- Charles II had a number of illegitimate children, but no longer heir. when he died in 1685, he was succeeded by his brother James II, a practicing Roman Catholics had not only set fire to london and caused other disasters, but were activity plotting to hand the country over to the pop. when jame's queen produced a little boy-a catholic heir pressure on the royal family became so great that in 1688, they suddendly fled to france. the so called Glorious (bloodless) Revolution (1688) was accomplished. James II was succeeded by his protestant daughter, Mary, and her dutch husband, William of orange. Ever since, the rulers of england have been, at least nominally anglicans. I think that the event was so important, because they wanted to hand the country to the pope and they wanted to battle it all out. this event was a history to learn. and they didnt have to kill to put sombody as king.
2. "Satire" means- when a group of people or an idea or attitude dealing with graphic arts and performing arts. of ten very funny, its not humour but criticism of an event.
- The Simpsons
- king of the hill
- south park
- family guy
- my wife and kid
- source magazine
- people magazine
3. the modest proposal is talking about the kids that is born into this world poor and on the backs and side there mother. and that the female sex is followed by three, four, or six children, and they are all in rags. it was talking about instead of the mothers working to take care of their kids they beg strangers to give them money in the streets to feed their kids. when the kids become 1 years old he will provide for them. he calculated that about two thousands wives are breeders in his kingdom.
- this Satire, because it is critcizing the woman out here that doesnt take care or there children. the modest proposal is mainly a Satire in a sarcastic way . in different forms of speach.
4. from the Diary of Samuel Pepys- october 13, 1660. Apublic execution, private Explosion:
- Major General Harrison hanged, drawn, and Quartered which was done there he looking as cheerfully as any man could do in that condition. he was presently cut down and his head and his heart shown to the people, at which there was a great shouts of joy. it said that he said that he was sure to come shourtly at the right hand of christ to judge them that now have juged him.and that his wife doth expect his coming apart.from thence to my lords and took captain cuttance amd mr. sheply to the sun tavern and did give them some oysters.
5. what was most important for the people that lived in that time period. was finding a lord or king or etc. i think the people at that time was doing the same thing that's going on in today's standerd went on in a differnt way in that period of time. they main focuse was god and who they belived in .they wanted to do things that they thought was right back then.
the people was so into god and chooseing the king or queen . and if somebody do something wrong that they didnt like they get execucted. they wanted the best for the people.

Good work here. I would take the last two examples off your satire list. Can you see how they do not fit with the others?
