Franklin

Franklin media type="custom" key="3628553"

 Hello I am Saint Nicholas. In Chauncer’s Canterbury Tales I was Franklin the Sheriff. I also am part of the fuedal class, since i am a wealthy land owner. I am seeking a trip to go to Disney World, because i want to help the families in need that go there. People say I am a model among landed gentry, and that none stand higher then me in Justice Sessions. I am a kind, gracious and caring man. I make sure I have an open house for people in need. My bread and wine are the finest you will have. I am the one true person you know you can trust. I live in the moment by saying eat, drink, and marry for tomorrow we may die.

He has a positive view of the Franklin because he says he is a kind and gracious man, was the one true felicity in sight, and he was a model among landed gentry. The only thing he might think is that he is too nice since he made his household free to all the county.

 * 2. He has a red nose and red cheeks because on line 343 they say he is a high colored man. So we gave him red glowing cheeks to show that. **

=
-In chauncers canterbury tales he is a physician. He knows alot about medicine, astronomy, and surgery, he has a fine eye for detail, and he loves his job. Most of all, he loves his paycheck, he is Greedy===== How would your character react to this character. Explain WHY. -The Franklin would react to the physician not very well i think. Although i think he would talk to him, they would not be buddy buddy because The Franklin is all about sharing his money and having an open house for people in need. While the Physician is about having more patients so they can give him a paycheck at the end. He would never just help someone without getting the money for it.

Name of the Character 2: The Woman of Bath

What you learned about the character:

In Chauncers Canterbury Tales she was the Woman of Bath. She has been married 5 times, and loves to travel. Also she is a very creative, and self centered person.

How would your character react to this character. Explain WHY. The Franklin would not take kindly to this charcter because he is a very kind person who like to give back to his community and share his fine things with people, while the woman of bath has no meaning of loyalty, being that she has been married 5 times, and also it says she is a very self centered person, meaning she does not care about many other people then herself.

Name of the Character 3: Summoner

What you learned about the character:

In Chauncer Canterbury Tales he was the Summoner. He is not the nicest person you will meet since he insults everyone, he is a scoundral, he is in everybody's business knowing all their secrets, and he is insecure and avoids all issues. He enjoys to make people miserable by collecting their taxes.

How would your character react to this character. Explain WHY. I think that the Franklin would not get along with the summoner because he seems like a shady guy and thta he's up to no good. Also the summoner enjoys making people miserable which is the exact opposite of what the Franklin likes to do. The Franklin likes to give people gifts and make sure everybody gets something.
