Assignment #7 Canadian Personalities

Assignment #7

a) Which category of Canadian personalities interested you the most?

The category that interested me the most was the "We Fought" category because it displays the courage and heroism the soldiers showed when they fought for Canada. For example, even though James Wolfe, a British Military General died in the Quebec war, his men still gained control of Quebec and ended the battle between the French and the British which basically started the colonization of North America and South America.

b) Which Canadian Personality interested you the most? Why?

Above is a portrait of Marquis de Montcalm. I chose him because during the Seven Years war, he led many successful attacks against British armys and captured several forts and seized military supplies for the French. He died on 1759 September 13, in the same battle James Wolfe died in.

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? Link to information about each of them.

Three influential Canadian personalities I would add to this site would be Terry Fox, Sir Frederick Banting and Dr. Charles Best. Terry Fox because he was the one ran across Canada despite an amputated leg and previous cancer. I think Terry would fit into the "We inspired category," because he inspired many Canadians to run each year to raise money for Cancer Research and help find a cure for cancer. Sir Fredrick Banting and Dr.Charles Best because they made a remarkable discovery "insulin" and had cured diabetes as quote from http://www.medhunters.com/, "The discovery of insulin in 1921–22 by the four-man team of physician Frederick Banting, graduate student Charles Best, Professor of Physiology J.J.R. Macleod, and biochemist J.B. Collip is the most famous Canadian medical discovery to date, and earned the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Today, the World Health Organization estimates that at least 171 million people suffer from diabetes, and insulin injections along with diet management remain the best treatment available." I think these men would fit into the"We Founded category because they did find a cure for diabetes called insulin and also saved the lives of millions of Canadians.

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?

No, I was not able to figure out who it was. The man I am most common with is David Mctaggart, a world famous activist and founder of Greenpeace. We both cared about the environment, which was basically all we had in common. He dropped out of high school before graduation, which is something I don't plan to do.

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.

First, I graduated from Brookfield High School, (at the top of my class). Then I went to college, and study as a scientist, and found a cure for asthma (since I have it). After that, I studied computers and founded a giant computer company, greatest there will ever be. Then, I've always liked videogames, so I got a job as a videogame designer for the best company ever (Microsoft) and after had a fortune to spend to live off the rest of my life.

Oh and Miss Pollock, please re-check my other posts because before instead of pressing the "Save As Draft" button, I clicked the "Publish Post" button so you basically only read my half finished assignments.
