Psalms 13


1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? 
3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, 
4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.  
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. 

6 I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me.

Line 1:  In this line this person wants to see the Lord and seems very anxious and impatient. This person also feels forgotten by the Lord due to he or she not seeing him.
Line 2: This person seems to be in a distraught state. Based on lines one and two, maybe they’re going through triumph in their lives and need the Lord for healing or have called upon the lord but he has not yet answered in the way that they want him to.
Line 3: Healing and faith is needed or they will continue to be in darkness or a distraught state.
Line 4: Without healing from the Lord, the enemies will feel like they have won and therefore will feel like they have defeated this person while their back is against the wall in this point in time.
Line 5: But still, this person has faith and trust in the lord that they will pass through this storm and darkness.
Line 6: This person will rejoice in the lord because he has been good to them and never leaves their side even when it is not clear to them when the Lord has answered their prayers and cries.

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. The small amount of women who did choose to exercise any form of power only did so in church due to the fact that abbesses had seniority over monks in some instances, or if they were queens. 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...
