The Lonely Land

A.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

In his poem "The Lonely Land," A.J.M. Smith paints a picture of a landscape filled with both beauty and conflict. Repetition in the second verse is used in conjunction with personification to drive home the reader the feeling of loneliness and abandonment. He effectively uses imagery and language to suggest that beauty can be derived from conflict.Smith immediately begins his painting with a sense of conflict: He paints a "grey and cloud-piled sky" and fills the soft image with cedar and "jagged fir," a much more bold and harsh image. In the third stanza, whilst the reader is at odds with him or herself, the speaker brings in a sense of hope and optimism.

Samuel De Champlain

http://bp1.blogger.com/_zaVUPktVwB8/R5xhRW8a-

1a. Find a picture of Samuel De Champlain. What does he look like? Explain the picture in 5-8 sentences.Answer the following questions in 5-8 sentences to get full marks. Be careful of spelling and grammar.
USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

On your left,you can see a person who named Samuel De Champlain.He have a long curly hair.Under his thin eyebrows,it is his big eyes.The nose is straight like other foreigners in the west.He did not have a lot of beard filled his face.The beard is only under the nose ande the mouth.It is easy to see that heis a smart person.

1b. Remember to answer 1a before you do this question. Who is he? What is his nationality? What is his background?

(c. 1575[1] – 25 of December 1635), "The Father of New France", was a French navigator, geographer, cartographer, draughtsman, soldier, explorer, ethnologist, diplomat, chronicler, and the founder of Quebec City on July 3, 1608, of which he was the administrator for the rest of his life.

Backgrond:He was born in Brouage, near Rochefort, in the Province of Saintonge, France: Champlain reported to be "Brouageais" (to come from Brouage) into the title of his 1603 book. He belonged to either a Protestant family, or a tolerant one, in a Protestant region but a catholic city, as his Old Testament first name (Samuel) was not usually given to Catholic children.

2. What is his relationship with Canada? Why is he important to Canada?

Samuel is important to Canada because he was a French explorer and navigator who mapped much of northeastern North America and started a settlement in Quebec. Champlain also discovered the lake named for him and was important in establishing and administering the French colonies in the New World.He was an early explorer of the great lakes, associated waterways and an excellent cartographer. His explorations led to the founding or Qubect City and he more or less singlehandedly, opened up the north american fur trade. That in itself led to further exploration by others and the establishment of fur trading posts further and further into the interior.

3. When did he explore? What was happening during history at this time?

On his first trip to North America, Champlain arrived on board the Bonne-Renommée (the Good Fame) on 15 March 1603.1603 traditionally marks the point at which ‘English’ and ‘Scottish’ history became ‘British’ history, with the coronation of James VI of Scotland as James I of England. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were a period during which the “Three Kingdoms” of Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) along with Ireland became more closely economically, socially, politically and culturally tied together, sometimes peaceably and sometimes through great spasms of violent conflict. Together their regionally oriented economies and societies became linked to the furthest parts of the globe in large part through the growth of London. By the nineteenth century, the sun famously never set on the British Empire and it would be at the center of two World Wars in the twentieth.

4. Where did he explore? Find a map to help you answer this question. Post the map here and then explain.

He explored the New Franch.On March 29, 1613, arrived back in New France, he first ensured that his new royal commission be proclaimed. Champlain set out on May 27 to continue his exploration of the Huron country and in hopes of finding the "northern sea" he had heard about (probably Hudson Bay). He traveled the Ottawa River, later giving the first description of this areaIt was in June that he met with Tessouat, the Algonquin chief of Allumettes Island, and offered to build the tribe a fort if they were to move from the area they occupied, with its poor soil, to the locality of the Lachine Rapids

http://www.exploreny400.com/images/champ_route.jpg

5. Why did he explore? What were his reasons for exploration?

He wanted to discover a water route across the American continent!
He was the founder of Quebec with out him there would be no Quebec
He was sent by King Henri IV and set up trading posts. He set up the posts Port Royal, and Kebec (Algonquin word for Quebec, where the river narrows). I think that he was sent mostly to make settlements for France, to gain more land.

6. How did he explore? What transportation methods did he use?

In January, 1599, he sailed in command of this vessel for the West Indies, and during two years and a half visited many of the islands, landed at Vera Cruz, proceeded inland as far as the city of Mexico, and returned by way of Panama, where he conceived the plan of a ship-canal across the isthmus, reaching Spain in March, 1601.

Bonus1. Can you find a statue or a monument of Samuel De Champlain? Post it here and explain in 3-5 sentences.
