I apologize for the length but my recent schedule has only permitted me to post this much.
New Character: A spunky (maybe even promiscuous) old man.
Thesis: Chaucer's purpse in telling the tales is for the purpose of entertaining the reader with satire and humor of the time.
Body 1: The man will tell retell the Nun's Priest's Tale.
-His promiscuous nature will enhance the humor in his "flattery never pays" message.
-Chaucer wrote many tales for humor, entertainment, and this reinforced this.
Body 2: He will tell a more modern version of the tale.
-Chaucer's tales were told to appeal to the time, even those set in ancient times.
Body 3: The telling will be humorous
-Nuff' Said.

Good job choosing a tale we have not read yet as that was one of the requirements. As this is only an outline there is very little I can say about the information. Although this is a good choice for recasting. The thesis could branching off of Chaucer's use of satire could maybe include something about your new character and how through the depiction of him, this can be displayed. The outline, however, does include a brief descriptions of the character's function but lacks how the character relates to the other tales and characters. Overall, I think this is a good start and a good choice of character.
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to read the recasting of the nuns priest tale. i enjoyed it in the book so much XD
ReplyDeleteagain like pharan said, not much to go on, but still i like the overall feel of it. good thesis, useful setup, progressive appeal to it, and you seem to know what youre going to say even if you havent had time to say it yet.
