assignment #7

a)The Canadian personalities that interest me the most is the we build section. Why they interest me the most is because the people in that section didn't wait for others to do stuff for them they did it their self. With out them the world would be different,because David Thompson made a map of the Canadian Northwest , imagine if he didn't do that and if Samuel De Champlain didn't explore and discovered what he did. The world would be really different.



b) The personality that interests me the most is David Thompson. He was a map maker and made a map of the Northwest part of Canada, at the time there was no map of that area. With out him making that map, there probabaly would be no maps of that area. That's why he is my favourite.


c)Also three other influential are Samuel De Champlain, Francis Rattenbury,and James Harkin. I suggested these people because, they contribute alot to this country, like helping Canada become what it is today.

d)The person that I was most common with is David Mctaggart. He was a high school drop out .His first languagewas English but he still communicated with others who didn't speak English.He also sailed across the world .Now he lives and retired in Italy.

e)Haron is a world famous animal reseacher. He discovered many different kinds of animals.Many of those animals are amazing like the Egyptian sky gecko that were hidden in the clouds for millions of years.He also had ideas that changed the world, like for explain the animal translater the helps animals communicate with humans.He changed the world for the better.
