Anonimalle Chronicles English Peasants' Revolt 1381

The theme of the reading was that of how the King treated the peasants in his kingdom and how they went about to change it. "Presently Wat Tighler, in the presence of the King, sent for a flagon of water to rinse him mouth, because of the great heat that he was in, and when it was brought he rinsed him mouth in a very rude and disgusting fashion before the King's face." I found that the way he disrespected the King was uncalled for but at the same time it was needed to help the revolt. Because for the revolt to be successful it is needed to show the King no respect at all. 

The thought that you need to take great measures to show someone something really stood out. The fact that they were willing to do what they had to, to revolt was impressive. I do not think I could do that to someone even if I had to, because I do not like to be mean to anyone, at all. I like to look at the good in everyone, but they looked past that and saw what the King really was and had the want to change it. 

This connects to what went on in Iraq. Yes, they need help but they wanted to revolt against their rule because of the way they were being treated. This show that what happened in the past can still happen again. It might happen the same way it may not but it still can happen. 

This relates to the text with the Italian Renaissance in how they wanted to change something and they worked hard to change it. They had the want to change it and they did. Just like the Peasants' did in their revolt against the King. In both cases they did not wait for someone to come along and change what they did not like the took charge and changed it themselves.
