Ok.
So TurnItIn peer reviews are due by Friday, so get those in.
I’m going to post all of my notes that I took today on the Canterbury Tales presentations, so here they are, starting with the Skipper.
Skipper
The Skipper’s counterpart would be a Sailor.
He wore a woolen gown, a dagger on a lanyard around his neck, and he had a dark tan.
His deadly sin was wrath, and he was a negative character, with a barge, a sinking vessel, a dagger, and a wine bottle on his coat of arms.
Doctor
The Doctor’s counterpart would be a doctor.
He was a health nut, loved gold, and didn’t read the bible.
His deadly sin was wrath, and he was a negative character, with a stethoscope, a red cross, and an apple on his coat of arms.
The Cook
The Cook’s counterpart would be Emeril Lagasse.
He had an ulcur on his knee, could roast, broil, and fry, and he stood alone.
He commited no deadly sins, was a neutral character, and was represented by a frying pan, some almonds, and a red circle that signified his ulcur.
Wife of Bath
The Wife of Bath’s counterpart would be a porn star. According to Chris and Ericka.
She was partially deaf, had gapped teeth (which was considered to be a symbol of beauty) and was very social/talkative.
Her deadly sins were lust, wrath, and greed, she was a negative character, and had a broken heart, a rose, and a map on her coat of arms.
The Parson
The Parson’s counterpart would be a priest.
The Parson was generous, intelligent, caring, and noble.
He commited no deadly sins, was a positive character, and was represented by a cross, a sheep, and the colors white and gold.
The Plowman
The Plowman’s counterpart would be a farmer.
He was kind, a hard worker, charitable, pure of heart, and God was dominant in his life.
I didn’t write any deadly sins down for him, so I don’t think he commited any, and was probably a positive character. He was represented by a heart, the sun, water, a red cross, and the colors white and gold.
The Miller
The Miller’s counterpart would be a boxer, or some sort of fighter.
He was broad, had a hood of blue, a white coat, “won the ram” at any wrestling show, was strong, big, and dishonest.
His sins were sloth and greed, he was a negative character, and was represented by a wrestler, the color yellow, and a bear? I think I wrote bear. I hope that’s right.
The Manciple
The Manciple’s counterpart would be a businessman.
He was smart with his money, illiterate, debt free, competetive, and a leader of something but they changed the slide too soon so I couldn’t see what it was.
His sin was pride and a fist with lightning behind it, money, and a book of knowledge represented him.
I’M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
The Reeve
His counterpart would be a… I didn’t put anything
He was old, choleric, thin, and sickly.
His sin was greed, and an eye, some gold coins, a greedy guy, an hour glass, and a black sheep represented him.
Summoner
The Summoner’s counterpart would be a bounty hunter? Every slide title ended with a question mark.
The Summoner was an official in an ecclesiastical court, one of those people that goes around and serves people with court papers. He also collected fines for immoral behavior and was a deciever? repulsive? and a liar?
His deadly sins were gluttony and greed, he was a negative character, and was represented by a bug, a tornado, the theatrical happy/sad faces, and a snake.
The Pardoner
The Pardoner’s counterpart would be a priest.
He was a church official, had hair as yellow as wax, was bald and had big eyes, and was very concerned with fashion.
His sins were pride and greed, he was a negative character, and he was represented by a cross, money, a flag with the Pardoner’s face on it, and the color yellow.
