The theme of the reading is about how the Industrial Manchester was like for those who worked in and lived in it. This part of the ready stuck out to me when I was reading. "If we leave the Irk and penetrate once more on the opposite side from long Millgate into the midst of the working-men's dwellings, we shall come into a somewhat newer quarter, which stretches from St, Michael's Church to Withy Grove and Shude Hill." This stuck out to me because it really shows what people thought about working-men. The working-class was not looked in that great of a light. This really shows what the people thought and how they went about showing what they thought.
This got me to thinking about what the life was like during the 1800s and how industrial life was. Industrial life seemed to be more difficult than it needed to be. But at the same time with what was going on it was not as bad as it could have been. There were harder time in history but at the time what they were going through was hard. That was a good time in history for the world because it lead to so many new things in the world of industry.
The modern parallels that I see with this reading are have a lot to do with how the economy is right now. There are ups and downs with the economy just like how industrial changes had there up and downs. The ups really helped the community and help improved the way of life. The downs were the worse of the worse they did not help out at all, they could have been the end of everything but the ups really helped.
This relates to the text with how the first industrial revolution caused more than it really helped but because of the second industrial revolution really saved the economy. There were ups and downs with both of the industrial revolution but the downs were greater than the ups for the longest time. The downs stayed around for a long time and really effected the world and the economy. The ups of the second industrial revolution pulled the world out of the down that the first industrial revolution caused.

James VI and I True Law of Free Monarchies
The theme of the reading is talking about how the monarchy was for James VI and I. "The state of monarchy is the supremest thing upon earth; for kings are not only God's lieutenants upon earth, and sit upon God's throne, but even by God himself they are called gods." This stood out to me because it really talks about how the monarchy thought that they had the right to everything. It was God's gift to them and the world need to listen to them because they thought that they were God's gift to the world.
This got me to think about how it is really only should what the Monarchy thought about themselves and not how the people in the kingdom were treated by the monarch. If you look at it from the monarchy's side of things then you see what they thought of themselves. They know how to shine a light on what they do good and how they know how to care for the kingdom. If you really look at how the monarchy was then you see that not all were as good to their kingdoms as they could have been or in all realty should have been.
This reading connects to today with how people in america think that they are better because some of them think that they are God's gift to the world. they also think that because they are God's gift that they have to save the world. But that is not true, just with how the monarchy thought that they were God's gift giving them the right to do what they think is best whether it really is or not. Sometimes we just need to step back and let God use us they way that he wants to not the way we think he wants to use us.
This reading relates to the text with how Europeans thought that everything was theirs because they thought it was their God given right to the rest of the world. Just like how the monarch thought that they were God's gift to the kingdom. Europeans thought that they were God's gift to the world and how they were there to help change the world for what they thought was better. God is the only one to really say what is better or not, no human can truly say what is best for other humans.
