Why was it considered strange that Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in this

English

Since Geoffrey Chaucer lived in the 14th-15th century, the reason why it was considered strange for him to write in Middle English is:

Back in Chaucer's time, French and Latin were the dominating languages, especially when it came to the arts. It was strange, then, for Chaucer to write in English.

  • Geoffrey Chaucer (1343-1400) chose to write "The Canterbury Tales" in Middle English.
  • It is believed that he chose to do so with the purpose of defying the dominance of Latin and French.
  • French and Latin were the languages used in arts, including literature, in the Middle Ages.
  • Thanks to Chaucer, poetry written in Middle English eventually obtained the same popularity as the one in French.

What type of metaphor do bold words represent
Llana [10]

Look at these three sentences:

• She flew past me on her bicycle.  

• Turing was the father of the modern computer.

• He gave me a cold look.

In all these sentences, the word in bold type is not used in its basic or literal meaning – it is used in a metaphorical way.

A metaphor is a type of comparison: when you use a word or phrase metaphorically, you are using a meaning that has developed from the literal meaning and has some of the same features. For example, if you say someone ‘flies past’ on a bicycle or in a car, they are not really flying through the air, but the speed of their movement reminds you of a plane or a bird. This is a normal part of the way word meanings develop, and when a word has several meanings, some of those meanings are usually metaphorical.

Often people take vacations to tropical islands often like the Bahamas.  Although the Bahamas is a wonderful relaxing spot, Bora Bora, Tahiti is a wonderful spot to also vacation at. The waters are clear, and smooth along with a calm wave occasionally. Also a calm ocean smell with a warm sand. Another reason to go to tropical islands is because it is said to make you a happier, calmer, nicer person. Too much stress can cause someone to overthink at work and or school. Another reason is because a hammock is way healthier than a bed! As a book called Back and Bed: Ergonomic Aspects Of Sleeping points out, a hammock means better Ergonomic for your body by distributing your weight more evenly and reducing pressure points.
