Chaucer Parody

Chaucer Parody: The General Prologue Here begins the Tales of Bama Bound Orientation. Beginning in May when High Schools begin to grace seniors with the sweet ceremony of graduation and each student has declared and committed to their future universities. When high school principals bid their seniors adieu and their caps have been thrown; they go on trips to these universities in places near and far. Of those places is in the state of Alabama, and new students make their way to Tuscaloosa, to seek a higher education and help from those upperclassmen who volunteer as Avanti orientation leaders to guide students on their upcoming college years. One day, during this month of May, I myself was going on this trip to orientation. As I waited in the lobby of the Ferg, I was called into my small group session, it happened that in my group were seven other students who were all joined together by the number on our name tags, two. All of the students were freshmen, coming to The University of Alabama for the first time, and when the group leaders rounded us together, we all conversed as we walked to Gorgas 205 to begin our orientation journey. While we had the time, I studied each if the students who would become my future classmates one by one. I think it is only appropriate for me to take the time to describe them too you. The impression they gave, where they came from, and how they were dressed. I will begin with the football player. There was a football player who was recruited by Nick Saban himself and was a worthy player, strong, fast, and very sportsmanlike. He had lead his high school to a state championship three years in a row, and was recruited by every school from the north to the south, but it was no surprise he chose Alabama. He was regarded by ESPN as the top college freshmen player, and had many times made national news for his achievements. He worked to defend Alabama football in the preseason and was a crucial player in the Ole Miss and Louisiana
