Torture and Punishment

Torture and punishment during elizabethan times


In elizabethan times torture was a normal everyday thing. Torture has been used for at least 2,000 years. When Queen Elizabeth had the throne torture was used more than in any time in history. Treason was considered the worst crime, lords and high officials were exempt and women almost never got tortured. The Punishments for crimes differ, like for poisoning you got boiled alive. And for adultery women get put in the dunking chair and are repeatedly dunked until dead. And some minor cruelties include the pillory, the stocks, and the ranks.

the graveyard book

The graveyard book by Neil Gaiham. I liked the book. It was unique. I mean there were tons of stuff in it like monsters, ghosts, ghouls, and murders. the story goes there was this family that was murdered except for the baby boy who wonders in a graveyard. the ghost of his parents arrive and the ask the ghosts to care for him and so they do. He grows up in the graveyard and learns the ways of the ghost there, like how to fade and cause fear. He also learns about other creatures like the hounds of god. The book is good if you like ghost and monsters. also the book is 320 pages long.

shiver book review

I extremely liked the book shiver. It was different then other books I have read. Shiver is by Maggie Stiefvater. It is a awesome book about a girl named Grace and a boy named Sam.Grace was attacked by wolves when she was younger but they weren't ordinary wolves. and same stopped the wolves and saved her and he has loved her ever since but all she remembers is the wolf that stopped it. Then when they get older Sam gets shot and changes back to a human. Then they have to find a way for him to stay human or he will be a wolf forever.The book switches back and forth from Sam to Grace. And you get both perspectives. the books about 400 pages goes by quick. If you like twilght you'll love this book.

gay marriage

I think we should talk about gay marriage in class because I have my opinions on it and I would like to hear other people's. I wouldn't try to change theirs but I would defend mine. Also it seems to be a big subject and I think if the country is talking about it so should we. I mean we should know what is going on in the country shouldn't we?

Ann Turner poem

"I am the pig" by Ann Turner

I am the pig
And you are the wolf
waiting at the door
to gobble me up
and chew on my bones,
then spit me out
and nobody is big enough
or fast enough
or sees enough
to keep it from
happening.

This poem relates to the book Speak because in the book Melinda Sordino was raped and nobody knew it happened and now the guy tortures her at school and nobody knows why see is the way she is.
