CANTERBURY TALES PROJECT:
The Host

Digital Commonplace Book
​
​Social Media Platform: Twitter

Picture
Why Twitter?

The Host would use Twitter because it's a social media platform that allows people to boldly say what ever's on their mind, share their opinions on topics, and to entertain the rest of the Twitter community.

He would also like Twitter because it's interactive. His followers can retweet things that they like, and also respond to the Host's tweets, with their own opinions.

In the picture to the right, you can see that the Host tweeted about Pertolete's comment that women like men who are bold, wise, and free. You can also see that Mme. Eglantine aka the Prioress, responded to the Host's post. 
Picture
In the image to the right, you can see some of the accounts that the Host (@HostCT) follows on Twitter.

- The Host is the landlord of the Tabard Inn, so he follows lots of other hotel/lodging companies including Holiday Inn & InterContinental, to get ideas for his own lodge.

- The Host enjoys entertaining people, as well as being entertained himself. He follows famous entertainers like Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert, for a good laugh.

How the Tweets are ordered:

Use of Humor:

Digital Autobiography

Digital Platform: An Advertisement for the Tabard In...
Why create an Advertisement for the Tabard Inn?
  • The Tabard Inn plays a huge role in the development of the Canterbury Tales. The Host is the landlord of the Tabard Inn, and if the lodge did not exist, the pilgrims never would have met the Host on their way to Canterbury. If the pilgrims had not met the Host, the Canterbury Tale contest never would have been created.

  • Using an advertisement for the Host’s business, as the medium for his autobiography, echoes the importance of the Tabard Inn and how important it is to  the Host, as well as the Canterbury Tales. Running a business is not an easy task, so the Host has to be a dedicated, responsible, leader to be successful. This advertisement reflects the more serious, creative, business-man side of the Host's character. 
​​​​
  • The first image shown in the advertisement, is a picture of the Host. The picture gives you a visual of the Host's physical appearance. He's "a large man," and "was right a merye man," which can be seen in his picture (Chaucer, 755-759). The man in the picture is fairly large and although he has a pretty serious facial expression, in the picture, you can see a slight smirk on his face.
