My Special Place

The Washroom

The early morning sunlight rays. 

Thin beams of light slides through the window.

My eyes open.

With a slight blur to my vision.

I get up.

And the day begins.

My body is paralyzed.

As if it can only go in one direction.

I enter a room a small room. 

With white clean contrasting walls.

The sink lies motionless.

Dripping an echo of a tiny splash.

Suddenly a rush of water.

Buries the echo.

Then stops.

It leaves, moisturizing the dome.

Living it smooth and silent.

I raise my face and see a parallel universe.

In front of me, mimicking everything I do.

I turn to my right.

I face a large hollow rectangular bowl.

My foot enters a comfy, clean, cold gulf.

I turn on a waterfall. 

Roaring as if it were Niagara falls.

But the bottom enters a swirling vortex of darkness.

A mist forms .

A ghost made of steam appears.

Then the roaring stops.

Into a motionless quiet drip of echoes.

I then grab a thick coat of soft cozy furs.

 Coated in plain simple patterns. 

Covered in soaked markings.

I equip myself into soft cottons.

I open the door.

The large form of mist bursts out.

And my day continues.  

  

Assignment #11: Letters of Remembrance

Belgium 
November 25th, 1917 


Dearest, Brother


We still fight the battle  in the cold trenches of Ypres. Half of our soldier's are dead, for what? Peace & freedom for our country, I might as well have two left feet for the people we lost. The war is almost over, but every day is another dollar, they say fate is worse than death, I don't know which to believe. Some days I wish to be home and watch the 1st Pulitzer prize-winning play by Jesse Lynch Williams, "Why Marry?" & sleep all day. But not this day, life moves on, when I battled at war I would see Tanks, planes bombs flame throwers and explosions each soldier would yell take cover whenever anyone sees a grenade or anything that flies past them. About 6,181,000 soldiers died at war 29,500 are injured, everyone tells me this is the war of the century the worst one to occur I think it only begun. Many of our men are getting effected by post traumatic stress disorder. Everything miserable, I will be home soon but don't count on it, may god fight by my side.   

Field Trip 3, 2, 1

Hello Blogger's! As if you know when we (my class) returned from our field trip to the Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. I have to write a 3, 2, 1 assissngment, based on the field trip.

3 Specific things I enjoyed overall.

The 3 things I enjoyed overall would be, when our class was part of play, well actually more like an audience of the play, we learned a lot as our fur traders have to make a promises to a pledge and I also like how there was a horse exhibit that showed the history of horses from the smallest of species to the largest, and how we got to go to the archaeologist exhibit and that we were allowed to dig in the sand.


2 Important things I learned.


The stuff that I learned was in the fur trader exhibit was that the traders who set of sailing abandoned they're wives and that they're wives would  replace them with new husbands also that the fur traders would replace there wives with the first nations women.


1 Thing that I would've changed.


Would be more time at the museum, (because of the buses) it was really interesting and I would really want to explore more stuff and exhibits at the museum every thing there was really fascinating.

Assignment #10: Mystery History Maker

Hello blogger's, tomorrow me and my class are going to a field trip to The Museum of Civilization in Hull, Quebec. 




Here is a link to the museum website and here is a link more about Tom Longboat click Alfred Shrubb and click the title above this post tell you about the assignment focus.




On my assignment, I have to play this Mystery History Maker game which is about, which Canadian historian is most likely to match up with you. 


The famous historian that matched up with me is "Tomas (Tom) Longboat" (picture above)


He was a born on June 4th 1887-1949, and he was the world famous long-distance runner. In 1907 he smashed the Boston Marathon record by five minutes! In 1999, almost after 100 years of his run, he was named Canada's top athlete of the twentieth century by Maclean's magazine. His famous quote was "You've got to get out and run and stick through to the end to win".

1. Yes, I was able to Identify my Historian with clues provided.
2. The stuff I have in common with this historian, is that in our spare time we do sports, we're both fast in running (but he's way faster), both of our first language was our native (country) language and we both have one brother (except the fact he has two sisters as well). 
3. Tomas Longboat is significant to Canada as being one of the fastest and most athletic person in whole of Canada, by being crowned "twentieth century athlete  by Maclean's magazine". 

Some notes on Tom Longboat

• A school in Toronto is named after him.
• His faced appeared on a postage stamp in 2000.
• An athletic award in his name is given out each year.
• The annual Toronto Island 10-kilometre race is named after him. 
• He had one brother and two sisters.

One more amazing note, was when his family didn't believe how fast he could run until the time he raced his brother. His brother drove a horse and a buggy with a half-hour head start, Tom still beat him!
