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.

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.
