Thin Has a hollow look With a sober stare His clothes falling apart

Philosophy
![Page 6: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The tone seems slightly frustrating◦ “too unworldly to make search”◦ “He had not found the stone for making gold”◦ All examples are showing how the Cleric is so
intelligent, wise and has much potential but doesn’t have the drive to succeed
![Page 7: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
1. What is so extraordinary about the Student having twenty books? He spent his money on books rather on material
things. He also enjoys learning new information.
2. What is suggested about the details of his dress and by the description of his horse? He may be poor because his horse was very thin and
he did not have a war coat on.
3. What subjects does he study? He studies philosophy.
![Page 8: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1. What does the last line reveal about the student? “And he would gladly learn, and gladly teach” This
reveals that he has a love for teaching others but will never be hesitant to learning new material
2. Can the student be compared to any other member of the pilgrimage? Both the cleric and the plowman are poor but still
enjoy to share and help others

Lives in “perfect charity” meaning he has rags for clothes
He is “hard-working” meaning he is dirty and tired looking
![Page 10: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Does hard labor Does the dirtiest jobs – shoveling manure,
harvesting

The tone seems melancholy◦ Lives in charity◦ Is very poor
The tone is also peaceful◦ Does everything he is meant to◦ “Living in peace”◦ Looks to God
![Page 14: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
1. How does Chaucer represent this character? Chaucer writes how the plowman is “an honest
worker”, “loving God best with all his heart and mind”, and is charitable for helping the poor. He is also responsible because he pays his “tithes in full when they are due”.

They go to a school to start off their daySome need coffee from the café

They impact the lives of those they teach
And have the heart to help them reachTheir goals, ambitions and dreams of
high hopesTo maybe become a doctor or pope

Can wear anything while being professionalExpressing themselves through their own
styleSome are married, some are not
Their job consumes their time slot
![Page 18: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
They started in the one room schoolNow they use all different tools
There’s more than just the paper and pen
Things have changed from way back when
![Page 19: The Oxford Cleric –pg. 130-131 The Plowman –pg. 136-137](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062421/56649c9a5503460f9495813e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Teachers come in any shape or sizeSome are pretty or witty, all are wise
Their bodies may vary but one thing is true
They all a heart and want to teach you
