares him to a housefly. He accuses him of ruining all the fun and makes everybody who is around notice this. In response to this, The Friar doesn't feel sorry for interrupting. Instead he threatens to tell a story about a summoner and that everybody will laugh about it. In return, The Friar raises the bet by threating to know two or three tales about friars, tales where friars are humiliated. All in all, they mock each other, showing no remorse of the dislike for each other and seem to want people to know how corrupt and unethical both are..

Through this conversation, the Friar and the Summoner show us who they really are and their behavior deepends what people may think of them. They are not worthy of their professions, they don't seem to behave as they should and they don't even try to hide who they really are.

Which sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay is most likely the thesis statement
Dmitrij [34]

The given question is incomplete as the excerpt is not given. The excerpt should be given below:

'O. Henry's short story "The Gift of Magi" is about a couple who are deeply in love. Della and Jim are poor, but they each want to buy the other a special Christmas present. Because they have no money, they sell their own priced possessions to be able to afford presents for each other. O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love. Despite having no luxuries, Della and Jim are willing to make sacrifices for each other because their love is true.'

The sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.'  A thesis statement is typically stated in a single sentence, however it might be repeated elsewhere.

  • O. Henry illustrates that true love is unaffected by poverty in his short story "The Gift of Magi" because it captures the essence of his point.
  • Della sells her hair so that she may afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch, while Jim sells his lovely pocket watch so that he can buy a brooch for Della's lovely long hair.
  • As a result, their tangible gifts are meaningless, but one has nonetheless shown the other that they are capable of sacrificing their most valued assets for one another, so demonstrating their love for one another.
  • The real gift they both receive from the Magi on that particular Christmas day is this realisation.

Therefore, the sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.' An essay's, research paper's, etc. core idea or claim is succinctly summarised in the thesis statement.

I have to do a essay on an upcoming artist, I chose hip hop (rap) but I cant choose between Ski Mask, Chance The Rapper, or Kend
Lilit [14]

<span>When trying to decide to write about anything, here is my advice to you—write about what most interests you.  Thus, my first recommendation to you is to write about the artist whom you most like.  My second recommendation to you would be to write about the artist who has the most written about him/her.  If there is a lot written about your topic, your research will be easier, and you’ll have more perspectives from which to choose as you vet your sources.  Lastly, if, however, all three artists are equally as popular, and have an equal amount written about them, then, I would suggest going with the one whom you most recently read up on because you’ll be able to write more with information that is still “fresh” in your mind.</span>
