Allright…I really actually like the Prioress’s Tale. Even though it was sad becasue the little boy died, I thought it was easy to understand and had a good message to it. I read that the little boy was only seven years old, so he must have a very devoted mother to make a kid of that age believe in his faith so much. Knycki (sorry if I spell your name wrong) and Justine, I really liked the connection to “She Said Yes”. I read that book a couple years ago and now that you pointed out the similarities, I get it! And I love all your backgrounds!

Along with Kerri, I enjoyed this tale. I found it really easy to follow along with and comprehend. I was sad at the end when the little boy died though. I found the boy to be extremely influential- even as a little boy, he was so solid in his faith, that he encountered persecution as a result. He was a martyr of his faith and I learned a valuable lesson from him. I found it interesting how long the little boy survived after he had his throat slit- it was the power of the Lord which was represented in the “pearl”. I really liked Justine and Knyki’s reference to “She Said Yes” too. It is a great reference and is extremely applicable because most people our age know that story! Great Job on the slideshow girls, I really enjoyed it!

I really liked your guys’ powerpoint. Your tale was probably my favorite so far. It had a lot of powerful meanings to it and prominent symbols. Along with what Kerri said, I really thought it was an interesting connection to the “She Said Yes” narrative. The boy was a true martyr and the tale within a tale is about going to see a martyer. A really good point. :] Good Job Ladies
