Argumentative Paragraph
During the medeval period queens would give knights tasks or quests. In the "Wife of Bath" the queen gave the knight a task. The knight transgressed, he raped a women, so for his punishment he was to go find the answer to a question. The question was what do women desire most. The knight had one year and a day to find the answer. He asked many people. Finally finding the answer from an old hag, the knights life was saved. This quest saved the knights life.

Liz,
-Capitalize "Medieval Period"
-Topic sentence is okay; maybe explain in topic sentence the purpose of this task- answer the "why" question of the statement
-nice use of 'transgress';
-change 'he raped a woman' to 'by raping a woman'
-I guess right now you're just retelling the story to us, which is part of what you need to do; now, I need you to draw conclusions from it; What is the lesson the knight learns? How does does it help him develop? Does Chaucer have a serious message behind this humorous story? Dig deeper, read "between the lines" and analyze
-Nice use of adjective phrases
-Incorporate a quotation from the text
-comma after 'finally'
-knight^'s life
-Did it just save the knight's life literally, or did he undergo a internal metamorphosis too?
