| chaucer webquest answers: Volpone Ben Jonson, 2014-06-13 Volphone's reverential prayer to his heaps of gold launches the sharpest, funniest play about money and morals in the 17th century - a play still wickedly relevant on the same topics four centuries later. Ben Jonson's comedy depicts selfishness thinly veiled by sanctimonious speeches, lust and possessiveness poorly disguised as love and marriage, and cynical legalism passing itself off as pure justice, alongside snobbery, class warfare and greed. The wily protagonists keep a dozen conventional plots spinning in the minds of their dupes, and when their amazing juggling act finally unravels, there are yet more twists - and an even deeper cynicisim - to the story. The play is partly a beast-fable: the wily fox, Volpone, plays dead to lure flesh-eating birds that he can then consume. But the beasts are the human race, and polite society the biggest, greediest scam of them all. This student edition contains a lengthy Introduction with background on the author, date and sources, critical interpretation and stage history. Robert N. Watson is Distinguished Professor of English at UCLA. His publications include Critical Essays on Ben Jonson (as editor) and Ben Jonson's Parodic Strategy. He also edited the New Mermaids edition of Every Man in His Humour. |
| chaucer webquest answers: The King and Becket Nesta Pain, 1964 Within three days of the murder of Thomas Becket, on 29th December 1170, the first miracle was reported as performed in his name. Emma, the wife of a Sussex knight, who was temporarily blind, suddenly regained her sight after weeping for Becket and declaring him to be a 'precious martyr to Christ.' Other 'miracles' followed quickly and Becket was soon proclaimed a saint. But how many of his contemporaries would have said as much while Becket was alive? He was brilliant, restless and ambitious—indeed his qualities may well have been seen at their best during his Chancellorship, when he was close in friendship with the gifted you King Henry II but far outshone him in magnificence; and he excelled equally in the hard work of administration and as a leader in social life of the time. It was when Henry insisted (in 1162) on appointing Becket Archbishop of Canterbury some of the difficulties which had arisen between the competing powers of Church and State would be resolved. The result, however, was tragic. The King and Becket retraces the whole course of the quarrel between the two men, from Henry's deep disappointment when Becket unexpectedly resigned as Chancellor, through their increasing estrangement as Becket insisted on the most extreme claims of the Church in opposition to Henry's insistence (in the 'Constitutions of Clarendon') on the 'ancestral rights' of his kingdom, and on to the final encounter at Northampton before Becket's flight to France. Henry, grieved at the loss of a friend, showed himself uncharacteristically harsh and ungenerous as the quarrel deepened, while Becket, frustrated in exile, became ever more bitter and intransigent. When events at last brought about a superficial reconciliation, Becket returned to England only to break at once the precarious peace by striking at Henry's friends. Nesta Pain's lucid account makes good and critical use of the contemporary narratives, including Becket's own letters from exile which reveal unexpected and little-known aspects of his nature. She has a sharp eye for the characters involved—not only for the complex, protean qualities pf Becket, and the more open-hearted, predictable character of the King, but also for the interesting lesser personalities in the drama. The story, one of the most famous in history, mounts in tension; and Nesta Pain's narration of the final, violent denouement, when Becket at last discovered the qualities of true heroism, is very exciting indeed.-Publisher. |

| chaucer webquest answers: Business for the Glory of God Wayne Grudem, 2022-04-25 Can business activity in itself be morally good and pleasing to God? Sometimes business can seem so shady—manipulating the bottom line, deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know. But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God's character and creation. He shows that all aspects of business, including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature. Though Grudem isn't naïve about the easy ways these activities can be perverted and used as a means to sin, he knows that Christians can be about the business of business. This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses. See how your business—and your life in business—can be dedicated to God's glory. |
| chaucer webquest answers: English Learning Made Easy- Strategies and Approaches Archana Rathore, 2015-12-07 Books are always our best companion. The idea of writing or editing a book remains always in our mind. Our students come from semi-urban background and not very fluent in English reading, writing and speaking. English is not just a Second language to them, but it is completely a foreign language to the rural background pupils. So, we research innovative techniques to make them familiar. This continuous research motivates us to edit a book on the topic. We can well see the potential of the book as it is not just about the 'Teaching' of English but basically about 'Learning' English as such. But of course it will be very helpful for ELT, per se. The book making is a long process and it needs a careful study of area, topics and research methodologies, along with very intensive and extensive genuine research work before we start. The very first thing which struck our mind was to choose the topic which could be beneficial for students and teachers both. Our undergraduate students, who actually lack Basic English speaking, reading and writing standard, gave us many new topics to write. They and their problems motivated us to collect opinions of our fellow colleagues on the wider perspectives of the chosen topic and edit a book on the subject. We have endeavored to cover many areas which need to be given emphasize when we teach or learn English. Our main focus is to give tricks and useful tips to enhance and learn English as a second language. |

And they wondered just what was in store. Would this be a good year? Would school be a bore? Everyone remembers feeling excited and nervous each fall on the first day of school. It's no different for Ellie McSnelly and Carrie O'Toole. But this year, there's not only a new teacher to meet, but a brand new kid as well. Lazlo S. Gasky doesn't look or speak quite like the other kids, and no one is sure what to make of him. In fact, they respond to his arrival at Brookhaven School by taunting and teasing him. But when Ellie realizes how tough it is for Lazlo, she reaches out, and after school one day they share an afternoon of soccer, strudel, and chess. Besides making a new friend, she and Lazlo teach their classmates an important lesson-one that isn't in their schoolbooks-about accepting people who are different...and in getting to know Lazlo, the kids learn that people aren't that different from each other after all. From one of America's most respected journalists, The Brand New Kid is a heartwarming story about tolerance and the need to give others a chance that will entertain and inspire children and adults alike. |

| chaucer webquest answers: There's a Spy in My Soup Elizabeth Blake, 2011-02 In There's a Spy in my Soup, first-time novelist but veteran writer, Elizabeth Blake gives us an intimate peek at what it is like to raise a normal family under not-so-normal circumstances. From its saucy title through to the end of her husband's CIA career, Elizabeth makes us gasp with shock at the scary days and laugh out loud at the funny ones. This is a book to pluck off the bookstore shelf, take home, curl up in front of the fireplace and immediately turn to page one. Betty Lussier, former member of X2-OSS, author of Intrepid Woman and Amid my Alien Corn The use of the word spy in the title of any book, especially amidst today's media diet of intelligence scandals and missteps, usually raises certain expectations in the mind of the reader. Readers of this book, however, will soon realize that they are getting a look into a facet of the spy business that most writers of the genre have studiously pretended does not exist. Life or death crises, vivid descriptions of exotic foreign countries-they're all in there, plus a welcome helping of humor, but all seen from the viewpoint of the spy's wife and children instead of the spy himself. Elizabeth Blake was born, raised and educated in Idaho. She accompanied her husband on a series of eight tours of duty in South American and European countries, as well as four two-year stays in the United States, during his 30-year career with the CIA. During the several years she spent in Virginia, she wrote for their local hometown newspaper. She lives with her husband, now retired, in Northern Virginia. Happily, the grandchildren live nearby. |
