I have to write about what the framing fiction of The Canterbury Tales is and I don’t even know what framing fiction is! I looked online but that didn’t help me.

Thank you in advance. I’m panicking!!

Answer:

Answer by Steven J Pemberton
Try looking up “frame story”, since that’s probably the more common term. Basically it’s a story that surrounds another story or stories, like the frame around a picture. The Canterbury Tales is about a group of people on a pilgrimage to Canterbury. To make the journey more interesting, they take turns to tell stories. The frame story is the part of the story about the travellers on their journey and telling their stories, but excluding the stories that each character tells.

I really want to write creatively (fiction), but I’m not so sure if the job market is exactly “booming” for that. My university’s most interesting minor in something technologically-based is the EMB minor which I know will have more job opportunities. What do you all think?

It has to be about 1,500 words or more. The only guidelines given were that it needs to be MLA format, take place in a time period before 1751, and focus mainly on a certain culture and something that happens to them. I’m not asking for anyone to write my essay for me, I just need some ideas. A couple kids in my class are using action movies like Pirates of the Carribbean and 300 as bases for them. Any ideas? Please help:)!
