Reading Notes Part A: Canterbury Tales

Man Reading Canterbury Tales

I chose Canterbury Tales this week to do my reading notes over and hopefully also my story this week! The reasoning behind this selection was due to the overview about the tales. In this overview, it talks about how the Canterbury Tales is a group of tales told by seven pilgrims from that time. Each pilgrim gives count of different stories in a contest to see who can tell the best story. The main points that reel me into the stories are how each one has a very great and prominent climax such as in The Wife of Bath's Tale :Unknown Bride. The rising action in this story this makes us, the audience, sit on edge and eager to keep reading on what is to come. Then once we do find out what is happening, it contains such humor and twist that we are left feeling dumbfounded on the action! That specific trait of a humored plot twist makes the stories that much better. Also the ability of the writing to keep a sort of humor with the character's being drunk in The Pardoner's Tale: The Reveler's, throughout all trials the characters are experiencing, such as death is amazing. All of the above factors are what I hope to establish in this week's story!

Pomsky  By Kaelin Tully  Hi guys, I’m Crystel Fields! I am from Tulsa, Oklahoma and currently a super-senior (last year…woo!) majoring in Microbiology. I know what you are wondering...“Whoa, are you Pre -Med or something?”, yes I am! I chose my major not only because of it having a vast majority of the classes need to apply to medical school, but because I truly find it interesting. I love microscopic work and being able to identify what a certain bacterium is. Furthermore, I also really enjoy having the ability to work through and diagnose patients with various conditions like in a class I am currently taking called Medical Microbiology. I hope to go on to medical school within a year to become a surgeon, not sure on specific practice yet. Anyways, enough about school ha-ha, in my free time I like to do a little of everything: hangout with friends, read, craft, and of course attend OU football games! My time with friends could be spent doing anything from just staying inside

Lion Attack There were a group of women whom seeked out roots, herbs, and other wild food. On day, on a trip home they became hungry and decided to eat something from the fields. They noticed that a woman's herbs were particularly good while all of the others' were not. The woman, who had picked all the delicious herbs and food, over heard the other women talking about her. They made her throw away her wonderful herbs which really saddened her. She decided that she wasn't going to listen to them and ran into the woods where she came upon a hare. "Give me some water that I may drink", she requested of the hare. The hare responded that he had borrowed the cup from his uncle lion and she could not drink from it. Once again she asked only to be met with the same reply. At this point she was pretty frustrated and thought what kind of hare has an uncle lion. Therefore, she snatched the cup away and teased the little rabbit claiming how she would not be scare
