The Color Purple review

  The Color Purple is one of the best novels I’ve ever read. I am glad that I had the opportunity to read the written work instead of solely watching the film. The novel, in my opinion, is better than the film. The film and novel are both great, but the novel grasped my attention more. I also noticed that the film left out some important scenes compared to the novel. The book also teaches many lessons and contains many important themes. What I grasped the most from the novel was a sense of self love. I admire the fact that I was able to watch Celie evolve to a stronger person who learned to love herself and maneuver through her past trauma.

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.
