The Restoration

1. The Glorious Revolution or the Bloodless Revolution. Was the restoration of Charles II in 1660. When he met with misgivings by many Englishmen who suspected the Stuarts of Roman Catholic and absolutist leanings. When he died his brother James II stepped up and most English people were utterly opposed to James, just as most most Americans today would be violently upset if a proclaimed communist were to become president. The Roman Catholics caused disasters and were trying to hand over the country to the Pope. In 1688 that's when the bloodless revolution was accomplished.

I think that the bloodless revolution was important because they didn't have anyone that was king or queen trying to hurt or bring trouble to the people of England. Every since the bloodless revolution England rulers have been, at least nominally Anglicans. In the gradual process by which practical power shifted from the monarch to Parliament.





2. Satire- Is a way to make fun of society by using stupidity and or ridiculous methods on life.Examples of satire are; the Simpson's, family guy, the boondocks and scary movie.





3. The Modest Proposal is about how the parents and children were walking around the kingdom begging for different stuff so they were called the beggers. But then Jonathan wanted to prevent the youngsters from growing up and being what there parents are, and to make them become more useful to the community. This is a type of satire because it making fun of society and the people in it. It's talking down on the parents and children of how they were sort of a problem to the community.



4.From the Journal of the Plague Year was a terrible disease. People were dying back to back from the parents to even the children. Their body, sweat, and clothes were all contagious." In these walks I had many dismal scenes before my eyes", in particular people were falling dead in the middle of the streets and terrible screechings of woman and kids would cry out loud and scream death death death and no one would seem surprised if they died or not.

5.The most important thing to people who lived in these times were to get away of try to escape from the plague. If someone could try to head to another town to stop themselves from receiving the disease then they would try before its to late! " I remember one citizen who having broken out of his house or thereabout, and went along the road to Islington", were he got to an inn and asked for lodging for one night because the plague had not reached much that way.
