Description of the Pardoner

-I think the Pardoner's appearnce would be that he has blonde hair, almost yellow, it was smooth and long down to his shoulders. He didnt wear a hood on his head, but a little hat. He had big eyes, like a hare. He had a small soft voice. He had no beard, his chin was smooth.
-I think the Pardoner is a crook and he shouldnt be trusted.
-I think the narrator's opinion is that he does like him, it tells us the truth about his actions.

Description of the Summoner

-I think the Summoners appearance is he is not a handsome man and has a lot of big pimples on his face, it is knotty and probably greasy and dirty. He black scabby eye brows, and a thin beard. i would say he is just not a clean person, and kind of gross.
-I think the Summoner tries to do many things, but he just isn't good at them. He was a baligerant drunk, because it says he would shout and jabber as if he was crazy. I don't think he is too smart because it says, had you tried to test his wits and grope, for more you'd have found nothing in the bag. But he is a noble rascal, and kind at times. It says you would meet none better if you went to find one.
-I think the narrator's opinion is that the Summoner is kind of gross and he is drunk. But at the same time he is kind and you wouldn't find a better one if you tried. He explains what he likes to eat, which is onions garlic and leeks, so he is kind of portraying that he stinks.

Description of the Skipper

-The Skippers appearance is that he was a sailor and he wore a lanyard around his neck, with a dagger hanging upon it.
-I think the Skipper doesn't really have conscience, it says he ignores it. the Skipper is fighter.
-I dont think the narrator likes the Skipper very much.

Description of the Reeve

-The Reeve's appearance would be that he is old and skinny, it says his legs were lean, like sticks they were. He had a beard but it was very short, it says it was shaven closely to his skin. He had short hair above his ears, and was docked on top. His horse was gray and named Scot. He had a rusty blade hanging from his side.
-I think that the Reeve probably isn't liked much and could con people into doing things, so he wouldn't make up a lie and tell the King on them. The people feared him because he could say anything to get them in trouble or killed. He is good at what he does, but what he does is wrong. He actually has more wealth than the King, but the King has no idea.
-I dont think the narrator likes him too much. He tells us how he treats the people, and how he cons them into doing things so he will get more money.

Description of the Manciple

-Im not sure what his appearance would be, it didnt say anything about it.
-I think the Maniciple is very smart, even though he didn't have any kind of education. He had a lot of legal knowledge, and he could have taught some people from the College. It seems to me that he always won a case that he was on, because it says In any legal case there was to try; And yet this Manciple could wipe their eye.
-I think the narrator likes him because he didn't give up just because he didn't go to school. He is still smart and got a good job and went on with his life.  

Description of the Miller

-The Miller's appearance is that he is a huge guy, and not only is he huge, but he is very strong. He wore a sword and had a butler on his side. He had a long red beard, and had a wort on his nose that grew hair. His nostrils were very wide. He wore a white coat, and a blue hood. I'm thinking he is Irish.
-I think that the Miller is Irish, and Irish men like to drink. He has many stories of the bar that he can tell you, which means he has done some bad things there. He is big boned and strong, but it says he has a wart on his nose that grows red hairs, so i would say he isn't to pleasant to look at. He steals grain, so he isn't very trustworthy. But he is good at his profession because he can feel it and know.
-I don't think the narrator thinks to highly of him because he lets us know that he rips people off and has many filthy tavern stories, that doesn't look to good on him because it tells you he likes to drink a lot and has done some bad things.

Description of the Plowman

-The Plowman's appearance to me is that he is wearing a smock, which is a loose jacket that is probably long. He rides a Mare, which is a certain type of horse. I would say he is probably dirty from the kind of work that he does, he is a farmer.
-I think the Plowman is a good worker, and honest. He loved god with all his heart, and lived by the Bible. Even though he didn't have a lot of money himself, he would help the poor and never take a penny.
-I think that the narrator thinks that he is a good person, and lives by the Bible. He say that he will help the poor and not take a penny, so he is saying he will help people for free because that's something that god would want you to do. He thinks highly of him.

Description of the Parson

-I think the Parson's appearance would be that he is very modestly dressed, it doesnt say much about what he is wearing so i would say inmy opinion it is probably something like a long black cloak.
-I think that the Parson is a very holy man. He hated cursing with a passion. In my opinion i like him, and i think that he is a good man. The things he taught, he follwed them first. Meaning if he told you to do something that was right, he did it as it was right and if he said something was wrong, he didnt do it and taught it like it was wrong.
-I think the narrator really likes the Parson, he brags on him and speaks very highly of him. He says i think there never was a better priest. The narrator thinks that he is better than the monk and that he shouldnt have to follow the orders of the monk. He doesnt say anything negative, at all about the Parson.

Description of the Wife of Bath

-The appearance of the Wife of Bath is that she has big teeth with a wide gap, she has big hips so she is probably a large woman, she has red cheecks and a large face, she is kind of manly. A big boned woman. And she wore a hat. Her clothes are very bright, and also very tight.
-I think that the Wife of Bath is experienced when it comes to men, it says she'd had five husbands, all at the door of the church. She had traveled a lot because it says she had seen many strange rivers.
-I dont think the narrator likes her, he doesnt hold anything back about her. He kind of describes her as someone you wouldnt be to fond of.

Description of the Doctor

-I think the Doctor's physical appearance would be he is wearing a blood-red garment with some bluish gray, lined with taffeta. I'm sure his clothes are very nice because he has a good bitof money.
-I think the Doctor was good at his job, it says he was a perfect practicing physician. He liked expensive things and loves to make money, it says he had a special love of gold.
-I think the narrator thinks that he is good doctor, but not such a good person. Maybe he thinks he is selfish and he should do some good with his money.

Description of the Cook

-I think the appearance of the cook would be that he has a huge ulcer on his knee, it's gross! Because he has to handle food. He probably isn't to attractive by how he is described.
-I think the cook is good at what he does,  he can roast and seethe and boil and fry. And also he makes good thick soup and a tasty pie.
-I think the narrators opinion would be pretty much the same, he is a good cook. He said it was a hame he had an ulcer on his knee, so maybe he was concerened because they didn't have treatment for it back then.

Description of the Five Tradesmen

-I think the Tradesmen appearanve would be that they all have nice or decent clothes, their knives are all silver.
-I think the Tradesmen had money and they are high in society. Their wives only want attention, because their husbands spoiled them.
-I think the narrators opinion is that they go to places just to be seen threre not to be there for the cause. They have money and you can tell it by the way they act.

Description of the Franklin

-The Franklin's appearance would be that he has a long white beard as white as snow. He was very cheerful and high colored. He looks like santa clause, fat and jolly. And probably nice dressed, he carries a knife on his gurdle.
-I think that the Franklin likes to make money but he isn't greedy, he gives thinkgs to people and doesnt turn anyone down, but there is a catch to the whole thing because most people with money dont like to share.
-I think the narrator thinks that he has a lot of money and he is doing good things with it. He thinks very high of him.

Description of the Sergeant at the Law

-The Lawyer's physical appearance would be that he wore a plain colored coat, a girt with a silken belt of pin stripe and stuff.
-I think that the Lawyer is wise and is in a very high position in the town, he has won many cases and made a lot of money doing it. He was always very busy, as it seemed, but really he wasn't it was just a front.
-I think the narrator thinks that he is kind of greedy and that he dresses very plain and simple. He has won a lot of cases, and tries to act busy, but really he isn't. And he has a lot of money.

Description of the Oxford Cleric

-The Oxford Cleric's Physical appearance would be that he is thin, he had a hollow look and a steady stare. His coat was falling apart, it says the thread upon his overcoat was bare.
-I think that he is broke and doesn't have much money, and whatever he had he spent on books. He liked to learn to new things, that's why he loved to read books. He is respectful.
-I think the narrator thinks that he is polite and respectful, and he doesn't have much money because he spends it all on books. He would rather have a lot of books than to have nice clothes.

Description of the Merchant

-The Merchant's physical appearnace is that he has a forking beard, and boots that buckle, he is wearing some type of hat, and dressed in all different colors.
-I think that the Merchant is keeping a secret of being in debt. He doesn't want people to know that he doesn't have any money.
-I think the narrator knows he is in debt but no one else does, and he doesn't know him very well because he doesn't even know his name.

Description of the Friar

-The Friar's physical appearance is that he is not dressed like a Friar, he was dressed more like a pope or a doctor in a luxoruous way. His neck was white as a lily flower, but it was strong.
-I think the narrator want being serious when he said ''Poor Friar'', i think he was being sarcastic and was saying he has way more than he was offering.
-I think that the Friar is good with the ladies and he was very mellow. He did what he was told, and followed his orders. He was the finest begger of his batch, i think that he begged for things and maybe he didnt really need them. He would give things away to girls instead of trying to make money. So i kind of think he is trying to pull something over on the people.

Description of the Monk

-The monk's appearance would be that he he had an expensive coat with fur that buttoned on the chin, and wore an old fashioned gold pin. His head was bald and was shiny like glass, so was his face as it had been greased. He was big, and his eyes were gleaming. He was not pale, he had darker skin.
-I think that the monk is not anything like your typical idea of a monk. He loved the country, and hunting was his sport. He didnt hold grudges, he let go of the things that happened yesterday. Overall he was a good man.
-I think the narrator thinks that he shouldnt be separeated from the real world because he is just as normal as anyone else. He says he loves his horses and his fun costed no expense.
