ESSAY Choose ONE from Beowulf and ONE from Canterbury Tales and write an essay in the
format: ANT (intro where you have a thesis that includes exact wording from prompt); At least 2
body paragraphs, which you cannot use your book for because you should have an outline. Body
paragraphs should be in the format: TEA-topic sentence, evidence, analyze evidence. No
conclusion necessary-JUST restate your thesis in words a little different from before.
1. How does Beowulf fit the definition of an epic? Be sure to define an epic, and mention
Beowulfs context in Anglo-Saxon society, the Anglo-Saxon virtues and the characteristics of an
epic hero.
2. Choose a dichotomy that is present throughout Beowulf and explain its significance to
each of the three battles. An example is good/evil -clearly, Beowulf fights for good and
Grendel, his mother and the dragon for evil. Are you sure that the dragon really fights for
evil? What symbols, allusions and images connect Beowulf with good and his opponents
with evil? Other ideas are: light/dark, heaven/hell, powerful/weak, brave/fearful.
3. Consider the many characterizations the men and women associated with the church. From
these portraits, what conclusion might you draw about Chaucer's attitude toward the church
and/or religious practitioners? Write an essay in which you present your conclusion and support
it with evidence from the Prologue.
4. How does literature shape or reflect society? Based on "The Wife of Bath's Tale," is the Wife of
Bath a modern woman? How well would she fit in twenty-first century America? Do her views of
the role of women in society match those of most women today? How would today's men regard
her views? In an essay, explore these questions. Give at least two examples from "The Wife of
Bath's Tale" to support your opinions.

hello,

answer: now it would take me a lifetime to do this problem for you but what i can do is guide you, first you will need to create your own sketch of the following items they have selected.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

answer: buck is a dog living a charmed life on the estate of judge miller, during the time of the klondike gold rush in 1897. he is the king of all the animals on the estate and as such enjoys special privileges, such as the run of the estate and the admirable position of being the judge's favorite dog.

this all ends the day he accompanies manuel on a walk through the orchard to a flag station, where manuel sells him to a stranger. manuel sells buck, because he has gambling debts he needs to pay and a family to support.

this one act changes buck's life irrevocably. it is the catalyst for the rest of the story about buck and his transformation from domestic pet to wild animal.

explanation: read thoughroly ! and u will find your answer and the mean time i will be keeping my eye on you !
