Canterbury Tales Prologue Assignment

Write an intro to the 30^th member of the Canterbury Tales crew. Your character can be yourself, or any other person of interest (such as Beowulf, Abraham Lincoln, Sherlock Holmes, Justin Bieber, or Bruce Wayne). 

Requirements:

•  It must introduce the character
• The character must be introduced as a title (Think of it like a group they belong to: dork, politician, detective, superhero, prince, diva), and you must comment on either their profession or status in society.
• Must describe the person with some accuracy while also commenting on his or her character (Use satire or humor- that’s what Chaucer did)
• Must be 14 lines long
• Music be written with heroic couplets

For example:

There was a Dork emerging from the crowd,

He spoke nonsense with pride, and quite loud.

Awkwardly tall, with horrendous dance moves-

Even his parents greatly disapproved.

He wore a Batman shirt with a striped tie,

With such a style, students wished him to die.

He spoke of hashtags and the Walking Dead,

Boring us to tears, “Please shut up” I pled.

He showed us his treasure: a PowerPoint,

As he presented, our eyes went disjoint.

Talking of his website all day and night,

“We don’t care”, we screamed, “Don’t put up a fight!”

I glanced at him, sighed, and felt my fury,

This would be a long walk to Canterbury.
