Survey of English Literature I - Assignment 5 James Madison University

Instructions: (Re-)read the description of the Nun/Prioress in Chaucer's General Prologue to The Canterbury Tales. Then write a modern english paraphrase of lines 118-126. You don't need to worry about rhyming or meter, but try to translate/update each line as close to the original as possible. (In other words, don't just summarize; try to really give as close a paraphrase as sounds natural.)
