The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is a group of stories where pilgrims tell tales during their journey to a holy shrine in Canterbury. There are 29 pilgrims but the first two pilgrims to tell tales are the knight and the miller. The miller practically mirrors the knight’s story. The miller’s tale uses elements similar to the knight’s tale but it corrupts those same elements by mimicking them. The miller’s tale and the knight’s tales are very different although they have some similarities.

You ask me what parallels there are between the play The Crucible and the event The McCarthy Era. There were many parallels throughout the whole play.

I found many of the topics discussed in Becoming a Learner useful‚ but the things I found most useful were how most college students go into college and how it is wrong.

Talking about this he says‚ “The problem with this conversation is that it can turn education into an obligation instead of an opportunity” (Sanders 26). I can relate to this because many times I have thought that college

In the beginning of McCarthyism‚ Republican Joseph R. McCarthy had no intentions on being truthful when it came to politics. After my reading‚ I found that Mr. McCarthy took advantage of an opportunity at the cost of other communist dignity. The McCarthyism began in the 1950’s when information was given to Mr. McCarthy by the FBI and the information was used against others.

The McCarthy Witch Hunts When most people come across the term‚ witch hunts‚ they have the common propensity to imagine Satanism‚ witches brewing magical potions‚ and the Salem Witch Trials.
