1. Nature over human-made.
2. Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, just like the surrounds and the outside give good descriptions which allow the reader to really imagine the countryside. Also The World is Too Much with Us. Also the work o Shelly Ozymandias and Ode to the West wind.
3. " O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, ike ghosts form an enchanter fleeing", (Ode to The West Wind). My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing Beside remains", (Ozymandias).
4. I really feel that these writers wrote the way they did was just simply the fact of what time period they were in, and also who were their influences you know. Those people played a huge role in everything. The theme I choose is highly represented in the works of the romantics I mean the whole nature over man made. It completely makes sense though. Man made things will break down and crumble while nature will last forever.

romanticism
1. Yes I do agree with the Romantics. I believe if you follow your emotions then you'll always make the correct decisions.
2. The Tyger and The Lamb represent human innocence and experience. The thing is the more experiences have the more innocence you loose. It seems its a loose loose situation.
3. Yes I do agree with Woodsworth, it seems all people not all people but a majority are really materialistic. They want money the go and blow it on things, sometimes they don't even really know.
4. The last vivid dream I had was that I was in school in some far away town, and all the kids I attend school with now were there and the school flooded, and we were all going to drown to our deaths, but right when I was going to die I woke up.

blake burns Graham Luber
1. It seems in his two poems there is dialect that is from Scotland, where Blake Burns is from. He writes these poems to show extent of Scottish influence.
2. Both of the poems talk about being alive and living with another, an that it is important to enjoy life while you can. It goes against the age of reason and the logic to justify everything done.
3. It's a hill or stands for difficult times ahead.
4. He grew up in a very visionary household, in which he shows this in his poetry.
5. It seems they both are in the same structure, one shows human experience, and the other shows the innocence in human life. It seems Blake believes these two are the halves of the human soul.
6. He basically tells that rural verse urban surroundings is that he associates the rural with being open and free of the burdens of city life. Romanticism is about being open minded and being free and like one with earth.

The Romantic Era
1. The Romantic Era started in 1785 and it ended in 1832. As a rebellion against the rational, orderly form of Neoclassicsim. It contrasted with the fact due to it was emotion over reason, nature over human artifice.
2. King George the third his antagonistic policies toward the American colonies were directly responsible for the American Revolution. Napolean Bonaparte and the French army were defeated by the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo in 1815.
3. Thomas Gray a lifelong scholar was not a prolific poet, but the few poems he wrote reflect a combination of Neoclassical and Romantic ideals.
Robert Burns won acclaim as the national poet of Scotland. Burns avoided the formal restrained language of the Neoclassical writers and used instead his native Scottish dialect. The use of everyday speech in literature shocked some of Burn's contemporaries, but it endeared Burns to the rural and working classes.
William Blake was a poet, painter, mystic, and visionary, much of Blakes writies is an attack on a the complacent rationality and orerliness of the Enlightenment.
4. The formation of lyrical Ballads.
5. Are long stories containing elements of suspense, mystery, magic, and the macabre, with the exotic settings.
6. A novel of manners.

Pride and Prejudice
1. I think Elizabeth had the pride and Darcy has the pride.
2. The fact that woman cannot own land and manage a household. That you have to marry in to a family.
3. Like when they are all at the dances and in the kitchen and Elizabeth turns down the offer of marriage.
4. To take the hand of man in marriage and be he husband, its not about love, its about financial and political compatibilities. The woman didn't have as much say in marriage, the really just needed to get married to thrive and live on and not he a burden on their parents.
5. That arranged marriages aren't for the best, and that its all really about true love. An that beingn arranged to marry some one puts on a lot of pressure.

Candide Blog Graham Luber
1. Well it starts off with Candide be taught various subjects at the barons castle. Unfortunately he had a little smoochin session withe the baron's daughter Cundegonde and was kicked out of the castle. After leaving and nearly freezing to death he gets good fortune and is put into a regiment of troops. Then on one fine day he decides to take a walk and he is beaten for it, the pardoned by the King then goes to battle and flees to a few villages that are burned down then decides to go to Holland. Where he meets a man and he is asked if he is thinks the pope is anti- christe and he says no and is told to leave. Afterwards he meets a man who gives him bread and two coins and some old brew then he runs into his old professor back from the barons castle and he is no a homeless beggar.
2. He is almost stating that what goes around comes around. Or one day you have good fortune and the next its all gone.
3. That governments make rules and live by others not even following the ones that the set for themselves. About religion is that some people can't accept others faith, the have to brandish them for what ever reason.
4. Now he is homeless toothless and a beggar.
5. I agree and disagree sometimes things do happen for the best but what if you want a different out come then what you get I think you should have the power to influence it by what ever means necessary.

Luber/Graham/Gulliver's Travels
Lili putations - It seems like Swift is trying to point out that humans squabble over the simplest of things. I believe the issue there was that mankind can blow something up to make it seem like a real serious deal. Some ways I believe thats how wars and feuds are started. The details it points out is that the people there will go to any extreme to exterminate the other clan. To me the movie had a blatant way of pointing out the flaws. I think having real live actors act it out conveys a more deep message than just reading. This movie really did make me think about human kind and what we can do to better ourselves as a whole society.

Graham Luber
1. The tone he uses is like matter of fact and dead serious with the subject. Maybe if I was around with him he would be serious all the time and just be so literal. Yes the point is a little odd but he is really getting to the point.
2. He starts off with the problems, and then he goes on to the solutions.
3. Ireland is way to over populated, all his problems seem logical.
4. A children is a nuisance and the mothers don't care about them anymore.
5. My initial reaction was not a good one I felt disgusted about what I had read.
6. I dont think so , I don't for see anyone eating their children.
7. When someone comes up with something like this so that you'll cherish something that belongs to you more dearly.
8. Your instincts should come into play, to influence your decision.

Graham Luber's Restoration blog
1. It was when Charles II became king in 1660, and ending the Protestant interregnum. It also included that Monarchy was restored and Parliament was meeting again.
2. There was a significant political change in th 17th century, King George had prime minister Robert Walpole had formed the cabinet system of ministers chosen from Parliament to aid the king. This would set forth a precedent for the future.
3. It was called the era of Enlightenment or age of reason because people like Sir Isaac Newton had come up with heavy theories on how laws of motion and gravity all came into play. Immanuel Kant had a philosophy held that knowledge is a combination of sensation and understanding. John Locke who was a writer, doctor, and philosopher published the Two Treatises of Government which disputed the divine right of kings and popularized the idea of natural rights.
4. Neoclassicists is when the people of the Enlightenment era rediscovered classic works of the ancient greeks and romans. The neoclassical literature made use of classical forms of allusions and promoted ideals of harmony, tradition, and reason.
5. Age of Dryden, the Age of Opope, and the Age of Johnson. The Age of Dryden began with teh restoration of the monarchy and ended with the death of writer John Dryden. Dryden wrote many plays, poems, and essays. He is famous for "Mac Flecknoe" which is an epic because of its grand scope and lofty language.
The Age of Pope also called the Augustan age was the peak of period of Neoclassicism. The work of Alexander Pope an admired poet of his time, was representative of his style of employing wit, rationality and balance in his poetry.
The age of Johnson named after Samuel Johnson the most famous writer of his generation, brideges the span between the Enlightenment and the Romantic Age. Johnson who was a master of many forms of writing include poetry, literary criticism and prose fiction.

Puritans/Cavalier
1. Puritans were more reserved people, very religious and were very calm and up tight it seems like.
The cavaliers on the other hand lived for today, were more open minded, and in a sense of more freedom and the power to do as they please.
2. Well the contrast by the fact that puritans were more classy and proper as the Cavaliers were more open minded people and freedom.
3. Paradise Lost is a good example of Puritan writing along with The Pilgrim's Progress. Good example of a Cavalier style writing would be To Althea, from Prison.
4. I would associate my self more with being a Cavalier cause you should live for today since you may never know when it could be your last.

Pastoral Blog and Rural living
To tell the truth , I love the country side but living here all my life, I'm going insane I hate small towns. Anything under ten thousand is to small. I love the thrill of the city, and just the hustle and the bustle that goes along with all the people. Benefits of a small town are that is very safe for instance. Also you get to know people quite well. The drawbacks is that there isn't very many people for instance (dating). Then there is the shopping which you cant get a whole lot of O'Neill. There isn't much to do on the weekends for teenagers. I plan on living in a rural area right outside of a huge urban area if possible, or I would live in a urban area which is fine for me.

GrahaM Luber crossfire
1. Disagree I would say that our fate is not predetermined and that we have the power to change it however we so choose to do.
2. Agree I believe that power holds something in it that captures something in everyones mind. "With great power comes great responsibilities ", Uncle Ben.
3. Disagree, I can see people who would get sick of power and those that would do just do about anything to maintain.
4. Disagree depends on the crime I would say, and the severity of the crime.
5. Agree if you commit murder then you should receive what you did as a punishment.
Our fate is never predetermined and dont let anyone ever tell you differently. If your capable of making your own decisions then you can choose your own fate as well. I really hate it when people say its my fate to do what my parents want me to do live your life as you want to live it. You only live once so live your life to the fullest make the most of everything.
If you were to murder someone i think that, the penalty should be death in return. Basic Karma what goes around comes around. Or and eye for an eye, there really should never be an excuse for murder unless its in self defense. Then we few exempts there it would be permitable.
