The restoration

1. Research The Glorious Revolution (sometimes called the Bloodless Revolution) online or in one of the textbooks. Write a paragraph summarizing what happened, and then another that explains why you think the event was so important.



1. the reason way this is so important is because back then when the people wanted to over through the king they had to drag the king out. but in this case the king did not want him or his family to get hurt. so he listen to his people and took him and his family to France.


2. Define "satire". Don't just copy and paste a definition from another source. Read the definition, and then explain it in your own words. Once you have done that, provide a few modern-day examples of satire (television shows, movies, magazines, etc.).

2. satire in my own words means sarcasm, when some one is saying something nice but they really are saying it to be mean. Or they are just being mean.

3. Read "A Modest Proposal", which may be difficult at first, but if you stick with it, the message will become more clear. Once you are finished reading, you should write a short response to what you read (4-5 sentences), and explain how this is a work of satire.

3. what i found very interesting is that he talks about how women aer having so many kids and not being able to provide for the kids that they have. This was written so many years ago and still are having the same problems to day. so many teens are having babies and grown women and still can not provide for them. so when they growing up they might go down the wrong path and they are no good to the rest of the world. its sad to say that teens and women are still killing their babies but now the only thing diff rent is that doctors are acutely doing it know. Instead of it being done in the street.

4. Read either "from the Diary of Samuel Pepys" or "from A Journal of the Plague Year" by Daniel Defoe, both of which can be found in the purple anthology. Once you have finished reading, write a 1-2 paragraph response to what you have read. Please be sure to include some direct evidence from the text to help show what you are responding to.

4. if i had lived at the time this was all going on i would have gone crazy. most of all if i was a mother. i would hate to see my family get sick and start dying on me. i would be so over protected of what they ate and who were they around. most of all i would not let my family or any one i cared about near that side of town that was to believed to be the most infected.



5. What do you think was most important to people living in this time? Write a 1-2 paragraph response to this question in which you use direct evidence from the texts you read to support whatever arguments you make.

5. The most important thing that i think was important to people back then was that the had to learn to be educated too that things around them can run more smoothly. For example it the mother and father were educated and they had kids they would be able to own a home, have enough money for food and most of all make sure that their kids can be well educated. Another important thing was that they had to find out a way for their town to function as of having running water, safe place to grow and sell food, and to have jobs so they can support them self's.

Realism

1. Read "A Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. You should be able to identify the following in this story: a. details that specifically explain a characters actions, or detailed descriptions of a setting. a social issue that Chopin wants to solve Write a paragraph response to a and b in which you explain how this story includes these aspects of realism. Each paragraph should have some direct evidence from "A Story of an Hour"

A. the way this story has realism is that it goes in to detail about how a women first heard about her husband who had died in a work accident. when the woman first was told that her husband was killed so was really heart broken. she relied on her sister for fiscal support and emotionally. After that she wanted to be alone in her room to rest. Once in her room she rested but she couldn't help to think that now she is a widow she can do what ever she wants with out having to ask for her husbands pemiton. Although she did love him very much she was happy and sad about her situation. D.E. : But she saw beyond that bitter moment a long procession of years to come that would belong to her absolutely.

B. The social problem that i think she wanted to solve was that men had to much power over what their wife's. Also i think she really wanted to fix the power that men had over women in general. D.E. :There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.

.2. Read "The Battle with Mr Covey" by Frederick Douglass. Follow the same directions for #1. Go further on this one to explain what you think Douglass' purpose was for writing this. Your response should be three paragraphs.

2. the way this story has realism is that it goes in to great detail about how a slave would be treated by his boss. when the slave was working out side one day he grew incredibly ill. when his boss notice that he had stoped working he came out and went straight to him and found out what was wrong with him. I was thinking that he was going to give the slave some water or something to help him get back to work but man was i wrong. what the boss ended up doing was beating him up by kicking him repeatedly and telling him to get up. When the boss saw that he was not able to get back to work he gave the slave a blow to the head. D.E. : He gave me another kick , and again told me to rise. D.E. #2 Covey took up the hickory slat with which Hughes had been striking off the half-bushel measure, and with it he gave me a HEAVY blow upon the head, making a large wound and the blood ran freely. reading this made me think about how people didn't care back then for another human bean and it makes me soooo mad that this happened back then.

b. The social issue that Chopin was trying to get resolved was slavery and human rights. why i say slavery is obvious . it made me even more mad that when the slave escaped and had went to his master and told him that if he stayed with Chopin he was going to die. and his master didn't even care. All he said is that he knew Chopin and he knew that he was a good man and would not kill him because it would cost him a whole years worth of wages. I think he wanted to get human rights solved as well. I mean who now and days would let these things happen to some one.

3. Provide a modern example of realism (Boyz in tha Hood, and Menace II Society, for that matter are off-limits). This can be music, a movie, a television show, a book, or whatever you may choose. You need to explain how it is realism, and provide an example from your choice (a lyric, description of a scene, quote, etc.)

3. the modern example i think of realism is how the economy is bad. my example is that the government is giving car dealerships money. it is called cash for clunkers! i think this was a really good idea for the economy to kind of fix it self. For one the dealers get money then people with cars that take up a whole lot of gas to run get switched out for cars than have a better gas mileage. in the long run bad cars get taken off the road, we got a car that works, and the earth has a little bit of the load taken off of its self( the air).

Dark Romanticism

1. Which side of the divide do you fall? Are you closer to being a Transcendentalist or a Dark Romantic? Explain your answer with a short paragraph.

1. I think I am a lot closer to the Transcendentalist beliefs. Why i think i relate to this the most because as soon as i read their beliefs it was exactly how i felt. I really like the fact that they believe that god talks to every one and that we were all born pure and not sinners. But most of all i like the fact that they understand how powerful your mind really is unlike other people who (the church) did not want people to learn how to read.

3. Write a 2-3 paragraph response to the story you read. You should explain what you thought of the story as well as how well it illustrates how the Dark Romantics disagreed with the Transcendantalists. You need to provide at least a line or two of direct textual evidence from the story you chose to prove your claim.

3. My thought on the story i just read was that it was nothing like i was expecting it to be. i had to read the story twice before i fully understood it. this author was such a bad person. i didn't understand how he went from a loving home to a happy marriage and then he just went crazy. i like how he loved animals and his wife. but then as he got older he started to drink heavily and then come home and abuse his wife and his pets. it seemed that he did not know how to control his emotions or his demons that he let it get the best im. he cut his cats eye out then he kills the cat. so weeks go by and he feels bad for mistreating his pets so he gets a new cat. so the same deal he likes the cat then it drives him crazy to the point he kills hi wife. i just hate the fact that he blames this all on the cat!! So the transendantalist belive that all people are good and that god talks to everyone thoughts and by that way the humans will know how to behave. However the dark romantics show "the black cat" as an example that not all people all good and some are just plain out evil. "The fury of a demon instantly possessed me.""I took from my waistcoat-pocket a pen-knife, opened it, grasped the poor beast by the throat, and deliberately cut one of its eyes from the socket "

5. Once of Poe's most famous works was "The Raven", a poem he wrote while his second wife was literally dying in the next room. Read the poem (more than once), and then write a response (at least two paragraphs) that includes a few lines that stuck out to you. Add another paragraph or two that should explain how this poem represents an anti-Transcendental idea. As always, responses with direct evidence are always better than those that do not.

5. the raven has always been a very interesting poem to me. I remembered the first time i heard it was on the Sampson's. i liked how they made it a dark cartoon but still funny. when i read the raven i thought of a man who is extremely sad that he is losing his wife. what gave me this idea is when he wrote "For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore". Also i think he didn't know what to do with him self (" I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow"). so with him not knowing what to do with himself he got so lonely that he thought a bird was staring at him and enjoying his sorrow that he was in. he thought the bird was smiling at him and that it just did not want to leave him and his dying wife alone.

5. the way this represents anti-Transcendental it that if god really spoke to each and every person that he would have helped him in his time of need and help him from going crazy. also he wouldn't see the raven as a sing of evil but as a sign that his sweet Leanor is being guided by a beautifull bird to heaven also he wouldn't be as sad as he is.
