Samuel De Champlain - Port Royal










1.A monopoly. This is a really wonderful thing in the world. This means he would be the only fur trader in French if he could make colonies. I love monopoly. It's really hard to explain. For example. Bill Gates. In the world, there should be lots of kind of computer programs. But when Windows came out, around the world's computer use this for a easier way to do work with others. So, step by step, there are only Windows programs in the world. It makes other program company couldn't live in the world. So Bill Gates has a monopoly in the computer world. These days, monopoly is not allowed in law. Unfair. Bill Gates paid for his bill for thousands of money because of monopoly.








2.The king was clever. If Canada became French's colony, the king would be able to rule the Canada and the Canada had to dedicate things and separate there benefit with French. The leader of the Canada would be the CEO of the Canada, which is the son company of the mother company French. It was also glad for the king because it may made him famous in the world. More famous, more money and more conglomerate.








3.



This is Port Royal. Very beautiful. Like Bay in L.A. I could see an island and water inside and outside this island. I could also see the down town and the grow town.




This is the Nova Scotia. Seems like the Port Royal. This is more peaceful. Lovely country side and green grass. I would like in this kind of area when I am old.

















BONUS:This is the map of Nova Scotia. When I see this map. I really miss the Taiwan land. These 2 both like the son of the big land. But Nova belongs to Canada but Taiwan don't belongs to China yet. I hope for Taiwan's back.



Nova has such a big shark. Ha ha. I would like to go there to fishing and to eat the shark. But this one looks not delicious. Very terrify.

2. The lesson I could remember is that lesson we learned the British Columbia. That was the first class of the Canadian Studies. In this class, I first tried this kind of teaching style. Lovely teacher with the all English class. In the first 5 minutes, I couldn't catch the class a little, but after 35 minutes, I enjoyed very much. Guess what? That was the lesson I started loving Ms. Chan. So, That was the class I couldn't forget.

3. Changed a little. I have never speak too much English before. But now, everyday learn with English. I feel pound of myself. I hate study before. Now I couldn't live without that. Things never change is that I used to hate uniforms, now also. I have more friends than before. Some of them are the real friends. We could talk use hearts.

Final Essay

Exploration can Create Conflict and Misunderstanding

Long long ago, there was a rookie explorer called Niunai. He was a little bit stupid. He hadn't explore for a time. There was a chance for him to explore which he could speed whatever how much money and people he wanted to use. But the problem is: if he find nothing, he would died. This is too strict to him but he really wanted to challenge cause he was a brave man and happy man.lots of money and people and then went. He landed, helped people and back.

He spent money buy lots of food. He loved pizza and alcohols. He started explore. He swam on the sea for 2 months, his food was gone and he had nothing to drink but sea water. The only thing he had is drowsy people and lots of money. He thought he could finally find a land and then had a good meal with alcohols. On the third day of no food to eat, he found the land and he smiled happily. His privates were OK, they went on that land.

When they landed, they met the native people there. Niunai was frightened that they didn't wear anything. They were handing the big wood spear and quickly rounded them. Niunai didn't sad and tried to use body language to show they are peaceful man. The natives understood and they took them to there house to live. Niunai started to help them to make and to wear clothes. When he finished one clothe, the food and drinks came to them. They took out their knifes and forks, the natives seemed thought about they would attack them. So they killed a private of Niunai. Niunai was crying. When the natives saw his cry, they stopped and sited down. Niunai stopped cry and started use knifes and forks to eat. The natives finally knew that "weapons" are the things used to eat. Niunai forgave them and helped them make clothes and use wood to make things to eat. They felt Niunai was a messenger from the sky. They allowed Niunai to travel around the land. Niunai found lots of good resources that he didn't have in his country. He made 2 of his privates to get some of the resources. When they stickied them off. The natives killed them. Niunai cried. After that, Niunai knew that the things they are stick was the worship of them. Niunai said sorry and they took the resources from another place. Only a little bit. For study. Niunai was not greedy. He was a friendly man loved pizza and alcohols.

After 2 months, Niunai with his privates got back. They took one of the natives. They would tell the queen about the exploration. They got back, and started teaching that native English. That guy was so clever and during the back to the homeland, He could say some basic English. When they back to the homeland. Niuni was really happy. Because of pizza and alcohols. That native traveled around and got back. The whole exploration was finished.

This is the story. Because of culture and the language, exploration could really make misunderstanding and conflicts. All above, we should try to make the exploration better. Better no misunderstanding and conflicts. Guess what, Niunai is me. They all called me Niunai. Ha ha.

Black Hustler

One of Blacks’ Life

A new life came to the dark world, he was laughing when he came out, happily laugh. He was a black child, completely black. He was born in Brooklyn, New York.

This kid, he grew, gotting big, then dead.

He did very good in his primary school, he always did the best, studied very hard in his class. He said “ I will be very famous, rich and everyone in the world will know me ! ” He did really good in the exam to the junior high school. His mom is really happy about that. But because he was black, he couldn’t been in the best school that he already could go into by his perfect marks. He felt unfair. He was angry. He wanted to cry but he couldn’t. he knew he should strangle. For his mother and himself. He went into a school which felled of the black people. His mom cried at home but in her eyes, there were lots of hopes. This boy did really good job in his junior high school. But he had no friends. Seems like black boys don’t interested in study. He don’t care, all he wanted to do is try his best to do his own work. He went to the best school in New York, not as the junior high school. Stopped him just because of his skin. He went into the school and studied. But after 2 weeks, he left school because white students always paid bad feels on him. White students always told the teacher that he was dirty and he hated on white students. But he didn’t. he just acted his own character. A student, a good student. Finally, he left that school and he first said a dirty word. “ go fucking whites ”. He went to the black’s high school again. He was sad. One of his classmates, said to him “ try this boy, try this. ” said with a cigarette. Just because he is a good student, he said no. but the black boy said if he was a real black boy. Finally, he tried. But he felt so tired. He backed to the classroom and slept. When he woke up. The school is over. The second day, that boy did the same thing to him. And the third day. He started asking for money to his mom. Just because his mom thought he was a good boy and he had never ask for money. So she gave to him. He went to buy the cigarette. And started smoke. But he couldn’t feel enough. He met the boy at the school and asked him “why cigarette do not make me good?” “for sure.” Said by that boy. “cause I put some weed in the cigarette that I gave you.” The boy is very angry. Fight to that boy. “fuck you man. What are you doing ?” the boy never fight so he had blow by the boy and he couldn’t hit that boy. That boy said “do you want more. My blow or weed smoking? Work for me.” He couldn’t refuse. He know. He started help that boy to carry the drugs to other school which blacks wanted to smoke after school. Step by step. He had no time to go to school.

His mom wanted to die when she know them but the boy said to his mom “ I won’t feed the family when I dead.” So his black life started.

He started. Really started. This time, that boy came his dogg., with means his friend. He helped his dogg to carry drugs. In a time. He caught a thug from another hood which wants his swag. He was to brave and tried to save the swag. So he used his best to save the swag not to fight. Finally, he saved the swag but he was really injured. His big head was really frightened by him. He made him to trade the drug. A lil bit of the whole drugs. He did really well. After 2 months, just because he is hardworking, he run it already. But in a time. Because he's home boy, that one made him to smoke, told the police what he is doing because he had lots of Jealousy. He went into prison for 2 months. He couldn't believe that man could to that. When he came out, he murdered that motherfucker. This was the first time he killed people. the big daddy loved his bravery. Gave all that boy's swag and thugs to him. He was getting really bigger and bigger. He was really greedy when he saw cash and money. One thing was very good that he didn't forget his dear mom. Her mom didn't know what was his doing but she could get lots of money from his son. She always thanked the god to give such a good son. one time, he remembered one of his dreams when he was a lil kid. That is music. He wanted to be a singer. so he told his thugs to by a record room for him. He started to rap. Luckily, his rap was interested by lots of people in the U.S.A step by step. his big daddy who was his boss of his hood love it very much. Made him to the second-place in the hood. At that time, he was a money machine. he slept until 10, started doing his drug trade, then made hit songs, finally did things in the club with lots of girls whole night. The girls liked his big bo very much and got money from him. He felt very happy.

Life went on, just like it was before, but he became the big daddy of the L.A. he could do every thing he wanted. Whatever murders, traps, drug-dealing, and more. "Motherfucker policemen are paid by me. They are my dogs. Policewomen could call me and suck my thing if she want, ha ha." one day, when he went to the club to spend his night, he killed by that boy's son. He dead with a pity, to lead the California. Finally, his mom got lots of money. 17 millions. but she finally knew what did her son like. She cried every day. Finally, she gave her soul to the Jesus. This is a black's life, a black man.

I don't know how could you feel and how could you say. I just want to show my respect to all the black men. Maybe they did bad things, but we should show respect. They are really big men. I hope dear Obama could change blacks life. We believe in him. Both black hustlers and me. The biggest point is his dream is already achieved: “ I will be very famous, rich and everyone in the world will know me ! ”

i will believe it. as you know, the public opinion is really really strong. just like the scientist believe the human is developed by big monkeys, the world believe it. in fact, it is wrong.



2. If you were John Cabot and someone told you the Northwest Passage didn't exist. What would you say? What would you feel? How would you react?

Flat Earth

1.Look at this picture. The ships are falling! I think this is a


joke. If the ships really felled? How do explorer do their jobs? The facts told that the explorers are okay. Their ships are already OK to back to there own land. Magellan, a famous shipper, already rounded the earth. This is a biggest reason people believe that the earth is globe.
In this picture, we could see that someone made the globe which shows the earth is a flat one. The only I could say about it is I don't believe in it. Maybe they think it is flat just because the earth in their eyes are the flat. Maybe they think that people could not live on a globe thing. But the scientist has already told that the earth is not flat.








2. 1- People could not live on a globe. They would feel faint.!
2- The earth we walked is flat.
3- Lots of ancients Chinese says the earth is flat.
4- In ancient books says that the earth is flat and the sky is a half of the globe.
5- I always walk on a flat street, not a circle one.


3.I would say YES.
Human is only the human, they are not as knowledgeable like the God. Human would never know too much about the world God made for us. Lots of thought said by the biggest scientist that might be wrong. For example: Seems like the world believes that humans were monkeys before. I really laughed. All we know that the humans are made by the God father. But the silly scientist said we were developed by the monkey. Ha ha. They have no evidence for that they said. Another thing is they have no religions.
