The Canterbury Tales (Wednesday)

-
Today in AP Lit, we were introduced to “The Canterbury Tales” by I very famous writer by the name of Geoffrey Chaucer. We will begin ready this book this week. In the past, I’ve heard that the stories inside of this book were very interesting, so I am very excited to get into this book this week.

Also, today in AP Lit, we listened to a very powerful speech about “effort is everything”. The video really inspired me to not be discouraged about not being as smart as the next person. Also, that you don’t have to be smart to be successful.
