Unit 5: The Restoration and Enlightenment

1. The Bloodless Revolution: The Bloodless Revolution was about James II he was Charles II brother. He was called to the throne when Charles II died. But they didn't want him to be king because he was practicing Roman Catholic. Which the English people opposed of him. They thought that James II was the reason for sitting fire to London and causing other problems. The English thought that James II was plotting hand the country over to the pope. When James II queen conceived a little boy the family had so much pressure on the royal family so they fled to France. After that The Bloodless Revolution was accomplished.

2. Satire- Is a literary genre and form, Its also practice in the form of graphic and preforming arts. It also so shames people and society.

3. A Modest Propsal
- Is about women having kids and not taking care of them. Also having to many kids at one time. The kids will either die after age one or before because of sickness. But when the kids would get around the age six they are usually put to work. I also read that around twelve they were sold to ther people. Which they were not sold for much. During this they are shaming the parents for how they are treating their kids.
