Chaucer


Dear all,


In the following link you´ll find a short poem by G. Chaucer. It´s been "translated" into readable English, so you shouldn´t have any problems reading it.

http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/truth-2/

Why do you think Chaucer called this poem "truth"?

What does he mean by "for greed entails hate and social climbing uncertainty? How does it apply to the present world?

What are the religious implications of this poem?

How do you feel after reading it? Does it make sense to you, to your life?

Post your answers and or comment (150 words) before Friday.


See you,
Claudia
