Assignment # 8 Louis David Riel

Ridge:And next I will be talking with the ghost of Louis Riel, it will surely be a treat.

Louis:hello ridge i am honoured to be on your show tonight.

Ridge:so Louis I've heard that you led two resistance movements against the Canadian government and its first post-Confederation Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, tell us about your first one The Red River Rebellion?

Louis: Sure it goes like this, The provisional government established by Riel ultimately negotiated the terms under which the modern province of Manitoba entered the Canadian Confederation. Riel was forced into exile in the United States as a result of the controversial execution of Thomas Scott during the rebellion. Despite this, he is frequently referred to as the "Father of Manitoba". While a fugitive, he was elected three times to the Canadian House of Commons, although he never assumed his seat. During these years, he was frustrated by having to remain in exile despite his growing belief that he was a divinely chosen leader and prophet, a belief which would later resurface and influence his actions. He married in 1881 while in exile in Montana, and fathered two children.

Ridge:i heard that you were executed how did they kill you?

Louis:well first I was reconciled with the Catholic Church, and assigned Father André as his spiritual advisor. He was also given writing materials so that he could employ his time in prison to write a book. Louis Riel was hanged for treason on 1884.

Ridge:how old are you now?

Louis:I am 165 years old now, after my birthday

Ridge: Thanks for bieng on my show.

Louis: anytime

Hi Ridge,

This is well done, but your first link does not work.

You also need to make sure that you are using your own words. I can tell that these are not all your own words as the character of Louis Riel says things like, "He was also given writing materials..." when it should say "I was given writing materials..."

Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with
hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no
backup. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?
