1. In the first picture, Jacques Cartier wear a red hat. He concentrate his attention on looking the right side . He wear a fur warm coat. His left hand petting his coat. There is a nipper in his right hand. His right arm on the globe. It looks like he is thinking something . In the second picture, he is wear a black small hat. He is also look aheat. His right hand hold his sword .His left hand makes a fist. The background is European killing the Indians. These two picture makes me know Jacques Cartier always think, and he is a heartless person.

2. Jacques Cartier was born in St.Malo (France) in 1491. I don't know much of his life before 1534, when he departed on his first voyage. He was looking for a passage through or around North America to East Asia, as some had done before him, and many would after him. He just spend twenty days to crossing the Atlantic Ocean. He landed on an island near the coast of Newfoundland, Breton fishermen always came here. He sailed to north and entered the Strait of Belle Isle. He sailed into the Bay of St. Lawrence and westcoast of Newfoundland and crossed the Bay to the Magdalen Islands and Prince Edward Island, he think both of them are the part of the mainland. Then he went to Chaleur Bay. At there he saw 50 canoes filled with Micmac indians. They seemed friendly and greeted him with the words napeu tondamen assurtah (we want to make friendship). The next day French and the Micmac traded and celebrated. He also met a fishing party of 200 Hurons, led by their chief, Donnaconna. His sons, Domagaia and Taignagny, went to France with Cartier to become interpreters. Cartier explored Anticosti Island and returned to France. When he hard a larg river further to the west, he hope it can go to the northeast. He departed on a second voyage in the next year.

3. He is important in Canadia history because he sailed through the Strait of Belle Isle again, but this time followed the coast westward, and reached the St. Lawrence. He sailed upriver until the Huron village of Stadacona (at the location of Quebec today).

4. He was sent to Canada in 1534. His king sent him to Canada, because the king wanted him to find a way to cross the Atlantic ocean and looking for a passage through or around North America to East Asia.

5. He went to landed on an island near the coast of Newfoundland and entered the Strait of Belle Isle then he sailed into the Bay of St. Lawrence and along the westcoast of Newfoundland, and crossed the Bay to the Magdalen Islands and Prince Edward Island, he explored Anticosti Island. The next time he reached the St. Lawrence. He sailed upriver until the Huron village of Stadacona .

6. In the video, when the national people first seen the Europeans, they were neverous, and all the national people watch out for them. When they see the europeans didn't hurt them, they are introduce they hometown to Europeans, and lead them to lookaround the hometown.

7. a: I know Jacques Cartier been sent by the king. The king wanted he to find the way to cross the Atlantic ocean and look for a passage through or around the North America to East Asia. When he reach the Chaleur Bay and Gaspé peninsula, he think the cloth that national people wear are have small value. He gave the national people some knif to change for the fur.

b: After sailing 115 miles they landed on a large island. He though it is a very good land, because there are many field. In the middle of this field there is a village-Hochelaga. He landed the island and found there is a kinds of plant that national people collected in summer. He gave tobacco to the national people to let the European continue search the land. National people feel surprise to the tobacco, because when they smoke they saw many smoke around him and they think their dream out of them.

8. Scurvy (N.Lat. scorbutus) is a disease resulting from a deficiency of vitamin C.

9. Hurins liked telling stories, when he found french like stories they always tells them stories.Cartier wanted king Francis I to hear about these stories, Cartier kidnapped Donnaconna and his sons, and took them with him to France.

10. If I am Donnaconna or Iroquois people, I feel angry with the french people. They appropriation of my hometown and killed my clansmans. I want overthrow them. I will hate when. After this experience I won't be friends with french, but I will learn their technology, and do commerence with European.
