During the romantic period the French Revolution happened. The rising prices in bread were leaving a lot of people in France hungry. The king doesn’t do anything to fix this and his wife spends more and more of the nation’s wealth away on jewelry and other non important things. So they sieged a fort and beheaded the king and queen. They then abolished feudalism.
In England around the romantic period the industrial revolution happened. Which started with the invention of powered machinery. Also with a lot commoners losing work in as farmers because nobles bought up lots of land for themselves many people were moving in to the cities. With the new machines they were able to make clothing cheaper. This changed a lot of the view people had.
It seemed that like during this time the people faced so many changes from the old life. Unlike with the renaissance which was the bring back of the arts. These changes were in the change of living and government. It was more about how they lived instead of what they thought.
One of the main things the romantics thought was that nature was prefect. So nature should be the example that people follow. So that is what a lot of them wrote about and used nature to compare people to.
Also they liked to write a lot about happier things instead of depressing tragedies like they did before. That it was to express peoples thoughts.
Little lamb, who made thee?Dost thou know who made thee?Gave thee life, and bid thee feedBy the stream and o'er the mead;Gave thee clothing of delight,Softest clothing, woolly, bright;Gave thee such a tender voice,Making all the vales rejoice?Little lamb, who made thee?Dost thou know who made thee?
Hes asking the lamb if he knows how he was made and why it grows its fur. It should be happy because it gets it gifts for free from nature.
It talks about how nature takes care of stuff on its own for all that people need. That is why this is a good example of romanticism. It shows that nature is its own and takes care of its own.
Composed upon Westminster Bridge
He looks out and sees the city and finds it beautiful. In the morning light it is fine and he can see everything. He then compares it to things in nature like valleys, rocks and hills and this makes him clam in the morning.
It just says how beautiful it looks. How if you compare it to nature it is even better. That is what I seemed like made it mostly a romantic poem I think.
So we’ll go no more a-roving
As with everything he grows out of his partying. As he says like a sword outwears its sheath that basically everything grows out of what it does. That it finally happened to him.
As for romanticism it fits it as it talks about the natural order of things. Like how everything grows out of something that it was natural. Also how he compares night to day light to moon so like his life also is part of the style.
England in 1819
The poem is what is wrong with what is going on in England in that time. Like in line 7 it talks about how innocent people were killed. How the nobility don’t care because they don’t know and can’t see what is really going on in the country how bad it is.
I don’t see a lot of things that stick out as romanticism at least not as much as the other poems. The main thing I see is how it talks about things could be better if you treat things in a better order I think.
When I Have Fears
What he’s saying is he’s afraid he might die before he finishes his work. That he won’t be able to write all he wants to write "that I may cease to be before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain." Also that he will be able to look at his love because he will be dead.
Like the poem before the romanticism doesn’t jump out at me. Besides that he makes a lot of comparisons to nature like "when I behold, upon the night’s starred face" or huge cloudy symbols of a high romance."
Victorian
One the big things that was happening was that England had expended its empire so that over 200 million people outside side of Great Britain were under its control. This gave England a lot more resources that it didn’t have already. Also opened up people minds more to the people they had under their control.
Another thing was the rise of the middle class. The industrial revolution effects were still being felt and through it some people were able to rise to middle class. So the standard of living was thought to have been increased through these years.
It would have been very dirty I think for a normal person to live back then seeing how the commoners were living like 20 to a room at times. Working 12 hour shifts just to get by in life. If you were part of the new middle class or of nobility I think it would have been pretty nice. If you weren’t one of these kind of people I think it wouldn’t be that nice of a time.
The biggest difference I think is that people were held to a higher standard I think. Like it was more uptight, especially with the women. The clothing everyone had to wear was much more formal it seemed. How people had to act was very different and more polite.
One of the main things with Victorian literature was to ask question and raise doubts in people. Not about how beautiful the world is or how things were perfect. More so about things that were right or wrong. If something was true or if your life isn’t as good as your thought it was.
Another was that materialist ideas over looked the spirit or soul. They weren’t what made life just and beautiful. They were just hold people back and they shouldn’t be worried about stuff like that.
Crossing the bar page 782
This one was the one I could understand the best. So I think that would make it the best I could find. I like what he’s saying about it. Like how he wants no one to mourn when he finally dies. "And may there be no sadness of farewell," line 11. He doesn’t fear the death that he know is coming it sees to me.
He wasn’t really questioning anything that I could see. He though was talking about a peace of things even if he does die. He is just going to greet it as something natural. "I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar"
Meeting at night page 805
He walks in the night at first just describing the terran. The thing he is going for the farm, which he gets to. He taps on the door which someone answers and they are trying to be secret about it.
The secretness of this I think deals a lot with the time period because women were surpose to be pure and if they have sex before they were married were the fallen and looked down a pon by others. "A voice less loud, though its joys and fears," shows that she was trying to be secret about it.
requiescat page 815
Its about a lady dying but not being sad that she is dying. She is actually happy and peaceful as shes does "she bathed it in the smiles of glee"
I think that the death is coming and you should accept it is the main victoroian in this poem. like how each it is a part of people and should be accepted as best as it can be.
drummer hodge 840
what I think this poem is about is how this guy drummer hodge was killed during the Boer. It explains how young he was "Young Hodge the drummer never knew-- fresh form his Wessex home".
How real it is what I think that ties it to Victorian. How he rights about something so real about a young boy dying in a war. Also not really making it into a tradgey I think is a big thing why its Victorian.

resteration
After James I died his son Charles I took the throne but after 24 years he was beheaded. Charles II fled and hid in France afterwards. Fore eleven years the country was ruled by parliament then Charles II returned. After he died his brother James II took over he then had a catholic son so the people were worried to have another catholic king so they got William of Orange to try and take over England because he was married to James II protestant daughter Mary. So when William went to try and take the crown from James II, James fled to France. And William and Mary were accepted into England as King and Queen with out a fight.
Satire is like making fun of how people are in a sarcastic way so that people could think what you were saying you meant. A lot of popular comedy shows today us satire as their whole idea. Family Guy and The Simpson’s are the two biggest examples that come to my mind. As they make fun of all common people.
It throws you off at the beginning because he talks so serious as well as throws in a lot of facts as if it was real scientific study. When he finally says his idea of eating children it really does sound like he’s being serious but later you can tell he’s using satire. He is making fun of how the upright English people think of “lower” people.
In the diary of Samuel Pepys it is him just writing about cretin days of his life. Just through his eyes. It shows what it is like through a normal person eyes back then. Not just a fictionally story from someone else’s view. Like during a public execution he talked about how it was in the crowd like the great shouts of joy he said.
He then was part of the famous Great Fire of London. He apparently woke up at first and thought little of it and went back to sleep but then woke up again to find it spreading. So he then leaves and sees all the people leaving the fire and how it engulfed peoples homes.
During this time what was really important was that people liked to trust facts, instead of what people just think. That is very important because it changed a lot of the writing that people came up with. Also people questioned a lot more of what has been said for a long time.

After I got everything set up with trixbox the Ethernet card wasn’t working properly so I wasn’t getting a IP for the server so I wasn’t able to connect to the web site. So I called up Richard to ask him how to fix it. We went though a good amount of commands to try and get it to work but it still wasn’t. we event tried reinstalling it but it still didn’t work. So he scheduled the next appointment for me to bring in my pc on Thursday.

11/30/07 12:00pm
He was sick Thursday so he told me to come back Friday. I came in to his office with my PC. We got it my PC running in his office and I loaded up the server program. As we worked on the VM server we got it working for the most part but since I run off of a modem directly at home instead of a router so it has a hard time coming up with another IP for the separate machine so it doesn’t come up. So at my house unless I get a router I can’t have the VM server up and running on the web because it can’t form its own IP. So after numerous small tries we were unable to change the settings to change.

When I first got there we first talked about what I planned on doing. Once we got that figured out we just needed to find the best way to show how a server worked. He came up with either make a PC from spare parts and install software on it to act like a server or to install a virtual machine on my PC. Which is basically like making another computer on my computer and installing server software on the separate PC. I decided to go with the Virtual Machine idea because it would be the easiest to do.
After that we had to download the programs to do this as well as install them while waiting we talked about which type of server we should do. Also I got to witness what he does for work, which is a lot of web site designing. Once we got the programs installed he showed me how to run the Virtual Machine and explained that its like having a separate PC in your PC. We then got the Linux OS installed on the VM. We then got the OS to start up a telephone server just to show what it can do. We were able to set up a out going line for a telephone after working on the scripts. So we could call anyone on the phone connected to his computer. After learning some of the Linux commands we got the VM player and the Linux TrixBox server programs burned on a DVD. While this was going on we talked about all the types of servers I could run on my computer. He said with trixbox OS I could run a database server, a voice of ip server, or a web server and how each one could be used as a product. After that he showed me how to mess with each one through the VM/trixbox. After that the DVD was done he said for me to play with it at home to determine which one I want to do.
1:15pm
6:10 pm
When I got home and tried to use the DVD the files weren’t working so I called him and explained what the error was. He then went over what it could be and we were trying to fix it. After about eight tries of trying to change the files to have them work he decided it would be better just to re download the files because it was probably the DVD that was corrupt so he then told me to go to the right sites to download the files then where to properly install them. Then he helped me change the settings on the trixbox so that it could run with out being on a router. After that he had to go and I got it running

When I arrived at his office I went over all that I did and we decided that it would be best to do a web server once that was done we had to get the script we needed to use. We decided on using a image hosting because it would be easiest to show how its working and how other people can us this web site. We then had to upload this script on to his own website as well as change it into a Linux format. After doing this we uploaded it onto our server. After that we had to set all the permissions for everyone to use on the web. Which to get into those settings we had to navigate around with the Linux commands. We then got it finally up and working he showed me exactly how everything was connected on a dry erase board. Which is a person by typing in the Ip address or host name to go to the website Apache takes this request sends it through php. The php sends it to the server which is trixbox, trixboxs then sends the user HTML which is what you see from websites. So all I had to do at home was set everything else up the same as he did then get all those steps connected and I have my own image hosting website on my pc.

Medieval
1. The Squire is the son of The Knight. He fought in battles but is a dandy. He is kind of feminine. “All full of fresh-cut flowers red and white. Singing he was, or whistling, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May”
2. The Knight strong yet noble knight, he fought in many battles all over Europe. “At Alexandria, in the winning battle he was there; Often put in the place of honour, a chair.”
3. The Yeoman is neat, orderly and proud. A Christopher medal on his breast of silver sheen. He bore a horn, the baldric all of green;
4. The Prioress is very prim and proper. Also she’s nice and pure. “Graciously she reached for food to dine. And certainly delighting in good sport, She was very pleasant, amiable - in short. She was in pains to imitate the cheer”
5. The monk is an outdoors person. He hunts and doesn’t seem to be old fashion like most monks. By reason it was somewhat old and strict, This same monk let such old things slowly pace And followed new-world manners in their place
6. The clerk is a educated man. He went to oxford and studied philosophy. He is also really skinny. Who'd studied philosophy, long ago. As lean was his horse as is a rake,
7. The sergeant of law is hard working but also good at pretending he is working. “Nowhere a man so busy of his class, And yet he seemed much busier than he was”
8. The Franklin was a well to do man. He eats a lot and doesn’t seem too kind. “Woe to his cook, unless the sauces were Poignant and sharp, and ready all his gear. His dining table, waiting in his hall,”
9. The Sailor lives outside of the town by himself. He doesn’t seem the most honest person there is. “Very often he took a draught of wine, Of Bordeaux vintage, while the trader slept. Nice conscience was a thing he never kept.”
10. The Physician based his study off of astronomy and based his cures off of it. Is greedy and not very religious “Since gold in physic is a cordial, Therefore he loved his gold exceeding all. His study was but little on the Bible.”
11. The Miller he is be and hairy. He’s not an honest guy to be doing business with. “But mostly all of sin and obscenity. He could steal corn and three times charge his fee;”
12. The Manciple is a trader who is vulgar man but very well to do. “Now is it not of God's very fair grace That such a vulgar man has wit to pace The wisdom of a crowd of learned men?”
13. The Reeve is very skinny and a farmer. “There was no agent, herd, or servant who'd cheat; He knew too well their cunning and deceit; They were afraid of him as of the death.”
The story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is about how the Green Knight comes to King Arthur’s court and asks them are they really pure. He keeps questioning them, till the point the knights get mad. Finally Gawain takes his challenge to prove that he really is a pure knight. Gawain fails in killing The Green Knight so he has to come to him in a year to have his head cut off. He does this but on the way he isn’t totally honest with another nobleman. So when he comes to have his head cut off from the Green Knight he gets only a cut on his neck. Only because he isn’t a totally pure not but close.
The story shows how important chivalry was back then and how people would try so hard to get it. It also shows that some people pretended they were pure knights and that people weren’t perfect. All though you shouldn’t just stop trying to be perfect that you should always try to be the perfect knight.

sonnets
The way Shakespeare writes his sonnets rhyme scheme is that after each quatrain, it breaks up each by starting new rhymes. They aren’t connected at all so it doesn’t flow that well. Spencer’s though he connects each quatrain which makes the poem flow much more. I like Spencer a lot more because it connects each part together, instead of starting and stopping.
In Shakespeare’s he’s asking if he should compare someone to a summer’s day but decides he shouldn’t because the person is better. In the second point of view he says that a summer’s day can be bad because it can be too bright. The turn he talks about that the person will remain eternal and never loss his beauty. The conclusion is the person is eternal through his writing.
In the question Spencer is asking why do I love you so much when they are so much opposites. The view he’s explaining how she is so different then him. In the turn he explains that naturally they shouldn’t even be able to existence with each other. The conclusion he says that love doesn’t follow nature because it is more powerful.
Sonnet 75 Edmund Spenser
One day I wrote her name upon the strand, A
But came the waves and washed it away: B
Again I wrote it with a second hand, A
But came the tide, and made my pains his prey. B
He’s saying that when he tries to write her name it always eventually goes away no matter how many times he trys.
Vain man, said she, that doest in vain assay B
A mortal thing so to immortalize, C
For I myself shall like to this decay, B
And eek my name be wiped out likewise. C
The women tells him it’s a mortal thing to try and make something immortal and that she will decay like everything else.
Not so (quoth I), let baser things devise C
To die in dust, but you shall live by fame: D
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize, C
And in the heavens write your glorious name. D
He replies that only the basic things decay and that she isn’t basic because she will live forever through this poem.
Where whenas Death shall all the world subdue, E
Out love shall live, and later life renew. E
That our love will never die.
William ShakespeareSonnet 39
O, how thy worth with manners may I sing, AWhen thou art all the better part of me? BWhat can mine own praise to mine own self bring? AAnd what is 't but mine own when I praise thee? B
The person is my better part of me. So I can’t praise you with out parsing my self
Even for this let us divided live, CAnd our dear love lose name of single one, DThat by this separation I may give CThat due to thee which thou deservest alone. D
Let us go away so I can praise you with what you deserve
O absence, what a torment wouldst thou prove, EWere it not thy sour leisure gave sweet leave FTo entertain the time with thoughts of love, EWhich time and thoughts so sweetly doth deceive, F
While your gone it torments me but while were gone we love each other more.
And that thou teachest how to make one twain, G By praising him here who doth hence remain! G
Let us make us two, one
What is this Vestige
Is it just a name for a group
Or is it united by a liege
Or does it go in a endless loop?
When it sends the troops
With disciple unmatched
In victory their isn’t even a whoop
Even if they aren’t scratched
Yet if the soldiers are dispatched
Then are they really so prestigious
As if this ideal were attached
Yet they keep their stance of aegis
Alone they stand with such prestige
Are respected by all that is Vestige

While your gone it torments me but while were gone we love each other more.
And that thou teachest how to make one twain, G By praising him here who doth hence remain! G
Let us make us two, one
What is this Vestige
Is it just a name for a group
Or is it united by a liege
Or does it go in a endless loop?
When it sends the troops
With disciple unmatched
In victory their isn’t even a whoop
Even if they aren’t scratched
Yet if the soldiers are dispatched
Then are they really so prestigious
As if this ideal were attached
Yet they keep their stance of aegis
Alone they stand with such prestige
Are respected by all that is Vestige
Macbeth
What was very interesting to me was that a lot of people looked back to the Greek and Roman classics. This explains why artist start drawing or painting similar to the Greeks and Romans. An example of this is that a lot of paintings have nude people in then, when before that wasn’t allowed.
During the renaissance, the Catholic Church lost is almighty grip on people. This is because more people becoming literate. This allows more people to be educated to find things out on their own instead of having to have corrupt people tell them what stuff means
Scotland and Norway are at war and a big battle is under way at the beginning of the play. During the fight the Captain wonders about how the fight is going so he asks a Captain being brought off the battlefield. Since communications were limited to talking and writing so the king doesn’t know what is going on.
The Captain tells the king that Macbeth turned the battle into Scotland’s favor by himself. The king then congratulates Macbeth him doing this means he cares for his people. Then Ross comes in and says that the Thane of Cawdor has become a traitor. Since the King cares about his people he has Macbeth become the new Thane of Cawdor and has him re take it.
Macbeth comes home to his wife who tries to have him become the king. She tries to convince him to over throw the king because he is the one that is next in line now that he is the Thane of Cawdor. He doesn’t want to kill the king since the king was so generous to him.
During Act II Macbeth is debating in his mind on what to do. I thought that when he was debating on what the dagger was a big battle in his head. He was fighting over should he kill the king or should he not. Which if he did he could end up being the King. When he starts hallucinating about the dagger being bloodied he was sure he was going to kill the King.
When he came back to his wife he brought the daggers with him. This was when he wasn’t thinking right I think still. His wife didn’t like that he came back with the daggers and he refused to go back afraid of what he had done.
Then at the end Ross and an old man show how nature was important to the people in the Renaissance. They showed that if nature was acting weird then that was what was going on with people. Like nature reflects what is happening. So they thought that something very bad was going to happen because of how dark it was and that so many weird things have happened.
In the beginning of act III Banquo is wondering about the witches saying the stuff about Macbeth is true. He then wonders if his children will be kings as well. “Thou hast it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all, as the weird women promised,”
Then Macbeth talks to him and becomes worried because the witches said that Banquo’s sons would be kings and Macbeths would not. So he decides he would stop this before it happens. “Banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared”. This is where he starts to mess up a lot because he has Banquo killed and tries to have Banquo’s son killed but he gets away. So it kind of back fires and it can make him look really bad.
During his party Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo after he knows his dead. Macbeth then flips out in front of all the lords he invited to the party. Nobody else can see the ghost so they think he is crazy. This is where he basically tells on himself for killing Banquo.
Macbeth is worried because he saw the ghost of Banquo, which freaked him out. So since he was worried about him self and his power he hold. “shall Banquo’s issue ever reign in this kingdom” line 102. When he was told his future by the witches he feels sure about himself so he decides to kill Macduffs whole family. “give to th’ edge o’ th’ sword his wife, his babe, and all the unfortunate souls” line 151. Which at this point he totally losses himself in his power and losses trust in people that aren’t with him totally.
Macduff did what most were afraid to do and that was stand against Macbeth. Him going to England to try and get Malcolm to come back and take back the crown from Macbeth. This shows that he really cares about Scotland and is willing to sacrifice so much for it.
Lady Macbeth even though she is being troubled by the evil that is going on she is feeling bad I think because she has been caught. Not because it was evil and horrible what she had Macbeth did. Macbeth taking everything the witches said literally so he thought he really was invincible because they said no one born form a woman could hurt him “What’s the boy Malcolm? Was he not born of woman?” line 3 page 373. Which will be his down fall of it all.
