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.

What is the poem prevision about
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

I immediately start thinking of Anne Morrow Lindberg's classic book Gift from the Sea. Another poem I also think of is "Fear" by Gabriela Mistral. Kilmer's poem, especially 13-16, are ready-made for tombstones. "My heart shall keep the child I knew/When you are really gone from me,/And spend its life remembering you/As shells remember the lost sea." This is a poem from a mother's heart, where grief has pierced it beyond the presenthour. It's the brief moments she clings to, and then must acknowledge the brevity of the precious life that was given to her in the form of the child. Lines 11-12 tug at the visual, "A mist about your beauty clings/Like a thin cloud before a star."

How are The Gettysburg Address and the Poem O Captain, My Captain similar and different? The poem and the address are in the
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The similarity between these two texts is that both highlight the admiration for someone who is already dead. The difference is that "The Gettysburg Address" admires soldiers who died in the war, while "O Captain, My Captain" refers to admiration for the ship's captain, who represents Lincoln.

Explanation:

Both texts present an emotional language, where they admire and emphasize the importance of people who died in favor of a cause.

In "The Gettysburg Address" we can see a prose text, where the dead in the civil war are highlighted as heroes and important in this very inhospitable and dangerous environment. In "The Captain, My Captain" the language is even more emotional and shows the admiration of a captain who died while trying to guide his vessel on a dangerous voyage.
