The feature of medieval life that is reflected in this excerpt is the acceptance of the Church's authority.
This excerpt is part of "The Pardoner's Prologue" from <em>The Canterbury Tales </em>written by Geoffrey Chaucer. Moreover, it shows the acceptance of the Church's authority in the Middle Ages.<u> During this period, the Church was not only a powerful force but also the dominant institution</u> since it had the power to influence and control every aspect of people's lives. In this excerpt, <u>the narrator refers to the power of members of the Church, priests and clerics, of interdicting someone, which means prohibiting someone from doing holy work. </u>
One naight, on my way home from school my bus broke down as we came to a village, so the bus driver got us a sub bus while we stayed in the tavern with this lady named Esmeralda who fed us mac and cheese. Soon after the sun had completely set and we realized the bus wasn't coming, so the bus driver arranged for us to stay at the Hotel across the street from the tavern. The next day at around noon, the bus had finally arrived, but by that time we'd missed half the school day. Instead of making us go back to school in the same clothes we wore yesterday, the principal granted us all schoolleave to go home early for the day... but the bus broke down again.
