brianna i think that u are amazing and that everything you do is incredible. your inferences are genious and i really think that you captured the essence of the Wife of Bath perfectly. The quatations that you used were perfect for the descriptions that you used. i absolutly agree with every inference that you made about her. your work is outstanding. great job!
