Coveting Death For Money

Geoffrey Chaucer: "The Father of English Literature"             

The very genius that wrote "The Canterbury Tales": a collection of tales told during a pilgrimage. Although Chaucer planned to write 120 tales, he only successfully finished to write 11 tales. My favorite tale is the "Pardoner's Tale". It became my favorite because it is easy to understand and it's moral lesson is good.

       The Pardoner's Tale is a story of three men finding a thief named Death. On their way, an old man dress up in rags told them that he saw Death under the tree. When the three men went to look under the tree they saw bags of golds and jewelries. The three men decided that one of them should buy food and drinks and so they pick straws to pick someone to buy the stuffs. The youngest one was picked and bought the stuffs


When the youngest was gone the two others decided to murder him and split the prize for themselves. And while gone, the youngest decided to poison his two friends.

And so the youngest was stabbed, and the two ate the food and got poisoned in short they all die because of their "GREEDINESS".

There is one conclusion i have in mind. The Old man they met is the so called Death or the Devil and he purposely left the golds and jewelries because he knows what will happen next. That greediness will consume the Three shall be soon added to his kingdom... Coveting money is like Coveting Death.

Heroes of my life

 A Hero. As we say that word ideas like fiction superheroes like Green Lantern, The Fantastic 4 and many others. But what does the word hero really means. A hero is someone who sacrifices himself or herself for the sake of his or her loved ones. Someone who will do anything just to protect the ones he or she cares away from danger.
 
I my self consider my parents the heroes of my life. My father is a mechanical engineer and he works for the Disney Cruise Line. My mother is a housewife and a business woman. I owe them my life because they helped me become a great person. I consider them my heroes because they gave me and my younger sibling everything we need to get this far. Sometimes they teach us lessons when we have done something wrong but i understand why they have to do those things...
My Father Ariel G. Serrato

My Father is a seaman. He has been working abroad for ten years including the vacations.

My Mother Gracelyn S. Serrato

I LOVE My parents and i am very thankful to have them... And so they are the Heroes of my Life
