When King James the 2nd,King of Great Britian from 1685 until he fled to France 1688,which brought the revolution on.The Glorious Revolution was the overthrown of James the 2nd of England in 1688.The revolution was closely tied with the war of the Grand Alliance on mainland Europe.James had a son in June.His daughter was set to get the throne until he had a son.His son in law wanted to get the throne.James was against catholicism and French abolutism.
I think that the event is so important because ruling over a country is very important.The townspeople wants someone good to do it.Not to make the town into a war or something like that.A lot of times there is arguements over who is going to take over the throne with that person dies.The person who takes over needs to be a boy.
The definition of satire is sarcasm or ridcule online. My definition of satire is someone that is mean or that is always putting someone down.Some examples are tv shows like the simpsons and king of the hill.
This story is about women having babies.They start by telling the weight of the child when they are nursed properly.When the child is properly nursed they will began to weigh at 28 pounds.Then they began telling about how many poor children there are.There are about four-fifths born poor.In the city of Dublin they would rather buy the children healthy and then put hot clothes on them until they sweat as they would do when they are roasting pigs.A very wealthy person wants very young lads about forteen but no younger than tweleve.All the people that bought the children only wants to fatten them.The poor will pay their rent by corn,money,cattle,or anything that can be siezed.They want poor mothers to miscarry their unborn child.This works with satire because the writer is always putting the poor down.All the city people are wanting to do is to buy children and then fatten them up.
The journal of the plague year is about a sickness taht spread very quickly.Some people didn't even know that they had it until the next day.Many people didn't live six hours.They soon would get gangrene spots on their body."For example,many persons in the time of this visitation never percieved that they were infected till they found to thier unspeakable surprise,the tokens came out upon them;afterwhich that they seldom lived six hours;for those spots called the tokens were really gangrene spots or mortified flesh..."One man in the town even hung himself.Many people were killing themselves even mothers killing their children.Some people would have strokes and even epilepsies.One man went to the motel and said he was infection free but the next morning he was dead."He asked them for lodging for onr night only,pretending to be going into Lincolnshire,and assuring them of being very sound and free from the infection..."One man had the infection and he broke way from the nurse and ran.With all the motions of his arms and leg it must have cured the infection.
I think that if you were going to live in that time you would need to stay in the house."For example,many persons in the time of this visitation never percieved that they were infected till they found the unspeakable surprise..."Many people would not be honest with you if they had it.Once you got the infection they didn't live long."...many seldom lived only six hours..."The only way to be sure that you don't catch it is to stay in the house.
