I agree that students should be allowed in school and that the school itself should not endorse anything religious. If the activity is student led like a club or individual it should be allowed and not looked down up since the whole purpose of the court cases were to let individual students choose what and what not to believe.

I concur with the decision made on Engel v. Vitale concerning school prayer. We must let younger students decide for themselves the religion that they want to believe in and not force or subject other students to certain religions they don't want to believe in. The First Amendment was created to free people from religion and not to "to control, support, or influence" the people of the United State of America towards any one religion. Throughout history, other court cases concerning religion and the schools had many grey areas as nothing is black and white when it comes to the opinions of people. Although religion should not be endorsed in school prayer, we must also make sure that their free speech isn't hindered either.

I agree with your statement in that the tone can be perceived as quite assertive. When she says that she "bears no malice to virginity," the assertiveness and domineering attitude that the author presents for the wife is comprehensive.

I agree with your tone word for the prologue. The tone for her tale can seen as very upbeat and energetic. Another tone that can be seen within the exuberance is a witty tone too. The wife declared that she would use her instruments "as freely as my Maker has sent it." Obviously, the witty and epigrammatic tone can be seen along with the pumped up energy making an exciting and entertaining tone.

In the prologue, Chaucer's tone can be seen as very judgmental. There were many characters that he described cheerfully, others apathetically, and some very harshly. However, he definitely had an opinion about each and every character whether they were "shriven" and "hard of heart" like the friar or chivalrous like the knight.

I agree with Olivia's statement on how Chaucer emphasizes the characters in his tale to show certain characteristics of the Middle Ages. The Knight, like the others, exemplifies the characteristics of loving "chivalry honor, truth, and freedom. All characteristics that are Medieval in nature.

I agree with Jillian in that Chaucer exemplified the attributes of the characters to show the class systems during the Middle Ages. Each person relates to certain types of people during the Medieval Times even if the character is an exaggeration as most of them are. The Monk, exemplifies the religious attitude of monks during that time period. The Monk follows the "Rule of Maurus or Saint Benedict" which tells of an order in which monks should follow.

In the Canterbury Tales, the Medieval Time Period is reflected by the characterizations of the men and women who accompany the narrator on his journey. The Knight, a man described as loving "truth, honor, freedom, and chivalry", embodies chivalrous traits that the Medieval Time frame was commonly known for. Not only the knight, but other members on the journey exhibit traits that are commonly found in the Medieval Times and are feudalistic in nature. The Middle Ages time period of the writing can be seen too by the locations in which the story describes such as Alexandria, England, Prussia, and Latvia. All these locations were prominent and important to the men and women in the feudalistic time period of the Middle Ages.
