Abstract
In summary of this essay, the Parson is a kind, selfless, hardworking man. He is true to himself and the word of God. Not only does he practice what he preaches, but he leads the parishioners into the right direction by setting a good example for them to follow. He walks door to door, no matter the weather conditions, and preaches the Gospel to them. He does not care about money or any materialistic things.

The first reason I have picked this word is because of how hardworking the Parson is portrayed in The Canterbury Tales. He persistently walked throughout all of the parish to visit parishioners. Although he was poor, he was wealthy in knowledge and in the word of the Lord. He always practiced what he preached. At first, the Parson followed the Gospel, and then he taught to those who followed him.
The second reason is because of how devoted the Parson is to preaching. Like I stated in the previous paragraph, he would walk home to home visiting each parishioner. He would do this no matter the weather conditions. Aside from this, he gives all he has to his followers, even though he is also extremely poor. The Parson views his followers as sheep that he cannot leave behind. Majority of the priests would use the Church as a way to profit for their own personal reasons. The Parson was against the idea of being above his followers, He felt it was important to stay equal and be able to keep watch over them. He made sure to not let anything go to his head. The Parson
