(2) Are these different attitudes an implication of how Chaucer viewed marriage?Thesis: Discussing these attitudes of marriage and additional attitudes found in The Wife of Bath’s, the Clerk’s, and the Franklin’s tales, and comparing and contrasting each, will reveal Chaucer’s intended moral concerning happiness in marriage, a review of his alleged raptus, and give inference to Chaucer’s personal views of how he believed marriage should be.Part 2:In my paper, I plan to discuss these different attitudes or views of marriage according to who is telling each story, and I plan to compare and contrast these attitudes, exploring the similarities and differences of each view according to the backgrounds and motivations of each narrator (character) of the different stories in The Canterbury Tales as written by Chaucer in each of their prologues, and according to the different characters of the stories told. I also would like to explore what these attitudes imply about Chaucer’s personal views of marriage, if they do so at all.

Select a quote from the short story you will be using for your fiction essay, and then write it here as if you were putting it into your paper. Remember, there are three things you need to do when incorporating a quote into an essay:1. Introduce it (with a small introductory phrase or by connecting it to the sentence before with a colon).2. Cite it (using an MLA in-text citation with the author’s last name and page # or just page #).3. Discuss its relevance. (A quote is just like a plot point–you must explain it’s significance to your reader.)

DQ 1: Provide an example of a project, assignment, or in-class activity that could be used as a means of employing multiple assessments of ELLs.

The National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 banned the buying and selling of human organs. However, the law still allows people to be compensated for “donating” blood, sperm, or eggs. Reproduction clinics often direct their marketing at female college students who are likely to have the traits desired by couples seeking a donor egg, and who might also have the financial burdens that come with being a college student. Advocates of compensating egg donors point to how these women are helping couples achieve their dreams of having a family. Those who are opposed to it, on the other hand, argue that these companies are exploiting women who are desperate financial need and that they are doing so without the donors fully understanding the pain and risks involved in the procedure.Do you think that paying women for their eggs should be legal? Why or why not?What moral responsibility do such clinics have for caring for donors who have complications from the procedure years down the road?Should companies that are targeting college students for such procedures be allowed to market directly to them with flyers, emails, or ads in student newspapers? Why or why no
