Answer:

We are introduced to Jonas, the eleven-year-old protagonist of the story, as he struggles to find the right word to describe his feelings as he approaches an important milestone. He rejects “frightened” as too strong a word, recalling a time when he had really been frightened: a year ago, an unidentified aircraft flew over his community—it was a strange and unprecedented event, since Pilots were not allowed to fly over the community. As Jonas remembers the community reaction to the event, we learn more about the society in which he lives. It is extremely structured, with official orders transmitted through loudspeakers planted all around the community. As a punishment, the pilot was “released” from the community—the worst fate that can befall a citizen. Jonas decides he is apprehensive, not frightened, about the important thing that is going to happen in December. Jonas and his society value the use of precise and accurate language.

The Monk's Tale is one of the stories in "The Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer. The pilgrims were made to each narrate a story to pass the time and this is how it came into being. One of these pilgrims is the Monk, who narrates a number of tragedy stories among the many stories he knows by heart. His stories tells of "the fall of those who stood in high degree" (The Monk's Tale).

Explanation:

In all of the stories told by the Monk, the themes of a fall of fortune all seems to resonate in them. One of those stories is that of the fall of Lucifer.

Lucifer was regarded as one of the most high angels in God's kingdom. He was even named "<em>morning star</em>". But due to his arrogance, pride and self given importance, he became overcome with so much ego. He decided to revolt against God, resulting in him being thrown out of heaven. To this day, he is still in hell, suffering for the mistakes he had committed.
