Entry 4

  For the longest, I dreaded at the thought of writing the in class essay on King Lear. I thought I would be stressed out and struggling to think of what to write next. The essay turned out to be easier than I thought. I really noticed how important and helpful planning out your paper can be and creating a strong thesis statement. Planning prevented me from wasting limited time on plundering on what to write next or simply drifting off into space because I'm unfocused. Creating a strong thesis basically set up my paper and also prevented me from losing valuable time. I was able to finish all of my desired points in a good time frame. As I finished early, I used that time to read back over my paper for any errors whether it was grammatical or syntax. Overall, I'm improving and proud of my progress in writing essays in a limited amount of time.

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...

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.
