assingment #8

In this post I am doing assignment #8. I am writing an interview between me and Louis Riel.

Here today I have a very special guest. I have the "father of Manitoba". Louis Riel was the leader of the Métis. Métis are one of the three know as Aboriginal people in Canada. He led them to two resistance movements against the Canadian government. He fought to save Métis cutler and homeland.

Sam: Thank you so much for taken time out of your bussy schedule and coming here to answer my questions.

Louis: No problem I am excited to be here today.

Sam: Some people think that you are a hero and others think you are a villain what would you say you are?


Louis: I know that not everyone fells the same but I believe that I am a hero to many. I brought awareness to metis problems. I feel that what I did was the write thing to do.

Sam: so I see that you still stand behind your decision.What did it feel like when you surrendered and where going to Regina to stand trial? What where you thinking that must have been a really scary situation knowing that you could get the death treatment?


Louis: Ya I was real scared and worried. I won't say I wasn't but it still doesn't change anything. I was scared to die scared that we lost but I am proud of what I did and I would do it again if I needed to. When I was standing there and they where reading all the reason that I was getting hanged I was thinking about how we would have been worse off if I hadn't steeped in and about how many people think of me as a hero. I forgot at that point about all the people that think that I was wrong and that I was evil and focus on the people that said I was a hero and that what I did was right.

Sam: Well that some positive thinking! My last question for the day is that there was a lot of people that say you where faking the mental problems and other that say actually had some mental problems. What do you say to that? Where you or weren't you telling the truth?

Louis: The people can believe what ever they wasn't to believe. If they think that I just made it all up to get mercy then they are wrong. I will admit that I had some problems for a few months hut got over it. The doctors did clam that I was sane and had no problems in my mental care. I believe that they where wrong but all my problems ended when I meet this one girl. Her name was Evelina and she helped me through some tough times.

Assignment # 7

Check out some of Canadian personalities.

4. a) I enjoyed all of them a lot I exceptionally loved learning about all the contributions that females have done. I would have to say that "we fought" was my favourite out of them all. They all fought really hard for something they believe in. I admire them so much for that.

b) My favourite personality Nellie MC Clung. She was a feminist that started started off as a teacher. She met a lady that gave her great encouragement and she wrote a bestselling novel.

She used her great novel to get friends for the cause. I think she is the best because she fought for such a great cause.

I got all my great information from this great site.

c)There are lots of people that would that they could add to this website.One of the people that would be great for this assignment. One person that would be good for this web site is Dirk Graham. He was the fist hockey captain that was of African Heritage. One more great African Canadian is Mathieu Costa and he was actually the first person to set foot in Canada. The last person that I think should be on this website is Daniel Gali and he is a Olympic medalist in wrestler.

7)The history-maker that I got the most in common with is James Naismith. He was the guy who invented the popular game of basketball. I figured it out very fast. By the second clue I knew exactly who I got. When it said that the "Naismith memorial basketball hall of fame bears my name." I was easy for me to figure it out because I already knew his last name. Well me and James both love to play sports. He' done many of the same sports that I've done. Also I love to make up games that I think will be fun for others to play. He also belonged to many sports teams and other clubs just like me.Also we both believe that sports and education are very important. There are some differences although we are similar in many ways. Fist of all he is big and famous and his new game went international and mine are vary rarely approved by my friends. When he was younger he went to World War I. I respect him a lot for that but I am not planing on joining the military when i grow up.

8 e) Samantha Francis was a very inspirational female. She was the first female in the NHL. When she was at the age of 16 she was drafted to Detroit. She had a bit of trouble getting into the line at fist but when she did she played great. She was loved and wanted by so many teams. Everyone wanted her for her amazing shot and all the goals she scores. She was the nightmare of all NHL goalies. She was a coaches dream she did what she was told and did it great. Samantha got so many more people to come and watch them play. The stands where always full when ever Sam was going to play. When she was only 18 years old she got M.V.P. She was a legend for many girls and gave them hope that they to could be in professional sport teams just like her. At the age off 25 she got tired of playing with the boys. They always tried to knock her out because they where embarrassed because they where getting beat by a girl. After one to many injuries she started a WNHL. Women' s National Hockey League and made millions. Everyone wanted to watch how amazing these girls where. They stole so many fans from the guy's league that they had to reduce the guys arena to make room for the girls. There where some girls that did prefer to be with the boys though and they where able to because Samantha showed that it doesn't matter what gender you are if you can play Hockey then you should be aloud to join the team. Samantha made history by proving girls can do anything boys can. She inspired so many that taught that there dream was impossible to follow there dream and that anything is possible. Samantha Francis is a hero to many young female that have a dream to be in professional sport teams.
