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

what page of night is the quote There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't lose courage. You've already escaped th
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

<u>page 41</u>

Explanation:

In the book<em> </em><em>"Night" </em>by Elie Wiesel, it tells us part of the life accounts of the experiences of Elie Wiesel and his father in the Nazi concentration camps in Germany from 1944–1945. Although not originally written in English, it was later translated into English.

The full quote from the version translated by Marion Wiesel on page 41 read;

<em>"Comrades, you are now in the concentration camp Auschwitz. Ahead of you lies a long road paved with suffering. Don't  lose hope. You have already eluded the worst danger: the selection. Therefore, muster your strength and keep your faith. We  shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life, a thousand  times faith. By driving out despair, you will move away from  death. Hell does not last forever… And now, here is a prayer, or  rather a piece of advice: let there be camaraderie among you. We  are all brothers and share the same fate. The same smoke hovers  over all our heads. Help each other. That is the only way to survive."</em>
