The Gunpowder Plot

Rising Action- Peter get's placed in a hospital for mixed up kids, by his step father Buck. Peter knows he doesnt belong there and needs to find a way to leave. Climax- Peters younger brother Lincoln keeps having "real dreams" about a guy with "wings" who looks similar to Peter. Peter thinks this may be his real dad who his mom said died before he turned two. Peter has nothing more to know about him. But he is going to find away to find more. Even if it means getting caught. Falling action- Scorpio (a faculty member at the hospital) helps him find info on his dad, along with Sarah who is a patient at the hospital. Peter decides to run away from the hospital in search of his dad who he believes is still alive. Lincolns "real dreams" helps Peter find his dad, by telling him what he sees in these dreams. Such as the background, people he was with, what he was wearing, what the weather was like and etc. Scorpio gives Peter a ride all the way to seatlle, where he believes his dad is.

Catholicism and Protestantism; it was the attempt by Guy Fawkes to detonate a bomb under the English Parliament Building, killing the Protestant King of England in the process. Afterwards, he and his co-conspirators intended to put a Catholic relative of the King on the throne.

On Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, people in the UK commemorate the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Celebrations typically include lighting bonfires, setting off fireworks, and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes. Families and communities often gather for festive activities, enjoying food like toffee apples and hot drinks. The night serves as a reminder of the historical event while also providing a fun, communal atmosphere.

Guy Fawkes claiming he was just a patsy...

Oh, wait, that was Lee Harvey Oswald...(!)

(1) The gunpowder was so old that it may not have even been able to ignite, (2) there was an anonymous warning letter of betrayal sent,

(3) only Guy Fawkes (Guido) was on the scene that morning, and

(4) to celebrate the foiling of the plot, bonfires were lit that very night (!)

They were hung, drawn, and quartered.

Lord Cecil - one of King James I's most trusted friends!

The leader of the 1605 Plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament was Robert Catesby. Guy Fawkes effigy is burned on Bonfire Night each November 5th in Britain to this day. King James the 1st was the object of the attempt, the conspiritors were Catholics opposed to a Protestant King, their idea was to kill the king and the parliament, then create a new Catholic Britain but it would never have worked as only about 5% of Britain were Catholic so they would've been killed either way. So whether or not the fuse was lit, it would never have worked.

The cast of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot - 1913 includes: Caleb Porter as Guy Fawkes

Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese sometime in the 9th century AD.

Guy Fawkes was 35

In 1604 Fawkes became involved with a small group of English Catholics, led by Robert Catesby, who planned to assassinate the Protestant King James and replace him with his daughter, third in the line of succession, Princess Elizabeth

A cause of the Gun-powder plot is that Catholics in England had expected James to be more tolerant of them. In fact, he had proved to be the opposite and had ordered all Catholic priests to leave England. This so angered some Catholics that they decided to kill James and put his daughter Elizabeth on the throne ensuring that she was a Catholic. This led to a plot to kill not only the king of England, James, but also everyone sitting in the Houses of Parliament at the same time as James was there when he opened Parliament on November 5th, 1605.

yes but one of the men in his team wrote a letter to a relative who would of been in the there that day, and a guard got it. and that is how they caught Guy fawkes.

coz he was nearly about to blow up the whole of London that's why!

Gunpowder burns but it burns very quickly. It's very reactive with oxygen. When enough heat is applied, either externally or from itself, the reaction progresses very rapidly and the gunpowder "explodes."

*********

Agree in general. Gunpowder consists of a fuel and an oxidizer mixed together- it does not need additional oxygen. The original gunpowder was black powder- a "low" explosive- modern gunpowder is based on nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin- "High" explosives. When triggered by heat, the fuel and oxidizer combine rapidly, producing large quantities of hot, expanding gas. This gas pushes the bullet out of the barrel.

The Chinese used gunpowder as early as 800-1000 AD, for fireworks and later for weapons. It was not in widespread use in Europe until around the 1300s.

it is suggested that it is ralated to his play Macbeth but no one can know for sure.

Yeah, I think it is but I am not absolutely sure of that

The invention of gunpowder by the Chinese in the 9th century allowed for warfare to be carried to a greater distance (via the use of rockets, what today we would call fireworks).

The addition of a metal tube propelling a slug at high velocity (muskets, cannon and rifles) gave the individual soldier the ability to strike at the enemy more quickly and accurately, while doing greater damage as well. (Prior to this, soldiers needed to use weapons such as bows and slings, which required a great deal of both strength and skill to operate successfully.)

As with almost all military technologies, this eventually led to the development of counter-strategies, including iron-walled vehicles and ships, foxholes (long protective trenches) and body armor. It even gave rise (for example) to the modern spread-out city with its surrounding suburbs, by rendering the protective stone walls of the Middle Ages almost useless.

In short, the development of long-range warfare spurred the advancement of science, leading (directly and indirectly) to many of today's modern conveniences. And by affecting which side won a given battle, it defined the countries and political systems of the world as we know it today.

Since gunpowder is explosive (!) I always make sure it is made safe by wetting it - water works fine, but will also create a chemical mix that is potentially hazardous.
As for the regulations in your state/country, I would advice contacting the proper authorities - Apart from the explosiveness, gunpowder is also a chemical hazard even in small amounts.
Where I live (Sweden) I would talk to the local recycling facility - Small amounts I am sure they will handle if contacted.
Larger amounts have never been an issue for me - Maybe contact a ammunition factory or a private/professional cartridge loader and hear if they have means to dispose of it for you?

Some people believe that Cecil wanted the plotters to be caught in the act of blowing up parliament. An anonymous letter was sent to Lord Monteagle (a Catholic) warning him to skip Parliament. This letter was kept for a week until Robert Cecil showed it to James I and they searched the cellars. A fortnight before Guy Fawkes was discovered, Cecil wrote to James I's servant saying this: “I spend my time in sowing so much seed as my poor wretched fingers can scatter, in such a season as may bring forth a plentiful harvest. I dare boldly say no shower or storm shall mar our harvest except it should come from beyond the middle region.” The plotters were from the Midlands ( middle regions).

because it was an act of treason and it was going to kill the king and all in Parliament.
