Uncategorized Assignment-helpPlease read pages 3-45 in Boccaccio’s Decameron and respond to the following prompt:How does Boccaccio describe the experience of living through the Black Death? What kinds of reactions do people have to it? And to what degree, if any, did the plague affect the social fabric of medieval society (ie. the way people viewed or related to each other or institutions like the Church)? 1) Please respond to this in approximately 4 pages, double-spaced, 12 point font. (Note: I’m less concerned about the page number than I am that you are specific and use examples from the reading to support your analysis. Some people can do this in fewer words, some people can write a lot but not say much) 2) Your paper should have a thesis. The thesis should tell your reader what you are trying to argue or show them. This should come in the introduction. 3) Your analysis should be supported by specific examples from the reading. When you quote or reference from the text, please put the page numbers in parentheses at the end of the sentence. 4) When you include a quote or reference from the text, you need to tell your reader how or why this is important and/or demonstrates your point.
