Alison's Tale

Alison's Tale
Prologue: Alison was the most beautiful flower one could ever lay upon. She was young and wore wore the finest pieces, and all of the town men wanted her. The Miller was one of those many men, but she was married of course. Her husband was always working and she was always alone.

 Alison was outside on this particular day watering plants in the most appealing clothing to a man's eye, and oh boy were they looking! The Miller was always close by when Alison's husband, David, was not home. And suddenly, he shucked around the corner to get a better look. "Ah!" He whispered to himself as he focused on her. The Miller was not the brightest, cleanest fellow. He was on drugs and he was obviously out of his mind for even wanting Alison, but he had planned and planned on this day to get her anyway. He moved closer and closer to Alison as she continued to water the plants outside of her mansion and sing beautiful light tunes as her golden hair caught drift of the wind. Finally he was close enough to grab her tightly, and he did. Alison shrieked! "You animal!" she screamed. The Miller held her even tighter but furious now. He always wanted what he wanted and when he couldn't have it, he was aggressive and forceful. He demanded sex but she refused. At the same time,  David was arriving home. At an instance, the Miller fled off. From that day, the Miller bashed her and spread rumors of their affair. He told everyone in town how she was the lowest grade of women with no class, but it wasn't true. He was only upset because he was rejected but I guess that's what you do when you can't have what was expected. A faithful woman was always a blessing, and she was.

Entry 5

  My favorite tale from the Canterbury Tales was the Miller's tale. The Miller's tale was very humorous. What made it even funnier was that he was drunk. The humor made the tale not seem boring and dreadful to read. I felt like I got through this tale the fastest because of the humor, it was easy to follow, and simply the best tale. I did not care for the other tales as much due to them not being as funny or interesting. Therefore, I dread reading them and did not have as good as an understanding as I did with the Miller's tale.

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 7

1. In previous pages, Kien could not seem to get his writing together, but now his novel seemed to have its own logic and flow. What do you think caused Kien to be able to write now rather than before? Do you think something inspired him? If so, what? 2. Phan promised that he'd go back to assist the saigonese that he shared the crater with, but it started to rain and darkness fell. Therefore, he was not able to locate him. Have you ever been promised something and that promise wasn't fulfilled? How did it make you feel? 3. Phan says that whenever he sees a flood he thinks of his cruel stupidity of how he left the saigonese to suffer. Have you ever came across anything that reminds you of something in your past? 4. Would you rather prolong the life of a injured person or kill them if they asked you to. Why? 5. On page 86, it says that Kien's mouth was dry and his breath was foul. What could you conclude about Kien? 6. "Dying and surviving was separated by a th...
