The character portrayed in these lines is the prioress from the Canterbury Tales. In the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer, the prioress is the picture of contradictions.  Not being what she seems, she is another example of the religious figure. Madame Eglantine is her real name, a main character in the Canterbury Tales. She has one of the long description and the fourth in the list of description. Chaucer describes her to be dainty and had funny habits. Chaucer provides her physical description and that being a religious figure instead of carrying rosary beads with a crucifix, she is very well dressed with a string of coral beads that reads "Amor Vincit Omnia". Her refinement is described as superficial.

Read the excerpt from "It's Only Fair.”
KatRina [158]

The advantage of changing this excerpt to Avery's first-person point of view would be to get more background on why Maritza treats Avery this way.

When we have a different perspective of the story we can have access to much more complete characters this is the real advantage of doing that.

It is not necessary to compare Rosa Parks and Irene Morgan's stories since the characters we are talking about are in fact, Maritza and Avery.

Samuel Johnson was first to point out the similarities in style and content of some poets of the Jacobean and Carolinian periods
Vaselesa [24]
Metaphysical poetry in the seventeenth century broke away from conventions of lyrical poetry. The difference is apparent in the choice of cacophonousimagery...

Johnson put five poets in this category: John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, and Henry Vaughan. However, they never worked as an organized literary movement. They didn't even read each other. It is only today that we can consider them akin.

As for cacophonous imagery, it was one of their foremost characteristics. The word choices and similes would often be shocking and unusual, not just for their own time but even later. For example, comparing two lovers' souls with two compasses in Donne's A Valediction Forbidding Mourning.

What activity helps Francie avoid telling lies?
cupoosta [38]

The activity that helps Francie avoid telling lies is mindfulness. She is the protagonist of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." The book tells the story of Francie from the time she is 11 until she goes to college at 17. Although she struggles with many problems throughout the book (alcoholism, poverty, family problems, etc.) the novel ultimately contains a message of hope. The novel also discusses the dreams of immigrant families in the United States during the early twentieth century.
