Abigail Betty's cousin also wanted to be part of practicing witchcraft and I think that's when her uncle thought maybe she had done something to Betty and he told her to cure her. I believe that the truth about Abigail was that she wasn’t a witch .Betty wanted to do witchcraft . Although Abigail had seemed a little scared .One day both of them had gone to the forest and danced ,they had went to the forest ,because the village people believed that when you dance your dancing with the devil.. A few days later I believe they were asking Abigail and Betty what they were doing there and they had said that Mercy was there too. Mercy supposedly had said that she was not doing anything bad that she was just “looking”at them dance . A few days

Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton, born on August 28, 1774, in New York, New York, was the first native-born American to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. St. Elizabeth grew up in the upper class of society. She was a voracious reader and studied everything from the Bible to modish books.

In every story there is that one character that sticks out among the rest. In Chaucer’s The CanterburyTales, there are many different corrupt and flat out crazy characters. However, The Wife of Bath is one character that stands out the most. She is a strong, sexual being who does not care about obeying the rules. The Wife of Bath speaks highly of herself when it comes to pleasing her man sexually and does not believe that when one marriage ends that is it; she believes that more opportunities open. She marries five men, four of them for money and one for love. The Wife of Bath is not perfect in her tale but she keeps her audience on their toes, she is bold in her tale and stands behind her beliefs.

Shannon Brownlee a writer for The Sacramento Bee states that the obesity problem has to do with the meal sizes of the seller. She says that “When they do well economically, we gain weight” (Brownlee, para. 4). Brownlee is trying to say that whenever people buy more and more fast food, the businesses get paid and the consumer gains weight in an unhealthy way.

When businesses get paid they believe that the consumer wants more so they give what they get and what they give is unhealthy food and what they get is a lot of money. I agree with Shannon Brownlee on how businesses give out unhealthy food and do not care about the consumer. Brownlee is stating

“The Wife of Bath’s Tale” is a frame story in the story “Canterbury Tales,” written by Geoffrey Chaucer and it brings a lot of controversy. In the story, the Knight rapes a young girl and as punishment, is forced to find the answer to what women truly want. The Knight stumbles onto an Old Woman who claims to have the answer to his punishment. The woman agrees to give him her answer so long as he does whatever she wants. As part of the deal, the Knight marries the old woman despite his disgust for her appearance. At the end of the story the Knight accepts the woman for who she is and gives her the choice to be herself, resulting in equality between them. Many readers are quick to find the anti-feminist views, however, the story is much more feminist than they give it credit for. The story is feminist because it gives women the choice to be viewed as more than just objects.
