Assignment #9

A DIARY OF A LOYALIST





Monday, March 13 ,1783








Dear diary,




Today was one of those kinda days that are tiring. Being a person who is loyal to the thrown is hard work. All of a sudden some Americans began bombing our town. On my way home an American asked me to join them and betray my country. I refused with confidence that my country will win. Then he pulls out a gun and I kept running and he fired but missed. Eventually I lost him and went home. I am really afraid that they might hurt my children or my wife. I will not leave my country like those cowards. That left with out asking about what is going to happen to their town or their neighbours. also some are so bad that they turned against their own country and went with the Americans. One day they will regret what they did. I am glad that I am loyal and trustworthy to my family and my country. I will fight in the war and we shall win.





The tent we are living in and calling home is getting ripped up. Also our family is becoming bigger and this tent has barley any space in it. I don't eat much because I have to make sure there is enough money for my children and wife. At night we sleep on the ground and we are squashed together. Sleeping is not an option because I always have to beaware of what is going on. The Americans come in the day and night and never leave us alone. I hope that on day this will all stop and there to be peace in the world.

Interview

Rania's Rocking Rants

Announcer: Introducing your amazing host Rania Berjawi!

Audience: Whoa!(Clap! Clap!) Oh My Gosh it is Rania!

Rania: Thank you! Thank you everybody. Okay so hows everyone?

Audience: Good. Good.

Rania: Well today we have a awesome guest you can also say special guest.

So put your hands together for the ghost of Louis Riel!!!

Audience:(clapping)

Louis: Hi everyone! Hello Rania. I am really glad to be on your show I always watch it. I loved the interview with Obama.

Rania: Oh yes that was a good one. We are very pleased to have you on our show today. So Louis we heard some things that might need clarifications.

Louis: Like what?!


Rania: Well I heard you are a religious man and that you gave yourself a middle name because of being so religious.

Louis: Yes indeed I was a very religious man. I made my middle name David because in 1875 I had this religious experience and came I to believe I was a prophet whom God had chosen and given me the name "David."


Rania: Oh. Yes I see. People are saying you are a traitor and others are saying you were "misguided and impetuous." Which one is you?


Louis: They hung me because I was a traitor, but the truth is I was impetuous. I was eager to help the Metis. I could say I was a bit violent, but only in the battle.


Rania: Very well. I also discovered that you didn't let the lawyer's attempt to argue that you were not guilty by reason of insanity.


Louis: Of course I didn't let them because I was certainly not insane. I believed the Metis had rights!


Rania: Thank you Riel for answering all the questions I had and for being on my show. I guess we are out of time.

Louis It was no problem. Bye!

Assignment # 7

I am doing an assignment #7 go check it out on the link.



4. a.) Which category of Canadian Personalities interested you the most? Did you like the "we inspired", "we founded", "we fought", "we built" or "we governed" section the best? Why?


I liked all of them, but we fought inspired me the most because people fought for us and risked there live to keep our country safe.

4. b.) Which personality interested you the most? Why? Find an image of him or her to embed (add to the body of your post) and write, in your own words, a short description of what he or she did and why he or she is your favourite. If you get information from any source, you must credit it by creating a link to it (that includes information from the site that I've asked you to look at).





Louis-Joseph, Marquis de Montcalm was the one that interested me the most because he fought against James Wolfe. He beat the other team but then died shortly after. I used google.ca http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/exhibitions/hist/biography/biographi200e.shtml
draft







c.) In your post, suggest three more influential Canadian personalities that could be added to this site. Why did you choose these people? Which categories would they fit into? Link to information about each of them.

Terry fox, Celine Dion, and Richard Preston.

Terry fox inspired me alot because he ran a marthon for people with cancer. Also it was hard for him to run the marathon with a horrible disease that he had called cancer. He belong to the we fought group becase he fought a disease that killed people and did not have a cure.

Celine Dion is a great person and she was important to me because she sang about the titanic. It was a really important scene that happened. She also speaks french. Her song inspired many people. She is a very good singer. She belongs to the i inspired group.

Richard Preston attended Pomona College, in southern California, and received his Ph.D. in English from Princeton University.His 1992 New Yorker article "Crisis in the Hot Zone" was expanded into his best known book, The Hot Zone (1994). It is a "non-fiction thriller" about the Ebola virus. He came to know the virus through such contacts as U.S. Army researchers Drs. C.J. Peters and Nancy Jaax. His fascination began during a visit to Africa where he was an eyewitness to epidemic seven then-President Bill Clinton who, shortly after reading it, instigated a review of bio-terror threats to the U.S. .[2]The Demon in the Freezer (2002) covers the story of the eradication of smallpox, perhaps the most destructive virus to have plagued mankind. It details the survival of the virus in research labs and bio-weapon programs of Russia and other nations, despite its eradication in the human population. The narrative continues with Anthrax, a bacterial disease of cattle and humans, used in a failed attack against former Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota.The Hot Zone served as the (very loose) basis of the Hollywood movie Outbreak (1995) about military machinations surrounding a fictional "

5. Vote on your favourite Canadian personality. (Click on the link to vote)

I voted Gabrielle Roy.

7.d)Thomas Longboat has the most in common with me. I was not able to figure it out I really actually never heard about him so I might reseach about him.


He was a long distancce runner.

8. e)They will remember me for being a great doctor. I would make a great cure for cancer and diabites.

Assignment #6

Ferguson Jekson is a baseball player. He was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 10, 1965, with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was a pitcher. The first team he played Phillies then Cubs and the Rangers also the Red Sox then back to the Cubs. He was a three-time All-Star, winner of the 1971 Cy Young Award, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991. He was one of the best black baseball players.

Assignment #5

Well I came to Canada because there was a war in Lebanon. We came and it was summer, but when winter came there was a lot of snow and we had to dress really well because we weren't used to the cold weather. Now my family is okay with the winter all we need to do is dress well.


Canada one of the coldest places on earth in the winter. Luckily we have heaters, good quality jackets , boot , hats , mittens and gloves. Have you ever thought of how the people in the past that lived here surrvied in the cold without any of these things. There was a lot of wood to heat up and fish to catch they hunted for food like animals. They used there fur for clothe and shelter ect. I used the web site The Kids' Site on Canadian Settlements and google.ca.

Assignment #4

I liked Aynalem's assignment because in her article thing she wrote "there might be a first Asian-American President of the United States." That is something that may actually happen.


I also liked Alma's because she had "there will be less pollution in the world." It is something very reasonable thing because people should stop.

Mariam K's assignment was really good. I liked the part where it said " I think that there is going to be less war.Because now as you may no that America has a new president and I for one think hes going to make a big change."

Assignment #3

In a 100 years life will be different and hopefully better instead of worse.
I think that in 2109 there will be less pollution in the environment. Also that there will be a lot more respect for black people. Then there will be more of a population. There will obviously be more techonlogy like flying cars and robots to serve us. Maybe even robots will teach us instead of teachers. You should check out Christopher Moores blog.
