One way the Parson and the Pardoner differ is the way they would have been described. The way you would describe the Parson would not be the same as the way you would describe the Pardoner. For an example, you would say that the Parson is: A holy-minded man of good renown There was, and poor, the Parson to a town, Yet he was rich in holy thought and work. (Lines 487-489) He knew God’s word well and was able to preach and teach it to parishioners. The Parson is patience in the face of adversity.
Accomplishing your goal can also make someone successful, but it all depends on what type of goals are being shot for. Successful men and women are not always the wealthiest, and most powerful, but live happy and self sufficient lives. In Cannery Row , the main character are successful in their own way which makes them different and unique from each other. Doc is one of the most important character in Cannery Row; he is a good resercher that has no money but has knowledge and knows thing that many people don't. Doc could be the most successful character because he is caring, and has a really good reputation, generous, which leads to the fact that he earns respect from others.
It seems like a ritual or a bed time story for Lennie and it comforts his when something goes wrong. “George’s voice became deeper. He repeated his words rhythmically as though he had said them many times before.” George and Lennie aren’t like many migrant farm workers; they go everywhere together and stay together throughout. “I got you to look after me and you got me to look after you.” They don’t like what they do but it’s the only thing they can do to earn money. “Guys like us guys that like on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world.” But they believe they can be happy and successful not like other workers.
He does not have an epiphany. “The noise lasted several minutes, during which, that I might hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labor and sat down upon the bones” this shows how much of a cold ruthless person Montresor really is by taking satisfaction out of the cry’s and struggles of Fortunato. Fortunato would be the only other character in the story, his name which could mean fortunate, or lucky is a round/dynamic character the narrator describes him as a man to be respected and even feared was also a man who took much pride in his taste of wines, he would be a dynamic character because his attitude changes from the good vibes he gives out when he first sees Montresor at the carnival to fear for his life when Montresor is stacking up the bricks “not the cries of a drunk man” which means he was sober at the time he had begun trapping him in the niche. Fortunato is an addict as all he thinks about throughout the beginning of the play is the amontillado. Fortunato goes through an epiphany when Montresor begins to stack the building stones to keep him in the niche, “I stacked the second tier, third fourth; and then I head the furious vibrations of the chains” realizing that Montresor didn’t need the help of him to distinguish weather or not
Money is not only thing that can make someone happy; it’s the littlest things that can bright up someone’s life, which is what the author shows in I am the Messenger. The desire for prosperity in The Great Gatsby contradicts to the quality of a good human being, which the author expresses. Similarly in the novel I am the Messenger, Ed’s good will leaves a mark on people’s heart as he delivers the messages. Ed finds out that the last three messages are about his closest friends and when he reaches the last he says “I don’t want to waste time. I’ve come so far since the holdup.
Just as the novel mentions, “he spoke as if Daisy’s reaction was the only thing that mattered.” (Fitzgerald, 2001: 192) Gatsby is nimble and ambitious in making money, which shows the “sagacity” of modern people, but towards love he gives us the impression of “a naive young man.” The reader may wonder what makes Gatsby great? Gatsby is great because of his loyalty to love. He has the desire to repeat the past, and the desire for money. For Gatsby, Daisy is the soul of his dreams. He believes he can regain Daisy.
He shows that he is honest when he says, “I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known” (Fitzgerald 64). Although Nick has close friends, he is not completely trustworthy if them. Nick proves that being honest makes him a better friend and a man of good character. Nick also portrays trustworthiness by being honest to Gatsby about Daisy. Although Gatsby needed to leave town, he “couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do” (Fitzgerald 155).
He is a perfect figure in “Canterbury Tales.” He is very conscientious and patient person. Although Chaucer views the Parson as a sinful priest in the 1300’s. If you compare the Friar and the Parson you can not only see the good within the church but also the crooks. The Pardoner is also said to be rich like the Parson. "In one short day, in money down, he drew more than a Parson in a month or two."
“Any man may take as many wives as he pleases, even up to a hundred, if he is able to support them. […] Even if there are as many as ten or twenty of them in one household, they live in concord and unity beyond praise, so that you would never hear a harsh word spoken.” The devoted wives were respected and knew what their responsibilities were. In actuality, Mongol men only took up to four wives, even if they could support a larger amount. This custom was strange in the eyes of the Europeans. Even more peculiar to them was the practice of marrying a cousin.
It is this small amount of money the family depends on, which allows them to be happy and content in their lives, even if they “were not well dressed” and their “clothes were scanty”. Dickens proves a valuable lesson through the Cratchit family and Scrooge’s wealth. He is able to show that money can ensure that you survive, but is not the most important aspect in one’s life. It is the qualities of kindness, joy & being charitable that make life complete. Good rebuttal point Charles Dickens’ novella “A Christmas Carol” presents to readers how the most important things in life are priceless.
