Mr. Hall
Due Tuesday, 5 March, at roll call. Please know that “I wasn’t there that day,” “You
didn’t tell me,” “I was supposedly at
a baseball game that in fact was rained out and I should have come to class but
didn’t,” “I was at a UIL event,” “I had a flat tire,” “I don’t have a computer,”
the classic “My printer broke,” and all other pleas, pleynts, and pleadings are
void. This is not a rehearsal, this is
your life.
Your Pilgrimage Through Life
You and some of your favorite (or
favourite) school friends check in at the Holiday Inn in Southwark after
chasing some street criminals who have stolen your camera. During afternoon tea (we call it supper here)
in the dining room you meet a number of other folks who are planning to take a
bus tour to Canterbury next day to visit the site of St. Thomas Becket’s
martyrdom in the cathedral and to shop (lots of lovely shops in
Canterbury). You and your friends are
invited to join the bus tour (paying your fair share, of course). The next morning you walk two blocks to the underground
(subway) station and, minding the gap, tube to Victoria Station. After getting lost in the morning rush, you
find the northeast door and meet your tour group. Everyone is very nice except for the elderly
couple from Spain who complain about everything.
While riding the bus through the little
towns and hop fields of Kent, write an expository essay or perhaps two pages,
employing the MLA format, comparing any one of your friends with any one of the
characters in Chaucer’s “Prologue.” Do
not write anything libelous, slanderous, seditious, blasphemous, naughty, rude,
or accusatory.
