The event is accompanied by firework displays, the lighting of bonfires and the ceremonial effigy-burning of one Guy Fawkes.

Now read the text and then find the answers to the exercises. Sample answers to Exercise 1:Oct. 10: one of Fawkes Catholic friends, named Catesby, asked him if he would support a plan to change the government and replace it with another.Oct. 27: Fawkes and Catesby arranged to buy a house close to the Houses of Parliament. Oct. 28-31: Catesby and Fawkes bought large containers of gunpowder and stored them in the cellar. Nov. 6: the king and all his advisers would be in the parliament for the meeting. Sample answers to Exercise 2:S1: I would not like to be King James, because he kept changing his mind. He would say, “I could not be tolerant of their religion.” And he took actions to stop people believing in Catholic. S2: I would like to be Robert Catesby. He would say like this: The king is never so tolerant of the Catholics. So I decided that a violent action is the only answer. The thing to do was to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, we would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for the Catholics. And to carry out the plan, Catesby and his men got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder and stored them in a cellar, just under the House of Lords. S3: I would be an eyewitness: As the group worked on the plot, it became clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack, including some people who even fought for more rights for Catholics.
