Hey /lit/, I'm a teenager in his third year of high school.

>Given Assignment
This assignment is to research the Canterbury Tales character known as, "The Wife".
Would anybody here have a good location to research this character? I've done a lot on my own, yet wish for more opinions and facts besides my own.

Let me guess, inner city school?

Even if not, high school doesn't mean shit. I know lots of people who thought they were amazing at something in high school, only to go out in the real world and realize they're just mediocre at it, and the fact that the competition in high school is so low, they just looked amazing.

I feel sorry for all of you /lit/.
Frankly, I thought this was a board away from all of the prosaic garbage on 4chan.
I apologize for my inconsiderate waste of your time for viewing a legitimate question.
Thank you.

As I said, I've done my own research, yet wished for a like-minded person to provide a differing opinion of the false piety of the wife of Bath. I once again apologize for my naivete and faith in a board dedicated to literature.

Not very. It's fucking high school dude. You can easily be the best at something in your class, only to go out to where there's real competition and find out you're only mediocre at it.

While this board luckily doesn't have a hubbox when it comes to writing, making it a shitty place to share your stuff only makes it harder to see what other people is doing and improving on ones work. Don't try to prey at someone's work just to show how much of a grown up you are, because besides doing the exact opposite of that, you are shitting up the board more than, OP.

Also, OP, make a more succinct post if you want answers. Maybe even open up to other related stuff that isn't for your assignment but is nice to read about. I'm not from an english speaking country and the canterbury tales as we get them are heavily edited in the translation, it's nice to see this stuff in the correct light.

That makes me sad

I remember a friend wanted to be NBA

It hurt when I asked about it when I saw him at college, it wasn't that he laughed at a childish dream and he moved on, it was that he said he wasn't good enough for that

People too easily give up their dreams I don't think he even tried nor did he mention any new goal

It's nice etiquette to have something about the topic in the OP so people interested know they'll be able to have some interaction, otherwise threads can become opinion dispensers without any interesting talk.

How does that work?

Most first year college stuff covers topics you could had seen in HS, but that has more to do with HS being useless.

I think the saying actually is "ten dollar word". It's a saying that hasn't been used since the 1930s I think, so I think I got it wrong. Just trying to be funny in any case.
