__Do Now "Absolute Ruler"__ Absolute ruler is someone who has the power to control everyone and there's no chance of a tyranny taking over. They have the power to pass their own laws and do as they please. God gave them their powers.

__Some absolute ruler country__ Afganistan France England Spain Russia Germany China Japan Italy Mali (Africa)

__What I see in the video__ King Louis XIV throne Loyal on first floor others below The massive space The court The garden etc The statues on top of the tower

__P.I.C. Louis XIV__ Purpose: How Louis XIV became king at young age and an absolute rule Important ideas: absolute monarchy in France - in charge of all military, political, economic initiatives - Nobles declined further (grew poorer) Connections: absolute power (monarch or tyranny) will want people to over throw time

__absolute power HW__ If I was the absolute leader I would be able to down myself in my money everyday. I will not have to step foot down on the ground, ever. Wherever I go, I have servants to carry me. I don't do heavy work. I only party and treat my servants with cruelty to show who is the boss. I would pass rules to benefit me and help me become richer. I would have many husband and make them my slave. I would order people to make food that I can't finish, but I won't give away the left overs. I would throw it in the trash. I will show who is boss and torture my prisoners from time to time.

__Do Now "September 11"__ - In AP English we were reading a speech on 9/11 by George Bush - I remember I was in 1st grade when that happen, I never knew other placed got attacked other than NY - I think most religion are hypocritical - What is the purpose of terrorizing America? To bring it down? Because they want more power? Or is it anger and greed?

__What do I think satire is base on the video clip__ A funny way of portraying something serious

actual definition: making fon of something without doing it directly

__enlightenment:__ - the change of belief through proof and science not by absolute rulers


 * __9.13.10__**

__Do now "characteristics of enlightened thinker"__ - base thinking on science and philosophy through thinking, lit, art, inventing - doesn't believe God word is law - doesn't relate to religion - educated - leadership - open minded

Scientific revolution - advances in science causes enlightened thinker

American Revolution -That was a cute short clip that summarizes the major points of the American Revolution. Which was basically the battle between America and the Red Coats(British) - What went on was the Boston tea party were the Americans dressed up as Indians and dumped the tea into the harbor. I find that funny because even if they did dress up as Indians the British would've known that the Americans did it. -The video is is really funny the way it's portrayed through the kids.

__French Revolution__ -Started in 1789, a revolt started with the 3rd estate wanting to move up, gain some rights and benefits. It was an era of changes and the enlightment thinkers rose during this time revolting over the Roman Catholic Church. King LouisXVI was execuited in 1793. The battle of Bastille took place

__**9.21**__ 1. religion and philosophy 2. an inventor 3. a reowned ruler 4. female roles 5. black history

The french economy was split up into 3 estates. The 1st esates being the monarchy and clergy, the 2nd esates were nobles, and the 3rd consisted of commoners and peasants. People cannot move up towards the esates. It was unfair because the 3rd estate pays the most taxes compared to the 1st and 2nd. 33% 1st and 2nd estate and 97%estate. Each estate only get 1 vote. 1st and 2nd estate always agree outruling the 3rd esate. Therefore French government were govern by the 1st and 2nd esates.
 * __9.22__**

1st esate - Priests/bishops/nuns/monks 2nd estate - nobles (born into it) doesn't equal rich 3rd estate - poor, business owners, merchants

The french revolution began with the 1st and 2nd estate having too much power and the 3rd estate having none. The 1st and 2nd estates were abusing their power causing the 3rd estate to suffer. (Like paying higher taxes) The 3rd estate revolted starting the french revolution in hoping to change the power rights.

I believe that the 3rd estate were the good "people" in the war because they're doing this to change their status, for equal rights (similar to America). There is nothing wrong in wanting equal rights when one set of group is being pushed to their limitations and having no where to go. If I was living in the 3rd estate, I too would revolt against the other 2 estates to gain my rights, not for myself but for others. The 3rd estate wanted to establish a new french government where the powers are shared among the 3 estates not just the other 2 alone.

__**9.24.10 hw**__ Comparing my prior knowledge with the knowledge that I gain from reading the storming battle of Bastille, I knew very little about it. I didn't know the certain type of people that was involved such as Marquis de Launay. I didn't know that the main reason was for gun powder, I always thought that it was for something like taking over that territory because it can benefit the people during the revolution. I also didn't know that there were injustice beheading of the 2nd or 1st estate. I didn't know that the 3rd estate went on a rampage and killed those who were a part of the Marquis regardless if they're good or just a bystander, they were still killed with injustice. I guess the only prior knowledge that I had with the battle was of it's "cruelty" of punishment, imprisonment and death. I didn't know that there was another reason to it and what went on behind it.
