Assignment #7

In assignment # 7 we had to read about some of the Canadians that have made a difference in our world or accomplished something fascinating. We had to answer some questions about what we learned and what we liked about learning about these people.



4a.) 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?

a.) There was other great choices but I choose "we inspired" because there was a lot of interesting information. They did great things that helped us today.



b.) Which personality interested you the most? Why? Find an image of him or her to embed it.


b.)The person that I found most interesting was Peter Pitseolak. I choose him because he is a very creative Inuit photographer. He also turned his creative energy to painting, sculpting and the collecting of oral history. He also had a legacy that was a body of work illustrating, from an Inuit perspective, northern life at the intersection of past and present.


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?

c.)The three people I thought of were terry fox and Jackrabbit Johannsen and also Celine Dion
I think all of these influential people fit in the category "we inspire". Terry Fox was a very determined person who wanted to find a cure for cancer and ran across the world with an amputated leg but he would not give up no matter what. Jackrabbit Johannsen stands for freedom, the love of nature and physical health. Johannsen was literally raised on skis. After
suffering bankruptcy during the Depression, he translated his hobby into a business
and way of life. Celine Dion is a great singer but she also helped the needy kids like the disordered and children with disabilities.

5. I voted on Samuel De Champlain because he was a great explorer who found new France which is known as Canada today.

6. I got matched up with Pierre Elliot Trudeau
7.) i was most like Pierre Elliot Trudeau and Emily Carr. Things that i had in common with these people are that Pierre and i both like human rights,we also both respect people and people with their freedoms. Things that i have in common with Emily Carr are born in the fall and she has a school named after her.

8.they will remember me for being a great vet. I will help all animals. Do great things to help make animals well, feel welcomed and useful for the environment.
