Unphotographable Moment

It was a cool night; they wrapped their clothes around themselves as they sat on the bench overlooking the park. The sounds of cars merging onto the freeway were present, but neither took notice. For a hours they just sat there quietly remembering all of the fun and all of the other things they had shared together. Then She said "Its time I have to go." So they both walked quietly out of the park and quietly out of each others' lives forever.

THE POINT OF CANTERBURY TALES IS

To break the rules of standard writing in the culture of which it was produced. Chaucer does two things that makes this a good argument. One being his use of middle English redefining literature and two the way he coalesced all of the characters that would never interact with any of the others into one story just because he could.

Green Eggs and Hamlet

a) I know hamlet is the dude that said "to be or not to be" that's about it.
b) Shakespeare was a playwright in England and is probably the most well known author of all time.
c) Students frown when they hear Shakespeare because young students don't care for Shakespearean English in a play. The stories aren't bad, but through the medium they're presented in makes students automatically uninterested.
d)To be honest I don't know, but I remember Dr. Preston talking about how the course is going to be turned into a game. Maybe incorporate that somehow.
