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.

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.

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.

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.
