On the 5th November,
Britain celebrates Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, for a man
named Fawkes tried to blow up Parliament (He was pretty unhappy with the
Monarchy and government) 400 years ago. He was caught however and executed for
treason. Nowadays we mark this anniversary by having a fireworks display and
burning things. A lot of the time I forget whether we celebrate because he
failed or because he nearly succeeded! I’m clearly an anarchist, haha.
This year I went to a fireworks
display in a huge park with hundreds of other people, and my friends Natalie,
John and John’s...
