reading
the book that i am reading about is the patient, and the furthest thing that i have read about or understand is that this guy operates mainly on the brain and he has this one patient that he is having a second thought about operating on.

The glorious revolution
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.
The glorious revolution was also called the Revolution of 1688. This was the year that the parliments overthrew King James II of England. This Revolution is also known as the Bloodless Revolution. The Roman Catholic James II (1633-1701) fled france in 1688 and thats what begun the Glorious Revolution. Shortly after this, his brother Charles the II took over the English throne. When he took over the throne the Englishmen did not really like him. Charles II also made them not like him even more by not responding or even acting like her cared parliment, and by tolerating the Catholics and also by making alliances with the Catholic Powers in Europe.
I think that this is important, because it shows you how a King of 1 country can betray his country for another country, and that can cause alot of conflict within one country. This can cause the country to not respect you and them to have u beheaded and overthrow the Gov't.
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.).
Satire is the using of deroggitory language to degrade of others. in other words to attack others.
Some ways that satire is used are sometimes in talk show, let's say Maury for example. You have guys on there that are there for DNA testing of a child that could possibly be theirs, they sit there and call the woman all kinds of names, and say they haven't slept with them and so forth. They make her feel bad about herself and makes her feel bad. Gossip magazines also satire others. Let's take Brittany Spears for instants, they make her look like a drug addict and an unfit mother of 2. They don't really know whats going on with her. They have her on the front of these magizines and have these nasty looking pictures of her.
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.
The modest propsal was about how children should be out on their own by the time they are 1, and how some mothers are lazy and don't want to get a job they are just always looking for handouts. This shows satire beacuse it's making the mothers look bad, and making them look like they are the scum of the earth. It talks about how the kids grow up to be nothing but thieves and savages. How the mothers have more than 3 kids and continue to have more becasue they are good for nothing.
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.
What i read about was how the plague disease broke out and killed alot of people. It was a silent death and most people didnt know that they had it. It was where people would get these big calluses that looked like blisters and would die like 6 or 7 days later. If i was in that situatuion i would have probably killed and hung myself one of the masters did in the story.
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.
The most thing that i tiink was important to me in these times was the plague disease., because it was a silent death and it was going aroung. You didnt know you had it until you started getting these blisters or what not. There wasn't a cure for it, so if you got it you just got it and there was nothing that you could do about. If that was me i would feel bad knowing that i was about to die and there was nothing that i could do about. Just like if i had a child, i think that is the most painful thing that i could deal with knowing that my child was about to die.
