After you have completed reading “The Canterbury Tales” complete the following project:

Select a prominent figure or stereotype from modern day life and write his or her own tale. Your tale must be written in the same rhythm and style as those of the pilgrims in Chaucer’s work, but it can be written in today’s venacular (just a big word for language). Your tale must involve subtle satire, just as Chaucer’s do. While your writing style must mimic that of Chaucer, your character must be true to the modern day character you have chosen. Your tale must contain at least two literary allusions and one historical allusion. It must also contain at least one simile that is not a cliche. At Least 800 Words.
