 The first pilgrim Chaucer describes in the General Prologue, and the teller of the first tale. The Knight represents the ideal of a medieval Christian man-at-arms. He has participated in no less than fifteen of the great crusades of his era. Brave, experienced, and prudent, the narrator greatly admires him.

Answer:

The knight is portrayed as an ideal and noble knight who lives by the code of chivalry. He’s distinguished but not boastful. He has fought in the Crusades and is well traveled. His admirable traits come across in the language Chaucer uses, as in this excerpt:

Though so illustrious, he was very wise

And bore himself as meekly as a maid.

He never yet had any vileness said,

In all his life, to whatsoever wight

He was a truly perfect, gentle Knight.(PLATO)

One major concern for medieval theologians concerning children was______ before they died.
Crank

Answer: if they were baptized.

One of the main beliefs of Christianity is that humans are born sinful, as they have inherited the guilt of the original sin of Eve. When children are born, they need to undergo baptism in order to signal their allegiance to the Church. People who are baptized are accepting the existence of God. When a child dies without being baptized, he cannot join God in heaven. He also will not resurrect in the day of the Final Judgement. This is part of the reason why medieval theologians were so concerned with the baptism of children.

In at least 150 words explain how Eudora Welty uses grotesque imagery to establish the most significant themes of the petrified
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

"The petrified man" by Eudora Welty uses grotesque imagery to establish the most significant themes through the characters of the story, there are two main characters and the whole story goes around the conversation between them, who in a very dark, twisted and unpleasant way criticize and diminish the life of others, pretending to be worrying about them and their whereabouts, all the people that are being cynically analyzed in this piece of work are the clients of Leota, a beautician, her and her customer, Mrs. Fletcher are representations of the most despicable "qualities" of the human beings, the sense of grotesque in the story is created in the atmosphere by the way these two characters interact and how they personalities seem to be built only over darker shades of selfishness, irony, and sarcasm. These characters feel that they are morally superior somehow, which gives them the right to scrutinize the clients' lives

Explanation:

"The petrified man" has not been considered as a beautiful piece of written work for many experts because of it's obscure and despicable nature. For other, the use of this technique represents something worthy of analysis and it in fact became a representative story of the darkness inside of the human soul.

Why should the announcement of a third supply intake for Las Vegas water cause concern?
Sliva [168]

This question is about "Las Vegas Completing Last Straw to Draw Lake Mead Water"

Answer:

The announcement is of concern because it includes drilling activities on the ground, which can cause geological problems that cause unexpected and bad results for Las Vegas and the surrounding region.

Explanation:

It is a fact that the supply of drinking water in Las vegas and surrounding areas is a concern that deserves attention. To address these problems, several supply strategies have been established, however, the third water supply, which is what was discussed in the article, is the one that is of most concern because it involves excavation activities at meters and meters deep.

As we know, excavation activities are dangerous, as they can not only generate geological problems, but also awaken existing problems that will cause more problems to the population.

The following passage is biologist Hope Jahren’s prologue to her 2016 memoir Lab Girl. A prologue is an introduction that provid
bearhunter [10]

Answer: Jahren is a biologist who has a soft spot for leaves, trees and other life giving plant. In Jahren's prologue, she answered people who wanted to know why she didn't study the ocean though she lives in Hawaii. Jahren is concerned about the fate of trees and plants in the world. She believes that a lot of tree are being fell without adequately replacement and that this affects nature.

According to her, each plant or tree that is felled, is an unnecessary death and she doesn't care whether the plants were lacking in one vitamin or whether the plant is big or small. She believes that the first vital step to becoming a scientist is to care, and not necessarily by ones knowledge of biology, physics, or chemistry.

Some rhetorical choices were made when she said "Someone died? and

Maybe I can convince you" while trying to explain why plants should not be unnecessarily killed.
