Beautiful Boredom
feeling alone,
like no one
cares, read
this because
it's absolutely
true:
someone
thinks about
you before
they go to
sleep.
people in this
world love
you.
reason
someone
would ever
hate you is
because they
want to be
just like you.
There are at
least two
people in this
world that
would die for
you.
mean the
world to
someone.
you don't
even know
exists loves
you.
make the
biggest
mistake ever,
something
good comes
from it.
think the
world has
turned its
back on you,
take a look.
remember the
complements
you've
received.
rude remarks.

Assigment #9
My name is Rose Johnson, I am 18, and I am a loyalist. I do not believe it is fair to the crown if we stop serving them, now is not the time for change. This is why I am leaving to find a place where I can serve in peace.
Today is my first day of travel and I have decided to stop by a lake to rest and write in my diary. I have promised myself that I will write in my diary every second day of my journey. By documenting my journey, my friend Bethany (whom I had to leave because she thinks the time of change is upon us,) will know that I am fine.
I believe that I must leave and continue walking, and riding if lucky, to get to British North America. I will stop at the first river I find in two days time.
With love
Rose
We recently ran out of food from our packs. We have only been eating scraps, William offered to go steal a knife and hunt, but I said as long as we can find fruit and such, we should be good for a few more days. Honestly though I just don't want to eat meat while seeing what it is that I'm eating.
Love, Rose

Bonus Assignment
Did you know that there is a World Asthma Day and a World Asthma month. Asthma month is the month of May and the day is, when else, May 6th. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) 22 million Americans, including 6.5 million children, suffer from asthma. This breathing disease not only results in over 2 million ER visits each year but, according to the NHLBI (National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) accounts for $16 billion in healthcare pays and lost work. Although there are various disease triggers, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), and the NPMA (National Pest Management Association) agreed that the presence of pests, mostly cockroaches and rodents, is what mostly causes it, especially in children.
NPMA experts offer these tips to help homeowners prevent pest infestations:
- Vacuum often to eliminate pest allergens.
- Dispose of garbage regularly.
- Keep food in sealed containers to prevent contamination.
- Properly ventilate basements and crawl spaces to eliminate harborage points.
- Seal cracks, holes and space around utility pipes that lead into the home.
- If you suspect an infestation, contact a licensed pest professional to inspect and treat the problem.

Assignment #8
Hello, welcome to the CANADIAN HISTORY INTERVIEWS! views... views... I'm your host, JESSICA R. R... R...I got an amazing friend who can help us with seeing and talking to ghosts, so tonight we are going to talk to LOUIS RIEL Riel... Riel ... stay tuned for more on this story.
Welcome back to the CANADIAN HISTORY INTERVIEWS! views... views... Listen closely, what do you hear? CLUNK... CLUNK... CLICK... That is the ghost finder 3000 it is searching for Louis Riel. BEEP... BEEP... Oh, look it found him!
Good afternoon, or is it morning?
Actually it's evening, we were hoping that you might answer some questions for us?
Well, of course. How else would you find out what really happened?
I don't know, but I heard from a place that you never finished school, is that correct?
That is quite true, and did you know that I tried to become a lawyer? Well it didn't work out so well.
Oh really, I didn't know that. Why don't you tell us what happened after that?
Well I was learning in Montreal, and after I stopped I went to my home town, the Red River Settlement.
Actually, that area is now Manitoba.
Oh really, well I was educated and bilingual. and, shortly after that, I became the leader of the Metis. in 1869 and 1870 I Headed a provisional government, that would renegotiate the Manitoba act with the Canadian government, the act gave some rights to the British language.
Quick question, did you really choose to execute the Canadian Thomas Scott?
Yes I did and I'm not too happy about it either, if I hadn't hung his head, I would have lived longer. Sad isn't it.
Yes, well why don't you continue with your story?
Of course. Well my hanging of Thomas Scott infuriated the anti-french and the anti-Catholic people. Although I was chosen for a seat in the House of Commons on three occasions, I wasn't able to take my seat in the house. In 1875, my role in the death of Scott resulted in my exile from Canada.These years in exile included the stays in two Quebec asylums and the growing of my belief that I had a religious mission to lead the Métis people of the Canadian northwest.
And in 1884 you were teaching in Montana at a Jesuit mission.
Yes, and I was asked by a delegation from the community of Métis from the south branch of the Saskatchewan river to present their grievances to the Canadian government. Despite my assistance, the federal government ignored Métis concerns. By March of 1885, Métis patience was exhausted and a provisional government was declared.
Go on.
I was the undisputed spiritual and polital head of the short-lived 1885 Rebellion. I never carried arms and hindered the work on my military head, Gabriel Dumont. I was increasingly influenced by my belief that I was chosen to lead the Métis people. On May 15, shortly after the fall of Batoche, I surrendered to Canadian forces and was taken to Regina to stand trial for treason.
And you gave six speeches?
No, I gave three speeches. And they demonstrated my powerful rhetorical abilities. I personally rejected attempts by my defence counsel to prove I was not guilty by reason of insanity. On 1 August 1885, a jury of six English-speaking Protestants found me guilty but recommended mercy. Judge Hugh Richardson sentenced me to death. Attempted appeals were dismissed and a special re-examination of my mental state by government appointed doctors found me sane. I was hanged in Regina on 16 November, 1885. Mt execution was widely opposed in Quebec and had lasting political ramifications.
Interesting story you were great! Until next week I'm JESSICA R. R... R... and this is CANADIAN HISTORY INTERVIEWS views ... views...

Assignment #7
I went to a site under Mrs. Pollock's recommendation, for assignment #7 it is called civilization.ca. I really like the 'we inspired' section of the civilization site, because if it wasn't inspired it wouldn't have happened.
My favorite is Gabrielle Roy. She was a french writer whom wrote Bonheur D'occasion, which was later translated to The Tin Flute. Gabrielle grew up in Manitoba, she translated that experience as well as her observations as a journalist in Montreal.
Roy quoted this in April 1966
"To write, it’s a need, it’s almost physical. You cannot avoid picking up the pen. Or touching the white page that is there, stretched out. Totally ready to receive . . . And you write precisely because you want to give, because you want to share with others. Because you have felt, or understood, the truth of certain human beings and you must say it."
Three more amazing Canadians are Sheila Watt-Cloutier, David Thomas, and Matthew Gillard.
I played the history match up quiz it was really fun and i think you'd like to try it.
Which History-Maker did you have the most in common with? Were you able to figure it out from the clues given? What do you share with that person? What are some things that are different between you and that person?
The history maker that was most like me was Piere Elliott Trudeau. there are allot of things different between us, but the only thing the same is that we both have french in our heritage. He was the 15 prime minster but i have no interest in becoming prime minster. He died 4 years after I was born. i was unable to guess who he was with the clues, but one of my peers was talking about his qualities.
One hundred years from now, (in 2109!) imagine that students are learning about Canadian History Makers and they discover you. What will you be remembered for? How were you a Canadian History Maker? You are using your imagination, so think about some things that you would like to accomplish in your life and imagine that you have all the accomplishments of your life to look back on. Write a short profile of yourself, imagining the contributions you have made to the future of Canada. (Write this as tirst black Prime Minister, cured cancer...use your imagination!)
