peom explain

ex: With moon light
the night (rhyme)

The rhyme can create rhythm for the poem. Rhythm is important to a poem. It can also make the poem sounds like a poem.

ex: Silently slightly without sad (alliteration)

Similar to rhyme, alliteration can create rhythm too. 's' is a soft pronounce letter so that it reveals a bland and mirth atmosphere.

ex: From the vaguely clearly shadow of brighten darken trees ( paradox)

"vaguely" and "clearly" are antonyms. "brighten" and "darken" are antonyms. They seem imposable but the picture is really in this way.

ex: Owls looking ( imagery , symbolize)
Owls is a animal that everyone know so that when people hear the word "owl" they will reveal a vivid figure of this bird in their mind. For most kind of owls prey at night or dawn, they are regarded as the symbol of night, darkness and mystery.

ex: "With moon light the night" and "The night with moon light" (repetition)
This sentence is the beginning and ending of the poem. It describe the situation where the poem created. The repetition impress the feeling while the beginning and ending are not totally same. In this style, the second stanza is looks like the shadow of first one. It's similar to the picture.

Mountains in misting
Owls looking
As pure forest fairy fall in love with poor honest woodman
there is a willing
The night
with moon light

The Lonely LandA.J.M. Smith
Cedar and jagged fir
uplift sharp barbs
against the gray
and cloud-piled sky;
and in the bay
blown spume and windrift
and thin, bitter spray
snap
at the whirling sky;
and the pine trees
lean one way.
A wild duck calls
to her mate,
and ragged
and passionate tones
stagger and fall,
and recover,
and stagger and fall,
on these stones -
are lost
in the lapping of water
on smooth, flat stones.
This is a beauty
of dissonance,
this resonance
of stony strand,
this smoky cry
curled over a black pine
like a broken
and wind-battered branch
when the wind
bends the tops of the pine
like a broken
and wind-battered branch
when the wind
bends the tops of the pines
and curdles the sky
from the north.
This is the beauty
of strength
broken by strength
and still strong
The peom seems to be written for that painting for the situation it discribed is similar. The title of the poem called 'lonely land'. It's not a mirth or hopeful title. Close to the paiting, 'Lonely Land' reveals a sadness and lonely atmaphere. There is still some positive moral exist. For example, the last sentence 'broken by strength and still strong' showing strong and independence mind. It reveal a sight of hopeful. America is a new continent which was just discovered in that period of time. Eupean countries was eager to explore and colonize it. Canada was not a country that time. It contained poor propulation excapt few native people. It was not surrprised that the land was lonely.

Northwest passage





1. If the maps around you showed the existence of the Northwest Passage, would you believe it? Why?


Maybe I will believe it if the map showed the existence of the Northwest Passage. Though people are unlikely to get to China though America travel by the surface of the Earth either land or water, they can, instead, achieve it by passing though air, nothing can stop it.



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?

If I am John Cabot I will angry if someone told me that the Northwest Passage didn't exist. I will also feel preposterous to the idea and taunt that person who told me this stuff. I won't change my goal.


3. Find a map by Humphrey Gilbert from 1582. What do you see in the picture? Explain.

Humphrey Gilbert is a English explorer. He believe Northwest passage is exist. He drew it on to the map.



4. Why did the Northwest Passage suit the goals (agenda) of the Eurpean explorers and monarchs?

The explorers want to find a short way to China. The monarchs want to get money from Asia. If the explorers find Northwest Passage they would become famase.

5. Feedback loops help us to see reality as a system. Can you think of an example of a feedback loop from your own life? Look at page 225 of your textbook to help you.

ex: people die because of disease, disease increase because of there are many died body.



6. What did you learn so far about explorers and the colonization of Canada?

I have learned that Canada had once colonizd by Europe. learned the history of some explorers. Jacques Cartier give me deep impression. He was a French explorer who traveled to Canada three times. He took the chief to France in his second voyage.

Fale of Earth and Universe

I the there are still some mistake of the universe today. I don't agree that universe has edges. In my thought, universe is space.

Reason to suppot that Earth is flat

1. It was assumed that, if ether existed, the light pulse would fall back in one direction, giving the physicists a tangible "absolute" speed of the earth. Their calculated speed: Zero

2. With all this turbulence and motion, if the world were round, the oceans should all fall "down" into the sky, leaving the planet dry and barren, and the atmosphere would simply float away. Why, just look at the moon.

3. there are rivers that flow for hundreds of miles towards the level of the sea without falling more than a few feet — notably, the Nile , which, in a thousand miles, falls but a foot. A level expanse of this extent is quite incompatible with the idea of the Earth's 'convexity'"; and that an aeronaut at the highest possible altitude will see what appears to be a concave surface "this being exactly what is to be expected of a surface that is truly level, since it is the nature of level surfaces to appear to rise to a level with the eye of the observer".

4. If it is a sphere, the surface of a large body of water must be curved. The Johnsons have checked the surfaces of Lake Tahoe and the Salton Sea (a shallow salt lake in southern California near the Mexican border) without detecting any curvature."

5. The planetary bodies above the Earth revolve above it, thereby causing sunrise and sunset to occur .

Flat Earth Picture


These two picture are 'flat Earth' revealing. eventhough the picture of the Earth have be taken by state in space and the evidence have improve that th Earth is a ball, some peaple still insist on the old theory saying that the world we live is flat. The first picture is a model of flat Earth, different from ball shape Earth modle, this one is as flat as a dish. it seems to be placed in a transparent ball shape box. For the theme of this picture is that the Earth is flat, it give people a unuaual feeling especially when they saw all continent crowed togather, at least looks like crowed togather. This picture which showing a sail boat go near the edge od the flat Eath is extraordinary beautiful. Light of moon penetrait the dusky cloud full of sky and spread on to surface of the sea water. At the edge of the Earth, warter fall of as a huge waterfall. a lonely sail boat looks very small in this situation.

Puppy show

The puppy show made by our group is about the second voyage of Cartier to Canada. At this time, Cartier decided to take Donacona, the chief of native people, to France that he could show the riches and valueble to the French king.

The main charactors are Cartier, the chief, the chief's son and viligers. I was the voicer of Cartier. I learned nothing from making this show, I think it just wast of times. My group worked well together. Our group was as same as the ship's group. We worked well of the viking ship and we know each other well.

Exploration is important to a counyry

____Humans need exploration. Exploration also needs humans. Curious, the special feature of hymning, push people to explore and then the result of one exploration usually suspense another one.

Even though the land is not Asia, and there is no diamond or gold full of ground, the discovery still give Europe great treasure and began a colony for a long time until American countries separated from Europe.
____Newland means new world where has numerous recourses .When Cabot first arrived Canada, he was surprised by the cod which they must never seen in Europe. He noticed immediately that it's a valuable food resource and also the importance of American continent. Cartier, a voyage man and explorer, sail to Canada for tree times and set up the colony to Canada. During his first voyage, he had a conflict between the native people and kidnaps the chief's two son. At last the chief agree that his son would be taken to France under the promise of sending back them with lots of European goods. Cartier did send back them on his seconds voyage to Canada. He had already got many things from Canada while he was not satisfied with that. He wanted to show the valuable and magic of Canada to the French king so he takes the chief who could tell how rich Canada was to the king by heself. It really did, bring rich resources to them.
___Trading is an important part of exploration. Exploration can give trading more kinds of goods and, in the other hand, trading stimulate the exploration of new product. There was a time when fur trading was every prevail between Canada and European. Fur resource in clued many species of animal and the fur from beavers occupied important number of them. Beaver hat was popular in that period. The requirement made many kinds of beaver hat. Each kind has its own feature and adventure. The fur trading is on the base of exploration.
___Exploration is important to a country; it can bring wealth to it. Exploration is every where either in past or today. it involve science, geography, history and nature. Every thing can be explored. Every project or object has the requirement of being discoverd even if it seems to be simple and usual.

he is a Italian exploer who and his men may have been the first Europeans to set foot on the North American mainland since the vinkings.

Vinking ship


I like this picture of ship because it's very similar to old vingking ship , not a morden one. The sail is almost brown, it shows that the ship must been used for a long time.
