ROMANTICS

I want to give more information about Romantics. Initially, the most important thing of Romantics was feeling. Feeling, senses and imagination were everything for them. They ignored reason and formal rules in their works. Also, spontaneous overflow of feeling is used in the works by them and nature was inspiration for their works. They respected ones who moved according to feelings. Besides, the innocent people were children and loony according to them. Finally, they supported human rights, individualism, freedom in their works.

WHY DID ROBINSON CRUSOE KEEP A DIARY?

He kept a diary because he wanted to write his experiences in the island. He wrote everything that he lived. The diary was both his friend and his past & future. He was busy with it. Sometimes he talked with it while there wasn't Friday, because he would need to talk with anyone. So, the diary was everything for him. May be, when he left from island, he wanted something which would remember his life in the island. 

ROBINSON CRUSOE

How would you behave when you first met Friday if you were in Robinson's condition?

I want to answer this question. If I were Robinson, I would do the same thing because people want to communicate with someone. Especially, if you were alone in an island, you would need more one to comminicate. So, I would teach my language and I would be a friend with him. Besides, because I would need one who would help me, I would provide to obey me. And, I would think that leaving from the island was easier when we were together.


A MODEST PROPOSAL

It was written by Jonathan Swift in 1729. He wrote this proposal in order to prevent children in Ireland. He was towards the country because people in Ireland were used slaves by English. He gave more suggestions to achieve this. When I first heard, I was very shock because his suggestions were quite interesting. For example, he supported that babies should be used  nutrients. After they had been grown up certain age, they can be killed and they can be used nutrients. So, economy of the country increases and babies provide this instead of giving nutrients from other countries. Besides, this provides that parents take fewer responsibilities because parents will have fewer children. Finally, this provides that importance of women increases. Men care about women because they have babies. As we have seen, his ideas are interesting but they provide to understand lacks of the country.


PARADISE LOST

Firstly, I want to give some information about Paradise Lost. Then, I will talk about why the God placed forbidden fruit in the Heaven.  

Paradise Lost is an epic poem. It was written by John Milton. It consists of 10 books. It is about being expelled of Adam and Eve because of forbidden fruit. Satan cheated on them in order to revenge from the God, and he achieved this. Finally, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Heaven.


Why did the God place forbidden fruit in the Heaven? I think, although the God knew the result of this, the God wanted to test Adam and Eve. Also, The God wanted to see whether he and she obey or disobey. Unfortunately, Adam and Eve were deceived by Satan and they ate the forbidden fruit. So, the God saw that Adam and Eve disobeyed. May be, the God created the world before existing Adam and Eve. The God placed forbidden fruit deliberately in order to provide going of Adam and Eve to the world. So, the God planned this.
