writing the essay

reread your essay to eliminate spelling errors and to rule out grammatical mistakes before turning in the essay.
part a
choose one of the two topics detailed below for your essay:
a medieval romance is a kind of writing that has a mysterious, supernatural setting, idealizes chivalry and courtly love, and may involve masking a character's real identity. usually the hero of a medieval romance is a knight who takes an unusual challenge and whose triumph brings glory to the king and the nation. reread the selection from sir gawain and the green knight (or you may choose to read more of it from an online source), and write an analytical essay that examines how the poem fits into the genre of medieval romances.
in the canterbury tales, pilgrims relate the stories on their way to the shrine of thomas becket in canterbury. however, the stories often have an irreverent tone. examine to what extent “the pardoner’s tale” or “the nun's priest’s tale” (or another section of another story if you want to read more online) seems to mock aspects of religion in general or christian beliefs and church practices of the time in particular.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
