Happy Guy Fawkes Day!
Who is Guy Fawkes, you ask? Well I’ll tell you! It’s just a bit of an historical event with a pervasive message. Guy Fawkes is associated with the gunpowder plot to blow up parliament back in 1605 in order to restore Catholicism in England. However he was caught before the plan could take effect. The UK now celebrates the failed plot and burn effigies of Guy Fawkes on November 5th. I hope that was slightly educational and gave some insight into western culture. For a modern interpretation of Guy Fawkes watch the movie V for Vendetta released in 2006.
Sincerely,
