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).

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:

Appreciation/ gratitude
Acceptance/ tolerance
Kindness

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?)

1. Write a four paragraph literary essay in response to the following question. Be sure to include a thesis statement in your in
Aloiza [94]

We can determinate in both stories that definitely the outside conditions can determinate and influenciate the protagonists decisions and the ways they finally choose for the rest of their lives.

<em>Barrio boy </em>and <em>No gumption </em>have a common point: the external conditions are  extremely unfavorable for life development of the main characters: in Galarza´s tale, the family had to emigrate to another country due to violence generated for revolution, and in the case of Baker´s autobiobraphy is the big depression the main reason which his mother searched a job as a newspapers seller.

Even we can find a very clear difference between stories: In Galarza´s story, the main character found a real interest and genuine curiosity about his fate, the fact to constantly traveling and face another cultures; while in Baker´s tale, show us a kid totally unhappy with his job that confirm us an evident lack of interest for the one.

Finally we can highlight that, in <em>barrio boy</em>, constantly travelling and the workers world contact and their daily live give to the author the opportunity to become in an union worker and in that way fell himself identified with their cause; In <em>No gumption </em>the author when he finally found out he is not a good newspapers salesman, not even care to try it to be a good one, find the way to begin to write and finally realized he is a good writer.
