Harry Baily is the lead pilgrim and is identified as "the host," states that in order to win the contest the pilgrim must tell “tales of best sentence and moost solaas,” this means that the pilgrim which tells the tale with a moral lesson and must be entertaining to the group during the few days that it took to make their way from London to their destination (800). Chaucer was unable to finish his one hundred twenty tales he originally planned one writing and only completed twenty-four. The most noticeable of these twenty-four tales belong to two of the most beloved pilgrims by his readers and Chaucer himself. Even though "The Pardoners Tale" was entertaining and moral "The Wife Of Baths Tale" is obviously the more moral and entertaining of the two tales.

The plot begins with a very traditionally: “Once upon a time,” being such a vague setting of time and place most children would be able to follow the plot. Anstey (2002, pp. 445-457) reported “All texts are consciously constructed and have particular social, cultural, political, and economic purposes” In the narrative ‘Baby Boomsticks’ the author has written for a universal audience, both boys and girls of all cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and environmental surroundings. The economic purpose of Margaret Wilds literature is to be entertaining, with an underlying theme portraying a gentle message to her reader to be tolerant and accepting of differences in others (Wild, 2003). Wild`s book has a didactic purpose to celebrate differences and in doing so addresses bullying in the current society.

At the age of three; her father, Franklin Tarbell, moved his family to a small oil town in Rouseville. There, Ida spent her childhood attending Mrs. Rice’s home school and playing amongst the oil derricks.

Instead of simply observing and playing with household objects as they did during the first year, children start babbling into the phone and brushing their hair. They particularly enjoy spending time with older children, and imitate the behaviors they observe. Toddlers will also imitate actions they see other people do, including people they see on television. Portia Gerber, my tiny, bright-eyed one year old niece is known for copying everyone around her. Although she is only about three feet tall, she has quite a big personality.
Journal This week in Acting for non-majors was the week I had to perform my monologue for the second time in front of the entire class. I had prepared for the past four weeks so I wouldn’t have stage fright, and up until the point of standing in front of the class I was confident.

The use of the day planner promotes self-motivation because the students are learning how to manage their time in school and at home to be able to complete their homework.
