Book "In Between Men"

This book is basically about a marry woman who has three kids and her name is Hope. She feels that she is having problems with her married, which i dont think nothing was wrony with. Her husband loves her and would do anything for her, she just had a problem communicating with him about going back to school. He really didnt want her to work, but instead she did and he supported her on that. Her bestfriend tries to tell her that her and a man name Tony are getting a little too close and Hope would just look at it like her and the man was good friends. Then later on she has an affair with him and how i used to think of her as being a good mother and wife. I dont think that anymore, i dont like her anymore because that is wrong how she betrayed her husband and kids.

A Modest Proposal

While reading A Modest Proposal, the first i didn't understand it at first, but the second time i got it a little bit because i understood what the message was. In the proposal the man was saying that the Ireland ate one year old. Which I'm pretty sure they didn't do. I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled ...”Irony was used as satire in this proposal, he exaggerated a lot in this, seems things in his own way. ”

Satire

The word Satire in my words basically means someone might be making fund of something or someone. I would take the word as an attitude towards someone you don't like or just want to pick on.
Satire used in school would be like a group of girls standing around and another girl that one of the girls dont like walks in. The girl that dont like the other girls might try to make fund of the girl just to make her friends laugh at her foolish act.

*The Glorious Revolution*

Reading The Glorious Revolution, which was explaining how the glorious revolution was discovered. When Charles died, his brother James II took the throne. James was a catholic so many people were not fund of that. Some people belived that the Roman Catholic set fire and caused disater to London and they were thinking about letting Pope run the country. James "queen" had a little boy and they went to France and that's when the The Glorious Revolution was accomplish. James daughter was nexted in line and her and her husband being childless, her sister Anne was next. Anne had many of kids but none of them survived, so Anne cousin George had to become King.

The reason why the event was so important, was because people didnt have to worry about a Catholic being on the throne anymore. People felt that Catholics were trouble and blamed them for everything that might had went bad. (Ex. London being set on fire and other disasters.)
