Westminster Abbey Research Paper

Decent Essays

    Have you ever read a book or poem and wondered about the author’s life? I occasionally wonder about where he or she was born, about their education, their family, and even their life experiences. When I was in the fourth grade I got to thinking about and researching a person I was learning about in Social Studies and found out from my grandpa Teal that George Rogers Clark is an ancestor of mine.

Through my research on Geoffery Chaucer, I know that he is not an ancestor of mine, but whoever is related to him has one interesting ancestor.…

In addition, because the staff is overworked from being understaffed they are oftentimes rude and reluctant to help when they arrive.…
