Within these members of the clergy, there are two types of role models: corruption and righteous. The clergy was made up of mostly corrupted members, but there was one righteous member. The only righteous member, in Chaucer’s narration, is the parson. He was an excellent role model of the church. He did everything

“There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.”-Jose Rizal. “Animal Farm,” written by George Orwell depicts a world of talking animals and vicious dictators, but looking further into the meaning of the book you can see that Orwell’s observation and opinion that revolutions often fail in that they end up only in a change of tyrants is very true.

In his opening address to the King of France, Calvin stresses that it was never his intention to have to write to the king when he began his work of reforms, merely, he intended to educate and inspire people towards godliness.
