Class:
Today began with a very touching story related by Ciera about a father's love within a storm. Out of pure curiousity, who would you have saved? (Sadly to say, I would have chosen my own son)
Next we stepped to Bonny Barbara Allan and discussed how lovesick Sir John Graeme died with Barbara Allan to blame. She had been ignored by him before and was not ready to say I love you. Thus his death also broke her heart and she died the next day with their true love joining together in death. Nice story to read just before Valentine's day.
Now on to the morality play named Everyman! Reading about how life is short and every man eventually dies is a good reminder about living our lives. We will not take Fellowship, Kindred, Cousin, Goods, Strength, Discretion, Beauty or Knowledge to our graves but only Good Deeds. Remember to complete the 10 questions on page 121 if you have not already done so.
Homework:
~ Read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (pg 89) - We will be discussing it TOMORROW.
~ Quiz on Beowulf, The Medieval Period, Canterbury's Tale and Pardoner's Tale is TOMORROW. - all multiple choice
~ Canterbury Assignment due MONDAY
~ Bonus presentation LATEST next FRIDAY
Kharis is on devotions for tomorrow!
Blessings,
Kathleen Lieuson
