What is an effect of Chaucer's decision to use pilgrimage Ashley the central premise for The Canterbury Tales?
O A. it sets up an expectation that exempla, which were common in didactic medieval literature, will be part of the story.
O B. it allows Chaucer to write his poem in English because he is capturing the speech of English commoners.
O C.
It provides Chaucer with an opportunity to write about characters that represent a wide range of social classes.
O D. It makes the messages of the pilgrims more persuasive because a reader in Chaucer's time would have respected them for
their fervent religious beliefs.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
