Canadian Personalities (Assighment #7)

My answers for Assignment #7...

a.) I thought the categories "we built" was the most interesting because it showed how our country is built, which is important. Some people like Sameul De Champlain, David Thompson, James Bernard Harkin, Francis Mawson Rattenbury, and Jules Robert Timmins help shape out Canada. I really like the description "We shaped Canada's landscapes: waterways, mountains, cities and countrysides."

b.) Adelaide Hoodless's personality interested me the most because she believed both girls and boys should be treated the same way. Many years ago, girls weren't even allowed to go to school. Instead, women were forced to stay at home and do household work. Men were the ones who got education and have a job.

Adelaide Hoodless was born on February 27, 1858 near St. George, Canada. She went to German Public School and Ladies' College. When she was about 23 years old, she married a businessman, called John Hoodless. After she married, she participated in the YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association). She also support advancing the education for girls. At Hamilton, she opened a school of domestic science. Adelaide became president of the YWCA in 1895 and help find the Women's Institute. When she was 40 years old, she wrote Canada's first domestic science textbook.

Even though Adelaide Hoodless didn't fulfill her dream, I liked how she made several different accomplishments in people's educations. She died in 1910 when she was 53 years old. Don't forget to see these websites for more information on Adelaide Hoodless:

• Civilization
• Canadian Encyclopedia
• Hoodless Homestead

c.) I think Viscount Monck should be added to this website on "We Governed" because he is the first Governor General of Canada since the Confederation in 1867. William Lyon Mackenzie King should be added to the "We Governed" section because he was elected Prime Minister of Canada three times before. I also thought some of the European Explorers, like Jacques Cartier, should be added to the "We Built" part of this website because he explored and also supported the new country, Canada.
Here are some websites you should check out...

• Viscount Monck;


• William Lyon Mackenzie King; &
  
• Jacques Cartier.

d.) The History-Maker that I have most in common with is Lucy Maud Montgomery. I found it pretty easy to guess from the clues given, especially that they said her middle name is Maud and that she wrote "Anne of Green Gables". Like me, she was born in Fall (November 30, 1874). She really likes to read and believes education is very important. She had Awards and Scholarships given to her in her honor. She is also different from me. She was called by her middle name (Maud) and was the only child (she didn't have any siblings). Streets, schools, and libraries are also named after her, and she belonged in many book clubs.

e.) I've always thought about becoming a doctor when I was much younger. Here's my profile I've written about myself for the future...

Janet was a doctor that lived in Ottawa, Canada. She went to university in 2019 and study about Hypertension for 10 years. Finally, in 2030, she discovered a cure for Hypertension. By 2032, the cure was known worldwide and Hypertension was not a very harmful disease for people. Now, the cure for Hypertension is named after Janet and is used everyday to save many lives. Not very long after the cure for Hypertension, in 2035, Janet also discover a new and better cure for Heart Stroke. Although the cure was similar to the one for Hypertension, Janet accomplished a lot and was remembered for all her hard work.
