In telling about the knight’s travels, the Wife of Bath explains some of the answers the knight hears along the way. One answer

he hears is that women like to be thought "discreet / And secret… / Never betraying things that we are told." The Wife of Bath goes on to say about that answer: "But that’s not worth the handle of a rake; / Women conceal a thing? / For Heaven’s sake!" What does the Wife of Bath’s response reveal about her?

Explanation:

The Wife of Bath is a wise and bold woman. She can answer to a king and disagree with the statement someone told him. This statement can not be taken for granted. She reconsiders the describing of women as discreet and secret. She answers from her perspective and insight. Her answer classifies her as a woman who is wise, smart and resourceful. She describes women opposite from the pronounced. The Wife of Bath emphasizes the claim that women can not hide or conceal a thing. This explains her’s opinion and belief about women. She does not defend them, she reveals the truth about them, and it shows that she is equal to both genders.

Take a position in the debate over the literary canon and support it. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
White raven [17]

It is known as a literary canon to the set of classic works that are part of high culture. These works, either because of their formal characteristics, their originality or their quality, have managed to transcend times and borders, becoming universal and always valid.

The criterion for choosing the works of the literary canon should be aesthetic excellence, but this concept is very subjective because what a person can consider attractive another person may find boring. On the other hand, those who limit themselves to consume the books established in the list of the canon lose the opportunity to know an endless number of works that could please them more, and even contribute more to them intellectually and emotionally.

It is true that it is important for students to know classical works of literature such as the odyssey, the divine comedy or more recent works as a hundred years of solitude, however, it is necessary not to marginalize other literary works equally good and profitable for students only because they are not on the list of the literary canon.

The current society has evolved, we no longer have the same thought that we had at the time when the classic works were written. A clear example of this is the role played by women in today's society, the importance of women was a taboo subject and little mentioned in many of the works that are in the list of the literary canon by which many schools are governed, and this can lead to students not exploring and understanding this important topic.

In conclusion, the literary canon is a list of classical works because of their importance at the time they were written and therefore it is important that students know them, because through these works they can understand the behavior and thought that people had in other times.  However, it is equally important that students read recent works of current interest that allow them to compare current society with the old one, and the evolution that has occurred in the literature.

Burka [1]

Answer:

A. Captain Beatty repeatedly taunts Montag and pushes Montag to kill him.

C. Captain Beatty had found the listening device in Montag’s ear and was going to track it back to Faber. Killing Captain Beatty was the only way that Montag would protect Faber.

Explanation:

The answer wouldn't be "B," because Faber and Montag don't actually plan on killing Captain Beatty. The answer also wouldn't be "D," because Montag does somewhat hate Captain Beatty's cruelty, but he hasn't been looking for an opportunity to kill him.

The answer would be "A," since Captain Beatty does tell Montag to kill him. The answer would also be "C," since Montag was afraid Captain Beatty was going to kill Faber when he found out where he was living, since he was helping Montag in collecting books.
