Bloodless Revolution

1. The bloodless revolutions was pretty much an over through in a way...to me. England was pretty much thought as a dictatorship like Cuba is today. The rulers they had were not good to the people. They even had one of thier rulers beheaded (Wow!). After going through many rulers, the bottem line was what they called the Pope. As of today, England is still powered by a Pope.

I thought it was pretty interesting about the background they had. Even the acts they did were not shocking then, but now they would be herendous. I mean think about it, killing president Bush would be so shocking today. Then you've got all of these charges brought up. But back then they didnt have charges. The interesting thing to me is, after all of the rulers they went through and settled on a Pope in 1688, and is still present to this day.....just not the same one of course.

Satire- Pretty much the use of sarcasm like imitating someone using sarcasm.
To me its kinda like making fun of or mocking a person.
Examples- Saturday Night Live. They make fun of celebs by dressing up and mocking them.

The was an weird story. It talked about this English guy in his cure for Ireland's problems. His plan for hunger and high population was to kill the children for population, and eat them for hunger. Personally I wasnt impressed. It was sick and horrific to think someone would come up with this nonsence. They had crazy laws back then so I think he should have been beheaded or something of that nature.

This was a very I guess cool piece of literature I read. It was the diary of Samuel Pepys. He wrote about his life in London for nine years, and recording everything in good detail. For the most part, he seemed to be happily married to a 20 year old, while he was 27. They had their arguments like many couples do of course. On Sep. 2, 1664 the great town of London cought fire and burned to the ground. The city was devistated. Everybody scattered to grab their things but the poor people stayed in their homes as long as possible.

I liked all of the stories I read in this section. They were all true so it told alot about how times were way...back in the day. But the modest proposal was a pain to comprehend at times. For the most part I learned alot about the English past and got to compair the stories I read to what is going on today. As well as the differences.
