Create a modern tale which mimics the structure and purpose of Chaucer’s tale. Write from the point of view of a contemporary tr

aveler, heading for a destination of worship (not necessarily religious) with a group of friends and acquaintances. For your pilgrimage, you must do the following:
Choose a topic (listed below).
Assume a persona: a football player, a teacher, a lawyer, a secretary, a person of ill repute, a construction worker, etc.. (Perhaps draw upon your own job experiences?)
Include a PROLOGUE in which you introduce the circumstances of the journey and the characters involved (no less than three, no more than five
Write a linking prologue plus a tale by the character. Employ ONE of the multiple types of tales used by Chaucer – i.e. fable, exemplum, sermon, romance, etc. These will of course be a great deal shorter than any of Chaucer’s tales due to space available.
Your tale(s) should have some moral truth, value, or advice to offer.
Edit your work before writing a final draft. You must use appropriate punctuation and grammar. That this is in verse is not an excuse to abandon mechanical accuracy. (You will be required to peer review and submit your reviewer’s critique as part of your final submission.
You will be graded on: how well you adhere to the stated criteria; imagination and creativity; skill; humor; presentation; mechanical accuracy.
Possible themes to consider writing your tale:
Confidence vs. insecurities
Overcoming fears
Appreciation/ gratitude
Acceptance/ tolerance
Kindness
Honesty
Overcoming adversities
Loss of innocence/ Coming of age (Learning about the harsh realities of the world)
Sacrifice (What will you do or say to save/ help someone else?)
Nature vs. nurture
Fall from grace (i.e., opening Pandora’s Box, tasting the forbidden fruit, etc.)
Love (platonic - romantic)
Friendship (How far will you go? Standing up for friends, etc.)
Fate/ destiny (Are you in control of your fate? Is there such a thing?)
Revenge (Good vs. bad outcomes, etc.)
Role of women, minorities, etc.
Choices and possibilities
Guilt vs. forgiveness
Family bond/ loyalty

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

it was a dark night and I was returning back home from work. I was tired and the my only wish was to lay down in my bed at home. my usual route being blocked I had to go through a desserted path . I was moving slowly when I heard a rustle of leaves. as anyone at that moment would do, I ignored it. as I moved forward I had a felling that I was being followed. there was a ghostly silence. maybe it was true ? what shall I do? I am gonna die - these questions appeared in my mind as I moved further . suddenly I thought I had to stop or it would come to my house.

without further thought I stopped . the footsteps behind me also stopped. I had to face it now or later. I turned behind and saw there was no one . I ran as fast as my feet could carry me to home. I heaved a long b breathe when I reached home. the next day I consulted a elderly women in my neighbourhood. that's when I got to know the real story. the road I took was , as believed by all , cursed!. many travellers had fell dead there without any health reasons . the doctors told that they were in perfect health but dead!

i was surrounded by many important people but no one that i knew

the cause was unknown
