.... very long and in depth, whereas the clerk delves right into his story. In fact he is told by his colleagues to "put things plainly"(321) and not to "tell a tale to send us all asleep"(321).

.... other divine. Two parts that mixed in different portions depending on a person. Charity was a human virtue that the Church encouraged. People believed that if one does something good, he will be rewarded by G-d. Many people did meaningful, charitable things out the goodness of their hearts, but others had done it for other reasons. Those reasons included making money from people's suffering and giving to charity because someone told them to do so, rather than from the goodness of their hearts or to ease the suffering of others. Chaucer plays off both of these parts of charity in his portraits to show how they can be combined different .....

.... the harvest was always worse than they expected. Even if they had a great harvest on the cocoons, there would not be enough people to spin the silk. They were never be able to get out of debt.

Just around the same period of time, he has been encouraging the peasants for abandoning the worship .....

In contrast, the Ibo have various gods who they worship. The conversation between Mr. Brown, a Christian missionary in the village of Umuofia, and Akunna, a member of Umuofia, explains the Ibo religion very well. Akunna said that the Ibo believe in one supreme God also, but they call him Chukwu because “he made all the world and the other gods.� Mr. Brown made the comment that the Ibo worship carved wood and Akunna replied by saying,�The tree from which it came was made by Chu .....
