The Pardoner’s Tale.
The Pardoner's Tale is about a group of young Flemish people who go drinking together. They hear about a friend who was killed by Death, so in their drunkenness they decide to find and kill Death for revenge. An old man directs them to a grove where they find a stash of gold instead of Death. Greed and distrust take over as each plots to kill the others for a greater share of the gold. They draw lots to send one for supplies, and he buys poison to use on the others. But when he returns, the others have turned on each other as well, and all three die next to the gold they coveted.

This document provides a summary and analysis of how indigenous peoples have historically been portrayed in documentary films from a Western perspective. It discusses how films present stereotypical views of "the Other" as primitive, less civilized, and disconnected from modernity and history. Specific films analyzed include Nanook of the North, Cannibal Tours, and The Hunters, which depict indigenous groups like the Inuit and Bushmen as living simply, in harmony with nature, and ignorant of Western technology. The document asserts that such portrayals were influenced by ideologies like social Darwinism and served to define the modern Western self in opposition to a romanticized primitive other. It argues films offer statements about how Westerners conceptualized and differentiated themselves from indigenous
Pardoner's tale 2012
The Pardoner's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer tells the story of three young men who go searching for Death after he kills their friend. They meet an old man who tells them they will find Death under an old tree. When they arrive, they find gold coins instead and become consumed by greed. The men hatch a plan to kill each other for the gold. Ultimately, all three men die as a result of their avarice and desire for the coins. The overarching themes are that the love of money is the root of all evil and that people will reap what they sow.
Sleepy hollow
This document is the first chapter of the short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by Washington Irving. It introduces the setting of Sleepy Hollow as a quiet, rural valley settled by Dutch colonists. It describes the village of Tarry Town and the surrounding area, known for its strange sights and superstitious folklore, including the legend of the Headless Horseman who is said to ride through the Hollow searching for his lost head. It also introduces the story's protagonist, Ichabod Crane, a lanky schoolmaster who comes to teach in Sleepy Hollow.
Mortal To Immortal
The document describes the futile attempts of the narrator's body parts to obey their commands to serve humanity, pursue adventure, listen to nature, etc., as each part remains distracted or indulgent. However, before the narrator can perceive anything or issue further commands, their heart has already begun bonding with love, burgeoning with creative freshness, and transforming all mortals into immortals through omnipresent friendship.

Letters from an American Farmer by Michel Guillaume Jean de Crèvecœur provides a perspective on American life in the late 18th century through a series of letters. The letters celebrate the American Dream and idealized vision of America as a land of opportunity but also showcase Crèvecœur's anti-slavery views. One letter contrasts the festivities in Charleston with the unseen misery of slaves who endure hardship, torture, and incessant labor. While the chosen race lives happily, the unfortunate slaves toil under a scorching sun without proper food or drink. Another letter establishes that the writer is a simple farmer, not an expert, who will share his spontaneous impressions of each subject through these letters.

Gulliver
Swift uses Gulliver's voyage to Brobdingnag to satirize and critique human nature and society. Gulliver finds himself dwarfed by the inhabitants of this land, giving him a tiny perspective that strips away the pretenses and grandeur of human affairs. When Gulliver describes gunpowder and cannons to the King of Brobdingnag, hoping to impress him, the King is instead horrified by the destructive power of these weapons and refuses to adopt such technologies, showing how perspectives can differ greatly on issues depending on one's frame of reference.
Neoclassical ii content and excerpts
The document discusses two satirical works from the 18th century Enlightenment period: Voltaire's 1752 short story "Micromégas" and Jonathan Swift's 1729 essay "A Modest Proposal". "Micromégas" uses visitors from other planets to satirize and comment on western culture, employing a common technique of the time. "A Modest Proposal" sarcastically suggests that the poor in Ireland sell their children as food to criticize British policies and attitudes towards the poor in Ireland. Both works effectively used satire and irony to critique society and politics during this age of increased questioning of established beliefs.

Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn?t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I .

Darkest assassin a lords of the underworld novella the by gena showalter pdfr...
Fox, an immortal assassin, has been possessed by the demon of Distrust. During a mission to help her friend Galen, she went into a trance and killed 10 innocent demon assassins known as Sent Ones. Plagued by the demon's laughter and whispers in her mind telling her to kill, she realizes she can no longer be trusted and decides she must leave Galen for his safety. When hands grab her shoulders, she fears it's an enemy but discovers it's only Galen. The demon continues manipulating her thoughts.
INTRODUCTION Hans Ckristian Andersen Cruelty and violen.docx
INTRODUCTION:
Hans Ckristian Andersen
Cruelty and violence have often been seen as the signature of German
fairy tales, but P. L. Travers, the British writer who created Mary Pop-
pins, found the Grimms' tales downright tame by comparison to the
stories composed by Hans Christian Andersen:
How much rather would I see wicked stepmothers boiled in o i l -
all over in half a second—than bear the protracted agony of the
Little Mermaid or the girl who wore the Red Shoes. There, if you
like, is cruelty, sustained, deliberate, contrived. Hans Andersen lets
no blood. But his tortures, disguised as piety, are subtle, often
demoralizing.1
Travers's objection, framed as a protest against the duration and func-
tion of the punishment, fails to make a more important point about
the target of torture. While the Grimms may boil stepmothers in oil or
send them down hills in barrels studded with nails, they rarely allow
children to endure torture. Andersen, by contrast, promotes what many
readers might perceive as a cult of suffering, death, and transcendence
for children rivaled only by what passed for the spiritual edification of
children in Puritan cultures.
Nowhere is the effort to celebrate the virtues of physical distress and
spiritual anguish more pronounced than in " T h e Little Match Girl," a
story with remarkable staying power. Hardly a year goes by without a
new American edition, in large format, with lavish illustrations, clearly
intended to appeal to children and often issued in the holiday season.
Yet this is a tale hardly designed to buoy spirits. T o the contrary, An-
dersen strains his verbal resources to construct a scene of abject suffer-
ing. T h e "hungry and shivering" [233] heroine in the story's title is not
only subjected to freezing temperatures, she must also witness the gay
festivities around her (lights shine through the windows). Although she
has a home (wind whistles through its cracks), she dares not return to
it, for she has not earned a single penny and her father is sure to beat

her. Punctuated with increasingly urgent reports of the dropping tem-
perature, Andersen's narrative builds to a climactic finale in which the
little match girl is embraced by her dead grandmother ("the only one
who had been kind to her" [234]).
Just what is it that compels us to read to children a story that cul-
minates in a "little dead body" [ 2 3 4 ], a girl "frozen to death" [234]?
William Bennett gives us one answer in the caption that introduces the
story in his best-selling Book of Virtues: " T o feel another's anguish—
this is the essence of compassion. Here is a Hans Christian Andersen
masterpiece, a simple, tragic story that stirs pity in every c.
