Choose one thesis statement from the choices below to write a one to three paragraph essay. Make sure you include the thesis in your essay. Support your assertions with textual evidence:

One of the reasons Chaucers The Canterbury Tales has endured in the literary canon for centuries is that it represents a slice of medieval life while at the same time serving as antidote, or cure, to the extreme social difficulties of that period. (Discuss what was going on in the Middle Ages at this time [the Plague, social distinctions with feudalism, knights, etc.] and how each storyteller has a specific role in that time period.)

(Can you please use The Pardoner’s Tale and The Prologue for textual evidence)
