The Farm Boy's Tale

Originally written for a school project, "The Farm Boy's Tale" is a sort of parody of Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales." Though the plot and themes are of no similarity, the structures are what associate the two pieces.

"The Farm Boy's Tale" takes its reader back to the American Revolution, where the fictitious James sees his first battle. Through the eyes of James, Death, and finally a lonely fly, the farm boy's tale is told.
