Blog Post Assignment 2

    Reading and editing my classmate's writings as well as my own was a good experience. It made a huge affect on me to hear how we sound. Constructive criticism from the teacher and class made me realize many of my strong areas. I am really good with transition words, grammar, and spelling. I am also good with keeping my writing professional and on task, but there's always room for improvement. While reading my classmate's writings I noticed there were many problems with mechanics and spelling; I don't struggle with those areas too often. One of the few weaknesses of mine is getting my ideas down. I tend to get stuck when it comes to brainstorming. Once I get my ideas down everything practically flows. My action plan to help improve my weakness would be to think harder but smarter and also think outside the box.

    Travia I would also have to agree that editing our classmate's writings was a good experience. The experience was very beneficial to help us be more caution of our mistakes when writing. I would also have to agree that your strengths in writing are your transition words, grammar, and spelling according to your paper that I've recently proofread. I believe your action plan to solve your weaknesses is very helpful. Don't worry Travia I feel that you will overcome this weakness in no time.

Geoffrey Chaucer Summary

  Geoffrey Chaucer, poet and writer, has been known as the father of literature as well as the prime shaper of the English language. He has also been recognized for his achievement of being the greatest poet of medieval England, although, his work is not always understood. Chaucer's poetry also reflects many sources such as: Latin, French, and Italian, and also folk tales, sermons, rhetorical textbooks, and ribald jokes. His poems are narrated by naive persona and often left unfinished which allows the reader to become creative. His use of narrators is also key in his works; Chaucer's attitude can never be depicted because he stands behind his narrators which makes his narrators very effective.

Blog Post Assignment 3

 The Middle Ages was a period of European history from around the fifth century through the fifteenth century. In this period of time, women came second to men in all circumstances. The role of  a woman usually ranged from being a wife, mother, peasant, artisan, and nun. A woman usually married young and the marriage was arranged by her family. Women in the Middle Ages had no direction of life or freedom and her life was often lead by biblical text. For example, writings of Apostle Paul emphasized the ruling of men over women and how women were forbidden from speaking and teaching.

Overall, Medieval England was not a comfortable place for majority of women; Women often did not control the direction in which their lives took, society was dominated by men, and women had no choice but to acce...
