Answer:
The novelty of the theme and its treatment enthralled the audience.
Explanation:
Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury tales" is a collection of tales narrated by the thirty pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The idea was that each pilgrim will tell four stories, two on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. This was written in Middle English, which made it easier for the common people to understand it.
In these tales, Chaucer used his characters to draw out the issues relating to political, social or even religious themes, uncommon topics for the people of that age to openly talk about. The description of these themes through the tales were true but were not openly pointed out in public by anyone. Special case is the corruption of the church, the poverty all are real life issues that were ignored. Also, the characterization of people from different backgrounds made it even more popular for the common masses can easily relate to them.
Answer:
Enjambed line.
Explanation:
In poetry, an enjambment is a literary device in which there is a disproportion between the syntax and the metric of a verse.
It can easily be recognized as the idea is not fully expressed by the end of a verse. An enjambment breaks the thought in two and it must be continued through the following line.
This literary device was frowned upon by the classics but was kindly welcomed by the romantics due to its strong <em>expressiveness</em>.
The following lines from the text, "How the Spaniards Came to Shung-opovi, How They Built a Mission, and How the Hopi Destroyed the Mission" best shows the narrator's point of view that the Spaniards were trying to change the religion of the Hope people are:
"<span>The missionary did not like the ceremonies. He did not like the Kachinas and he destroyed the altars and the customs. He called it idol worship and burned up all the ceremonial things in the plaza."</span><span>
</span><span>"When this mission was finally built, all the people in the village had to come there to worship, and those that did not come were punished severely. In that way their own religion was altogether wiped out, because they were not allowed to worship in their own way."</span><span>
</span>
The real Dante has uncompromising ideas about religion and human nature.
Hope this helps.
