The Lonely Land
A.J.M. Smith
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

What did you learn so far about explorers and the colonization of Canada?
I have learned so many things about explorers and colonization. There were two explorers of Canada named John Cabot and Jacques Cartier. They both did great deeds for their countries. Cabot found a new land named Newfoundland and took a lot of fish there. Cartier found some native people. Because of explorations, Europe became more and more advanced. Then, they became strong and made their first step to become colonizers.
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 textboo
In my life, there is a feedback loop about having meals and studying. I eat my breakfast, lunch and supper everyday. This is every one's things they need to do. Food give me energy to study. If I don't eat meals, I won't have energy to study because I will be hungry. When I'm hungry, I won't study well. This is a feedback loop in my life.

Because it was an approach to Asia that can help people found Asia. It was new and strange to people in the past, so they could go to Asia to find something new.

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
I think it is correct. But I was not happy, because they can't have the opportunity to experience. I believe him.Their idea is not impossible enough, I can't overthrow them without evidence.I would try to find the real passage that connects Europe with Asia.But I will to try it!!
If the maps around you showed the existence of the Northwest Passage, would you believe it? Why?
I don't believe him, because the map is painted often have mistakes.And everyone is different, so the direction of stand for different ways.We should believe compass,He pointed to the direction is right.

I think human beings have a false concept of the earth and the universe today.The earth and the universe are very large and mysterious. Human has many things didn't find, so human can't know all things about the earth and the universe. Moreover, human have many things can't find the answer.Though people used a lot of technologies to search on the earth, people think the earth is round now. People in the past all thought the earth was flat, but the idea has changed now. This makes people confused.So, it is possible that humans have a false concept of the earth and the universe today.
2. Imagine you are a person who believes the earth is still flat today. What are 5 reasons to support your argument that it is still flat?
1.we can not see the earth is round by using our eyes.

Some of them went back with their success so that they became heroes in their countries. So, Exploration is important for countries because it can extend countries' scope, develop countries' economy and advance technologies' progress.
_______Exploration is important for countries because it can extend countries' scope. Areas are important for a country. For example, John Cabot went to find Asia by the king's order. He and his crew sailed to find it, but they arrived in a new island. Cabot named it "Newfoundland". Then, they went back to his country and became a hero in people's hearts because he found a new land. They can use that new land to build up a new place to exchange trades, or use it to develop their country in other ways. It can extend the country's scope so that their country would have a wonderful future. Thus, the exploration that can extend countries' scope is really important.
______The second is the exploration can develop countries' economy. Economy is really important for a country because it determinate if a country can be prosperous. For instance, before a long time, an explorer named Jacques Cartier went to Canada and found some native people there. They communicated with them and used their knives to exchange of the native people's fur. Cartier and his crew took a lot of fur to go back and he also brought riches in his country. Because of this fur trade, then there started to have many countries and people to trade fur in the world so that their country's economy became prosperous. All in all, the economy's growth is very important for the country.
______The last is the exploration is important because it can advance technologies' progress. Hundreds of years ago, humans wanted to go to the moon to quest. Now, people have done their wish and created many technologies. For example, Anglesey-a Chinese went to the moon to quest for China. That was an exploration of space and it can discovered more about the moon so that scientists can work on it. It can help people find new technologies and do more inventions for countries. It can advance countries' technologies' progress. Hence, Exploration is very important for countries because it can advance technologies' progress.
______Therefore, exploration plays an important part in the world because it can extend countries' scope, develop countries' trades and advance technologies' progress. Exploration can do these for countries to develop fast. The countries can get more benefits from every exploration so that they can be advanced by exploration. It is a good way to open up new pathways to communicate and grow for countries in the world. To conclude, exploration is a significant way that can be used for benefiting for humans in the world.

Giovanni Cabato, better known as John Cabot, was born in Italy in 1450 as the son of a merchant. In 1461 John Cabot was living in Venice where he became a citizen. In 1461 John merried a Venetian women and they had three sons named Ludovico, Sebastiano and Sancio. A merchant like his father, Cabot traded spices with the ports of eastern Mediterranean and also he became an expert mariner. In 1494 Cabot returned to England to the merchant ports of Bristol where he settled with his family and to the King, Henry. John's scheme was to reach Asia by sailing west across the North Atlantic. In England Cabot received the backing. He was refused in Spain and Portugal.
In 1496 Cabot made his first try and it was a failure. The next year Cabot had better luck.
On May 2nd 1497,with a crew of 18 men Cabot sailed from Bristol on board the Matthew. The King of England wanted Cabot to find new land. They found new land on June 24, 1497 after 52 days of leaving Bristol England, they went back to their new land and raised the England flag. John Cabot and his crew had to return home because their food began to run out. The strong winds caused the Matthew to sail across the Atlantic Ocean in only 15 days and they called it New-found-land, also they found lots of fish there too. The merchants weren't pleased with them finding fish.
John Cabot returned in August where he was granted a pension and the merchant gave him money for another trip.
In May 1498 he sailed again consisting of four or five ships and three hundred men. While at sea they sailed into a storm and the Metthew was never seen again.
