1. What is an alliance? What does this word mean?
Alliance is just like Serbia and Russia, they are the alliance country I had learnt. These two countries are have very deep relationship in the long long times ago. They had fight together with their both enemy Roma Kingdom. Now, their relationship are continue to work on the export and introduction. My own explanation is two countries or group of people cooperating on the same democracy agreement, just like two groups combined. The dictionary meaning of alliance is a group of countries or political parties that are formally united and working together because they have similar aims or a relationship in which two countries, political parties, or organizations work together for some purpose.
2. Why would Champlain want to form an alliance with the Hurons?
There might be a lot of benefits for him. At that time, the Hurons were fighting with Iroquois. Champlain cooperate with Algonquin of Hurons and they became an alliance and resist Iroquois as a group. Champlain brought 300 solders to the rivers of Iroquois. By the Hurons' direction, they had discovered the Lake Champlain. After that, Champlain met a number of Iroquois in Ticonderoga, He had killed the two leaders of the group. From that time, the war between France and Iroquois was happened during the next hundred years.
3. This is a picture of Champlain and his Huron allies on the left fighting the Iroquois. This is one of the earliest images of Europeans and First Nations people interacting.

3. This is a picture of Champlain and his Huron allies on the left fighting the Iroquois. This is one of the earliest images of Europeans and First Nations people interacting.
a. Explain what you see in the picture in 3-5 sentences. Look carefully at the picture.
I saw a clear separation between the Huron and Iroquois by a solder stand in the center of the picture. On the left and right hand corner I saw two group of boats sitting beside the land. The peoples might on the right might be the Iroquois, because I saw most of the people of this group
died and reduced. The other evidence that can make sure those are the Iroquois is the solder is using a gun to fire to his enemy to the right way with a group of people on the left.
b. Do you think this is a realistic image of the situation? Explain why or why not in 5-8 sentences.
I think so, because the history didn't remember the whole course about their fighting. There weren't a photographers take a picture when they were fighting, but nobody said it cannot be. People at this period can create thousand pictures of their waring. I believe that the war between Iroquois and France just like this picture, because even the fact is not like this, this picture still shows their fighting and history clearly. Champlain helped Huron to fight with Iroquois is a no arguing fact.
4. The Hurons had many economic advantages because of their geographic location and territory. They were located on the southern shore of Georgian Bay, where the fishing was excellent.

5 . Find a photograph of Georgian Bay that you like. Explain why you like it in 3-5 sentences.
The vegetation of this region includes mixed forests, meadows, and fields. The sandy soil was perfect for planting corn, squash, pumpkins, and beans.
The picture shows the bay in a bright afternoon. The sun shine illuminated the bay in the sea as brilliant as a gold land. The water is a mirror that reveals the azure sky. The gray blue clouds are shining above the sun. This sight reminds me of the cold frozen aurora of north. I think this place is as beautiful as palace of gods.
6. Take a look at this piece of Canadian Art called "Stormy Weather". The artist is Frederick Varley. He illustrated the stormy weather of Georgian Bay.
a. How do you feel when you see this painting? Explain in 5-8 sentences. Tell me why you feel that way.
I felt very soft and warm. I think this painting of stormy weather is different from the real gloom and dark storm. In this real effect, the climate might be terrible as people's mood, but this painting has not serious and sadly atmosphere of the storm in my mind. I think the reason is Frederick used some bright and shallow colors on this design, so there were not any pessimist feeling around this painting. I think Frederick is a really creative and thoughtful artistic that can paint a severe weather day like this. I like the tree swing in the wind, it gives me a very intense feeling of optimism, just like everything is flowing across to me and the warm storming brings me a huge embrace.
7. This is a poem by A.J.M Smith. It was put together with this image on a past provincial exam.
a. When you read this poem, how do you feel about the Canadian landscape? Explain in 10-12 sentences. Think deep and be creative.
After I finished to read this poem, I comprehend why this poem had chose in the provincial exam. The words of each lines of this poem is very elegant. In the first stanza I had read contains cedar and fir these two words. When I saw these two, I was thought of this poem might aground a pessimist theme because cedar and fir only can be growing in the winter and there are nothing survive in this cold sad season. Than I continue to read and found a bay in the fifth line. At that time, I was thought of Frederick Varley's stormy painting. I think this poem used so many image that makes me felt similarly when I resee the painting. The bitter spray snap at the whirling sky just like Frederick's concept. The poet use personification, metaphor and imagery to describe a picture of spray chasing the flowing sky and trying to swallow it. I think this part shows the poet eager to catch his own dream and reveals his love to the freedom of that restricted society. I was budged to the stupendous thought of the poet when I read to the final part. The feeling seem to when I saw the warm storm, just like the transform from the sad to happy. It talked about the wind broke the branch of the pine tree just like the beauty broken by strength, but it also said it still strong in the last line. That is the most deeply part that affected me a lot. I think it shows the persistence to the dream of the poet and a exertion to the future.
8. What did you learn in this lesson? Explain in 5-8 sentences.
I learnt how the war between Iroquois and France developed and the condition and the environment. Than I learnt the Georgian Bay's landscape and a important part of the geography.The most achievement I have got is I knew a famous artist and saw and negotiate his notable painting and got a precious chance to practice one of the poem of the provincial exam. By now, I 'd say I learnt a lot by this class. I knew our class is going to over at June or July, so I want to tell Ms Chan that I hope to learn more interesting class by typing for the Canadian Study. I knew it is hard to bear or use brain, but I really improved a lot by this helpful class. Tank you Ms Chan, I am waiting for your next article!
