Hasan's assignment #6

This is my assignment #6 Black History Month. And I'm going to be talking about the worlds fastest man, Harry Jerome.


Harry Jerome, world's fastest man and one of our best-known athletes. He broke Percy Williams old record in the 220-yard sprint when he was just 18. He was born in Prince Albert, Saskatoon, and lived in Vancouver. Harry chose to avoid the limelight even after his athletic legend began to grow. "The Canadian Press often mistook his quiet demeanour for arrogance and aloofness."


He achieved a world record by running a 100 meter sprint in 10 seconds! But his career almost came to an end at the 1962 Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia. Jerome suffered a career threatening injury, completely severing his left quadriceps muscle, most surgeons said that he would never run again.

But that didn't stop him, he came back to win another medal at The 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, and to prove all the surgeons wrong, he actually set a new record, he ran 100 yards in 9.1 sec to beat his old record.

In 1966 he reclaimed his status as the world's fastest human. But he was getting older, so he decided to retire after the 1968 Olympics, but to every ones surprise, he finished seventh. But he wasn't sad because he has already won a lot of medals, so he was happy for the winners.

And that's how the life of a great man ended and his legacy began.

Hasan's super duper assignment #5

This blog will be talking about how first Canadians survived Canada's sheer cold, and why they thought that this was a "better life."
Based on the Canadian encyclopedia Here, the pioneer house's were typically a one-room structure made of logs, field stone, spruce poles or prairie sod, and they had to provide fuel for the fire place was a constant chore; timber, although plentiful in many areas, had to be felled, trimmed, cut into lengths and carried home.
Now there are allot of reason why people would want to come to Canada and say that this is a better life, some reasons would be:

• "They were not allowed freedom of worship.
  
• The government had control over their way of life.
  
• Men were forced to serve in the army.
  
• There were no jobs or the jobs were low-paying jobs.
  
• Many were poor and barely made enough to survive.
  
• Farmers wanted to own their own land.
  
• Cities were overcrowded, dirty and polluted". Taken fro wikipedia.

So to them this was a better life.

The reason my family moved to Canada is because my dad had found a job here, so we had to move. We came to Canada three days before winter. We enjoyed springs weather, but we were shocked when winter came. Because we just came from one of the worlds hottest country to one of the worlds coldest country. We thought of returning to U.A.E but we decided to stay.

Hasan's Assignment #4

I think that my class mates have put in some time and thoughts into assignment #3 and they have some really good points.


Some of the blogs I've visited were : Stefans,, Tales, Firas.


I really don't think there is something as what Firas said "doomsday" that's suppose to happen in 2012., but i do think we will end up living on Mars, Tale said "In 100 years I think Canada will be along side the rest of the world on the planet Mars", and I i really think that people will have robots to do things for them, like Stephan said "The people that have alot of money will probably not worry bout nothing. They can get a robot to do their lives for them". Most of these things i never thought of.

To the Nines-- reviewing the centuries Response assignment #3

Hi, I'm going to be responding to Christopher Moore's blog called "To the nines reviewing the centuries blog as my history assignment #3. Here

The question he's asking is what we think Canada will be like in 100 years from now.
I think Canada will improve a lot in those upcoming 100 years, maybe they'll find a cure for cancer, or students will stop using textbook and use blogs instead.

Maybe scientists will find a solution for global warming if they spend a little more time on it because this is a lot more important than things like living on mars or making a new game system.

Maybe we will find a way to plant some plants on mars so we get oxygen on mars so we will be able to live there eventually because it is said that scientist have already found water there.

Instead of using oil for energy because its expensive and limited, scientist would probably find a way to make solar powered cars which i think they're already working on or solar powered airplanes.

Maybe they would make a machine that predict when earth quakes are about to happen or create machines that act like mountains to stop or weaken the earth quakes, because mountains are said to weaken earth quakes
