Hi bloggers,
today is Guy Fawkes day where we are able to celebrate by buying fireworks and having fun lighting them up and watching them explode in the sky with all the beautiful colours and listening to the loud pops in the air.
But did you ever wonder why it is called Guy Fawkes Day?
It actually has an interesting story behind it about a man called Guy Fawkes who plotted to kill the mean king by blowing him up with gunpowder.
You should look it up and tell me what you think of Guy Fawkes.
GUY FAWKES
Questions and Answers
1.What was the plan?
The plan was to blow up the castle and kill the king.
2.Why were the plotters upset?
Because the king was treating them bad and was mad at what they believed.
3.How did they get caught?
Guy Fawkes and some of his friends who plotted to blow up the king planned to blow him up during a parliament meeting. But that would mean that innocent people would also die and some of the plotters didn't think that was right. So, one of them wrote his brother a letter to tell him of their plan and then the letter was passed on to the kings guards.
4.How do I think about the actions of those involved in the plot?
I think that they acted evil because they could go up to the king and talk and even if he doesn't listen it's nothing to kill someone about. But i think the plotter who wrote the letter to save innocent people did the right thing in the end.
5. What do I think about Guy Fawkes and his plan?
I think that it is was too overboard. Wanting to kill someone is bad and there is no good reason for it. Even that person is mean. God doesn't like that because it's sinful. It is the wrong thing to do.
