The Goodman of Paris suggests that his wife should always beware that the husband will make mistakes, but when he does she should always just look past it treat him well regardless. He also says that the wife should always comfort the husband and only keep your attention on him and no other man. The Goodman of Paris thinks that the wife should definitely be under the husband and that he should have all the power in the house. He even says, " The first particular saith that you shall be obedient." The wife of bath thinks that the woman should control majority of the aspects of marriage, she says that the husband owes the wife a debt so he must make it up to her by basically slaving away for the wife.

I think that e-cigs will lead to the eventual use of regular cigarettes because e-cigs are way more expensive than a pack of cigarettes. If e-cigs become cheaper and more affordable than regular cigarettes then i think it will be less likely. But right now i believe that it will lead to the eventual use of cigarettes because when people are short on money and they need an affordable source of nicotine then they will transfer to not only using the e-cig but buying regular cigarettes too.I think that the e-cigs should be regulated by the FDA because if not the use will get out of hand and may lead to something worse.If the FDA doesn't regulate the e-cigs then teens will most likely become more likely to start smoking e-cigs due to the hype and popularity behind it.

March 14, 2014 Divine Right of Kings

The document is saying that Kings have the right to be in this position because they are divinely chosen by God himself. Most of the literature we have read about this time period definitely supports that this was true back then. The mindset of King is made that they think they are way better than people who aren't royal like them. Especially the fact that the Kings believe that God chose them out of everyone else it really blew their head up.

Both of the text add a lot of exaggeration to what they were pointing out, in the Flying Spaghetti text he said that the spaghetti monster has special clothes and that he is invisible and can walk through matter. He also said that the cause of global warming was the cause of the decrease in the pirate population. I think that they were both trying to say that the idea that they were writing about were crazy in a sense and kind of ridiculous, i think they were successful because it makes sense and they made it in a funny way. It makes you see that in a real life situation that what they are talking about seems really out of the line. I don't think that anything should be off limits to satirists because it would defeat the whole purpose of them being what they are. I think some jokes may not be funny to someone personally but it might be to other people.
