Exploration

I found this picture on: beaudaniels-illustration.com/technical-drawin... This picture shows Exploration can make the country rich and advanced. This picture is about gathering oil. This means if the goverment let the scienty continue study the geograghy, socienty will find some natural resources. These natural resources can be sold or use to make other products, so Exploration can make the country rich. If the country want to find natural resource they first have to develop their technology. When they have advanced technology, they can find the new resource that other's didn't know. This shows Exploration can make the country advance.

There also have some notes about which place they had already went. Which place they not went. This picture shows Exploration can help the country to colonial expansion. If the country let some people to exploration. When they came back they will give accurate informations to the government. These informations can help the government a lot.

I found this picture on: http://www.arcadiastreet.com/ This picture is about lunar excursion. This picture shows exploration can make the country have advanced science and technology. If the government let the scientist work together and continue study. They will get some new technology soon. For example: The America let the scientist work together to study spaceflight. Then they became the first country to lunar excursion. This example and the picture prove Exploration can make the country have advanced science and technology.

Fur Trade

I found this picture on : http://www.canpages.ca/ . This is a big black and white picture is about the Europeans gave the national people knife to change the fur. In the center of the picture, there are 3 Indians. Both of them put the furs on their back, the left one put some furs on his right shoulder. The right person not only put some furs on his right shoulder, but also take some furs on his left leg, and take a bever in his left hand. The 3 people in the center are run, it seemed they too impatient to wait to change the fur to the knife. Behind the 3 people, there is a woman. In the woman's hand there also has some fur. In the left of this picture, we can see the Europeans far away from the indians. The Europeans are waiting for the Indians.

I found this picture on : http://www.turtletrack.org/ . In this picture, ther are two colors in this picture: gold and brown. This picture is the while the Europeans and Indians change their things, both of them check these carefully. On the right, a Indian hold a thing like a long wooden stick on his hands. His left hand poking the protuberances on the wooden stick. On the left, there are two Europeans. The left European hold a fur on his hands, he look at it very carefully. On his left, the other European tripped to his right, to see the fur carefully.

I found this picture on: http://www.worldbook.com/ In this picture there are many animal's fur and head. In the middle, there is a big cattle's head. There are many bear's heads behind the cattle's head. Most of them are white bear. In the left of the picture, there is a lion's head. In the front of the picture there is a tiger fur. All the animals in the picture looks very fierce. This picture seem to metaphor the human is ferocious than the animal.

I found this picture on: http://www.thelastbestwest.com/ This picture is colorful picture like a canvas. In the middle, there is a European solder. He is stare ahead. His hands hold his big gun, the quintain is on the ground. In his left, there is a Indian girl. She wear a blue coat and a long yellow dress.

There is a little piece of fur on the carcass's head. This picture make me feel nausea and scared. The beautiful woman and the animal carcass emerge the strong contrast. It shows how human selfishness and bloodiness. Even the woman is very beautiful , her heart is ugly.

Literary Essay

Brave is a tradition virtue that everyone extols. People worship the brave person, and regard them as heroes and their gods. In the long history people always suffer disaster, common people can’t change their life, so their image the hero that can help them when they are in trouble. They place hope on their imaging hero. There are many heroes in the story : Sir Gawain, Green Knight …

In the story "Sir Gawain and Green Knight", Sir Gawain is the brave protagonist who is not afraid of face death and keeping him promise by dedicating his life. Sir Gawain is the character who shows his bravery when he killed the Green Knight . He shows his bravery when he struck the Green Knight head. In the story" Gawain swung the axe and struck the Green Knight's neck, cutting his head clear off his body." this conflict shows when Sir Gawain cuts down Green Knight's head, he is quickly without fear and hesitate. This plot indirectly presents Sir Gawain-brave, because he killed a person has to have bravery, when he held the axe and struck Green Knight's head he doesn't say a word and his action is quick, these actions show he is not afraid of killing people, he is not afraid to face death, this prove Sir Gawain is brave. In addition, he is brave even when he keeps him promise by dedicate his life.. In the story he has promised Green Knight to came to Green Knight's castle to dedicate his life. In the climax "Gawain did not try to move away, he just closed his eyes." In fact, he can run away when the castle master helped him, or fight with Green Knight when he swung his axe. If he fights, he maybe has the chance to live, but he doesn't. He just kept his promise to dedicate his life. This shows he is very brave, because he wants to live but he chose to kept his promise. All in all, the Sir Gawain is a brave protagonist. He is a knight who is not afraid of face death and keeping his promise by dedicate his life. In the falling action, Sir Gawain became the bravest knight in the world.

In the story" The Sniper", the Republican sniper is the brave protagonist who is injured very seriously but also continue fighting, and leisurely and carefree having his dinner in the war. The Republican sniper is the protagonist who shows his bravery when he enjoy his dinner in the war. In the story "He had been too excited to eat. He finished the sandwich, and taking flask of whisky from his pocket, he took a short dranght." This rising action shows when everyone is afraid about the war, the sniper is enjoying his dinner. This shows the sniper didn't afraid of the war. Almost all the people are afraid of the war, because war makes people die, and no one wants to die. The sniper not afraid of war, he did not to afraid of death so he can enjoy his dinner at this moment. in addition, he is brave even, if he is injured very seriously" The blood was oozing through the sleeve of his coat." He handles his wound and" lay still for a long tome nursing his wounded arm and planning escape." Hence, it means even if he is hurt serious he also continued fighting. He didn't run away or stop fighting. In fact, if a person was hurt, his first thinking is to run away, but the sniper didn't do it. His resolution shows how brave he is. He quickly handles his wound, and thinking about how to overthrow the enemies. Although he is injured he also thinks how to kill enemies. It shows he afraid of enemies or he is protagonist who is injured very seriously but also continued fighting, and leisurely and carefree having his dinner in the war.

Sir Gawain shows his brave by keeping his promise by dedicating his life. Sniper shows his brave by injured very seriously but also continue fighting. Although they shows their brave in different ways, they also have a common- they are not afraid to face death. People shows brave can in many different ways, some time be brave is just a small thing: admit your mistake, bear legal liability. Sometime be brave is very difficult. In the story “The New Cloth of the King” the king did not wear a cloth, but people didn’t say a word, until little child say it. Except the little child all the people afraid they will punished if they say king did not wear cloth. Brave can shows in many way. In fact, everyone is brave. The different from ordinary people and hero is the thing we shows brave are different. Everyone is brave, everyone can be the hero. If you want, you also can be a hero.

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.

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.

John Cabot

1. I found this picture（the left) on : http://www.planetware.com/ In this picture he looks a little old and tired. He is wearing a cloth on his head. His face looks very serious, he wrinkle up his forehead. He looks aheadvery carefully. He sat on a piece of wood. His clothe is very thin. His pain is even more thin I can see his knee very carefully.

The other picture ( the right ) I found on : http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/namerica/usstates/matimeln.htm In this picture John Cabot is standing in a hight place—like a platform. He is talking about something and look at the audiences. His sight is also serious and sharp. He is hold a book in his lift hand. Under his lift arm there is a big ball. I don't know what is it, maybe is a globe. There are many people listen to him. There are many books in the bottom of the picture.

2. John Cabot is Italian navigator, his Italian name is Giovanni Caboto. His was born around 1455 in Gaeta, near Naples, and was the son of a merchant. But in 1461 Cabot was living in Venice, where he became a citizen. In about 1482 he married a Venetian woman, Mattea, and they had three sons: Ludovico, Sebastiano and Sancio. He selled spices to the eastern Mediterranean, and became a professional mariner. Then, about 1490, Cabot and his family moved to Valencia in Spain because his countryman Christopher Columbus and he wanted to make a group to explore the Atlantic Ocean. The monarchs of both countries wanted to find new way to avoid avoid the Mediterranean and the virtual monopoly on the spice trade held by the Italians. In deeply religious age, Europeans wanted to spread knowledge of Christianity and to sontain spread of Islam. However, neither Portugal nor Spain was interested in John Cabot. They choose he to find the way to Asia-China. In 1497 he arrived Canada, but he through it is the eastern coast of the Asia. The next year, he arrived the land that is the eastern coast of the America. He report the England king that he found a new territory.

3. He is important in Canadian history because he found the eastern coast of American continent.

4. He left Europe because the Engliand king wants he to find a new way to sells spice to avoid avoid the Mediterranean and the virtual monopoly on the spice trade held by the Italians. And the Europeans wanted to spread knowledge of Christianity, and to contain the spread of Islam.

5. He arrived the land that is Canada now in 1497, but he through it is Asia. In the next year, he arrived the eastern coast of America.

They saw setes where the fire made. They saw some unusual animals. When he came back He became the hero. He found the new land of England. He saw so many fish in the water in Newfoundland.

失去

以前看到“直到失去才懂得珍惜”这句话总觉得很傻。“不想失去就紧紧抓住不就好了！”当时没有经历过失去的我是这样单纯的想的。但可笑的是，我却在自己鄙视的地方跌倒了。而且跌得很痛！很痛！现在想起来还会觉得心阵阵抽痛！失去它时觉得无比的后悔和震惊，因为自己从没有想到会失去它。它就像影子，虽然刚开始不喜欢它，但是这么多年伴随在我身边。它已经成为我的习惯，甚至渐渐的喜欢上它。但多年的习惯让我忽略了它，知道失去的时候。那股钻心的疼痛让我觉得好像身体都撕成了碎片。痛得不能呼吸！只觉得一切都没了，没有了！

怀念与郁闷

一眨眼，新学期过去了两周。回头看看时间过得真是快啊！偶尔还是会怀念在加拿大的时光，那是没有拘束，没有烦恼。真的是一种单纯的快乐！让我每次回味时都是一阵感慨和叹气！感慨是应为回忆中点点滴滴的快乐，而叹气则是因为中国古板的教育制度—作业堆成山 每次看着那些作业我都想大喊一声：“Oh! My God!!!" 真想问问那些教委到底是怎么想的？怎么能这么气压学生呢！！！天天说着“减负”,到底减到哪里了呢！真让人郁闷！！！～～～～

Hope

Hope everything is okay! Hope family members are health and happy everyday!!!^^
