U1.20.
read the excerpt from the canterbury tales
preach just as you ve heard me say, and tell
a hundred taradiddles more as well
and then i do my best to stretch my neck
and bob my head in every direction
over the folk, now this way, and now that
just like a pigeon sitting on a bam
both hands and tongue are busy and so quick
that it's a joy to watch me at my work
how does the excerpt satirize pardoners?
by stating that they are lazy when they talk to
parishioners
by illustrating their sinful behavior outside the pulpit
by suggesting that their sermons are scripted
performances
by implying that they are unwilling to learn from their
mistakes
