Assignment #8

This is my assignment # 8


This is the question:Your assignment is to read about Louis Riel to try to understand some of the reasons why people feel so strongly about him, either positively or negatively. You will then write an imaginary interview between you and Louis Riel, giving him an opportunity to talk about himself and defend his decisions. You have to make sure to introduce him, like an interviewer would, telling your audience a little bit about who it is you are talking to and why he is important. Then, you will write three (or more) questions to be asked by you and answered by him. You must write both the questions and the answers.

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?Really i did like the "We inspired" , "We founded" , "We fought" , We built" and "We governed"because they are a kind of subtitles which are interesting.

Which personality interested you the most? Why? Find an image of him or her to embed (add to the body of your post) and write, in your own words, a short description of what he or she did and why he or she is your favourite. If you get information from any source, you must credit it by creating a link to it (that includes information from the site that I've asked you to look at.The personality that interested me the most was Gabrielle Roy. She interested me because she is a writer and i like writing.you will find her picture in this website http://www.civilization.ca/cmc/exhibitions/hist/biography/biographi231e.shtml
Gabrielle Roy is a French Canadian who grew up in a poverty in Manitoba.Gabrielle lived from1909-1983.Canadian literature changed in 1945 and So did the life of Gabrielle .
