The last reading we had was from the Canterbury Tales. I
have never read this before, but I actually like it. I found the prologue to be
very interesting. Chaucer described each individual using exaggeration and humor,
as we discussed in class. Some were fat and some were ugly. There was a thief
and a greedy person. The list goes on and on. I love the satire that he uses.
It makes reading more enjoyable. The detail that he gives about each person
also helps me visualize the character. Let’s be honest, I normally don’t catch
on to the readings that we are assigned because I get lost and confused, but
this one is actually cool to me. I really
enjoyed this reading and the group activity that we did in class. I hope that
we do more stuff like this. Woo!
I commented on Emily L.’s
Chaucer is very entertaining and the actual tales of the characters are just as entertains as their descriptions. I have read this before and it never gets old! So funny!
