The women in medieval times have little to no role in the male dominated society. The women of this time had to know their place in society. They were expected to support their husbands and to do their daily work. Women had a lot of responsibilities towards their families. In the villages, the women would do the same work as men, but they would be payed less. For example, For reaping, a man could get 8 pence a day. For the same task, women would get 5 pence. For hay making, men would earn 6 pence a day while women got 4 pence, but the women could not complain about this because they lived in a male dominated society. 90% of them lived in villages ,so they had to do some kind of farm. In conclusion, life in the middle ages was full of misery.

Geoffrey Chaucer Summary

    Geoffrey Chaucer was one of the rare poets who were admired greatly by his fellow poets, critics, and the public. His poetic talents and his understanding of human diversity was very popular. Sometimes the praise Chaucer received was misinformed. They,inaccurately, called him "the Father of English" and the prime shaper of the English language. When in fact, the English language had a long rich history before Chaucer was even born. His work was also seen as a renaissance ,of sorts, of how humanism works in the modern world. His work also develops from french influence, Italian tendencies, and English realism. His works are filled with variety that comes from many different cultures. Chaucer is a poet that takes the literature from many different cultures and their very different writing styles and brings them together to create his own very unique and diverse writing style.

Question:  My name is Grant and I am a teacher at a black children's school at the church. I have a problem and I do not know how to handle it.  My auntie's friend Miss Emma nephew Jefferson just got sentenced to death for the crime of killing Mr.Grope, but in the limited amount of time that he has left they want me to teach how to be a man because during his trial they kept comparing him to a hog, but he is on the floor at acting like one and i don't know why he acting like this and I don't want to make Miss Emma sad by telling her the truth about how he acted. I don't want to deal with this situation, but I have been manipulated into by miss Emma and my auntie and I don't want to deal with the humiliation this puts me through by going through all my stuff and paying me down which makes me feel like a slave being inspected. How do I handle the situation?Why do you think Jefferson is acting like a hog. How do I make Jefferson stop acting like a hog? How do I teach him how to be a man? And what to do I tell Miss Emma about what happened today?

chapter 3-4 Questions

1. Henri Pichot's insistence that Jefferson was guilty could redirect the plot by showing the view the readers the view of a outsider and could also show the view of a white person's perspective on  Jefferson's "crime".

2. He means she is looking at him and talking to him but she is really thinking about Jefferson and the how he was degraded at the trial. She also tries to make him feel guilty by saying Grant doesn't have to go.

3. The back door symbolizes the place where they had no freedom. It is also a bad memory of harder time that they probably don't want to relive. the use of the back door signifies that they are lesser and they deserve the use of the front.

4. she reminded of all the things she did for his family. She felt like he owed for all the things she did for him in the past.

 Ch. 4

1. It so the defender's true feelings abut Jefferson and his true position in the trial because if he was really trying to defend him why compare him to hog when you have a slaughter house in town. the hog comment would remind the jury of the SH which would cause them to think of how hogs need to be slaughtered. 

2. He wants to leave because he feels that all there is to there is live and die, but something holds him back. his love for Vivian if it wasn't for her he would have been gone.  

Martin Luther King Rhertorical Analysis

      Martin Luther King Jr. used parallelism numerously in his speech. For example, he keeps repeating the phrase "We can never be satisfied...". He keep saying this phrase to emphasize the fact African Americans can never be truly satisfied until they had the freedom to make their choices and the rights all Americans our entitled in accordance to our laws. Another example is the phrase "Let freedom ring from...". This show hope and belief that their will be freedom for every man, woman, and child all across America. Dr. King's use of parallelism shows the audience his conviction to the cause and his belief of freedom for everyone.   
       Dr. King also used pathos throughout his entire speech. An example would be the phrase"We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their adulthood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "For Whites only". This pulls on his audience emotions because most of the parents did not want their kids to go through the same humiliation they did. Furthermore, he goes on to state that "I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations." he then goes on to state some of the trials they went to get there. That caused four emotional reactions pride, for overcoming those trials, anger, for having to go those trials in the first place, guilt, for causing the Blacks to go through such trials, and hope for better future. 

Introduction 2017

my name is Faith Harris. I am 17 years of age and my birthday is on January 21, 2000. I like to read, listen to music on YouTube, and hangout with my family and friends. I am currently attending B.C Rain high-school. I am a junior and I am currently taking math, English AP, psychology, and AP history. I plan to become either a chef or a psychiatrist in the future. I think Martin Luther King Jr. achieved his dream of peace and freedom because even-though it is not perfect blacks and white can interact with each-other, women have rights, and people have the freedom to be themselves.
