... In the Middle English dictionary a pardoner was a seller of indulgences, a rascal, or scoundrel. The Pardoner was a scam artist. He sold relics that were just pig bones and the Virgin Mary’s veil, which was just a pillowcase. Before the Canterbury Tales were written, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote all of his view and opinions of each person down in the Prologue. The area of the Prologue that talks about the Pardoner describes him as a man with “hair as yellow as wax, Hangling down smoothly like a hank of flax.” The Pardoner had a beautiful singing voice, which he used to his advantage by singing loud and merrily in order to get more money fro ...

... deserts the army. Floating down the river with barely a hold on a piece of wood his life, he abandons everything except Catherine and lets the river take him to a new life that becomes increasing difficult to understand.

Lonnie, from "Hoops," was a very good basketball player, and Jesus from "He Got Game," was streetwise and a good player also. They each caught an opportunity to rise abo ...

This story shows that is really does not matter how good or evil you are throughout your life, there will always be things that occur that are never under your control whether they are negative or positive. King Lear's decision was never foreshadowed to have a negative affect on his family or his kingdom.
