Doctor

media type="custom" key="3628537"

Why good morning, I am Dr. Robert Rey from Dr. 90210. I am the Physician in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. I am a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills California. I spend my day’s telling people what they could do to make themselves look better and make it seem like it will really change their lives for the better. I do all different a type of surgery has to alter a person for whatever reason they like. I make sure to spend a good amount of time with each of my patients to make sure they are comfortable and alright with everything they have decided to get done to their bodies. I love my job and I take great pride in all my work, but most of all I love the pay check I get in my bank every client I get, that’s always a great thing. I’ll be traveling across country to try and find more people that want and need my help, so I can know more people and help them and make an even bigger check for myself.

 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">Chaucer’s Opinion of the Character: Does he have a positive or negative view of the character? Be careful of his sarcasm!

Chaucer seems to like the Physician, he is a doctor and does his job very well, but he is too involved in the money he is making by helping the people.

|||| <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">Explain how this modern equivalent would fit the positive or negative view.

He seems to fit both the negative and positive of the Physician. Dr. Rey loves what he does and knows a great amount about it all, but he really loves it all because the very nice and large pay check he gets every week. || || <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">Statement asserting the characterization:
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">Statement/Justification:

Man that does his job and very well, just seems to be doing more for the money than the joy of helping. “He therefore had a special love of gold” (Chaucer 454). |||| <span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua','serif';">Justification for why this character is the modern equivalent of Chaucer’s character:

They are both doctors and love what they do and tend to spend a very good amount of time with their patients, but in the end they are all about the money.

 * __ Voki Justification: __**
 * ** Aspect on your Voki Modern Character ** || ** The Reason/Justification for that choice: How does that help communicate the character? ** ||
 * ** The background is a scene of a beautiful backyard with a pool and hot tub. **
 * Very blue eyes **
 * Gold chain **

|| ** I used this because it shows the very nice scene all clean and beautiful for the physician is a very clean person and it looks as though someone with a good amount of money would own something like that and he is all about the money and having a lot of it. **
 * He has very blue eyes because, “The cause over every malady you’d got he knew, and whether dry, cold, moist, or hot; He knew their seat, their humor and condition” (429-431). **
 * He has a gold chain because, “Gold stimulates the heart, or so we’re told. He therefore had a special love of gold” (453-454). ** ||

Pardoner (Allen Standford, Financier)

What you learned about the character: He is a greedy man that wants as much money as he can get. He cares for himself and his money, that is it. He will get the money any way he can, if it may include lying about the lord or anything else.

How would your character react to this character. Explain WHY. Pardoner and the Physican would get along in certain ideas, they are both veyr into their money and love to have a lot of it at all times. Then again the Physican takes great pride in caring for his patients and helping them any way he can when Pardoner is just about the money and does whatever he has to get money for himself.

Name of the Character 2:

Women of Beth (Madonna)

What you learned about the character: She is a plump women that has been through her share of men and doesn't like to keep them for to long, she likes everything to be revolved around her at all times of day and likes to think she is the most perfect person in the world and everyone should know that and respect her.

How would your character react to this character. Explain WHY. I do not think the Physican and the women of Beth would get a long to well, they do not have that much in comman besides her wanting everyone to pay attention to her and him taking good care of his patients. So the only way they would really care to talk to each other would be if she was one of his patients and he had to take care of her.

Name of the Character 3:

Franklin (Saint Nicholas)

What you learned about the character: Franklin is a very kind and helping Sheriff, he is one of the nicest people you could ever want to meet in life. He helps everyone out any way he can, giving them food or a place to stay. He would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it, just to help a person in need.

How would your character react to this character. Explain WHY.
 * Franklin and the Physican would get a long just fine, they both like to help people in ways they know best. franklin does it more for the thought of helping another person and feeling good, where as the Physican does it a little more for the money he gets in the end.**
